EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-coloured photograph transports us back in time to the early 20th century on an up-country tea estate in Ceylon, now known as Sri Lanka. The image captures a picturesque view of the tea-processing sheds nestled amidst lush greenery and rolling hills. A road leads us through the estate, inviting us to explore further. The vibrant colours added by PlAtA©, Ltd. Ceylon enhance the beauty of this rural landscape, showcasing the idyllic charm of a tea field in its prime. Rows upon rows of neatly planted tea bushes stretch out into the distance, their leaves glistening under the warm sunlight. As we gaze at this scene frozen in time, we can almost imagine hearing the sounds of workers bustling about their tasks and catching whiffs of fragrant tea leaves being processed nearby. This photograph offers a glimpse into an era when Ceylon was renowned for its high-quality teas that were enjoyed around the world. Preserved by Bridgeman Images, this print serves as a reminder of Ceylon's rich history and heritage in tea production. It is not just a visual delight but also an important document that showcases how these estates played a significant role in shaping Sri Lanka's economy during this period. Whether you are an admirer of photography or have an interest in historical landscapes, this image will transport you to another time and place – one filled with tranquility and natural beauty amidst vast fields of tea bushes.
