EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection takes us back in time to the mid-19th century, when Sri Lanka was still known as Ceylon. The image showcases a remarkable feat of engineering and offers a glimpse into the country's rich history. The photograph captures a section of the railway that connects Colombo, the bustling capital city, with Kandy, an enchanting hill station nestled amidst lush greenery. Known as "Sensation Point" this particular stretch of track is renowned for its breathtaking views and exhilarating journey. Taken between 1863 and 1874 using albumen silver printing techniques, this image exudes an air of nostalgia. It transports us to an era when steam locomotives chugged along these tracks, carrying passengers through picturesque landscapes and tea plantations. The composition is strikingly beautiful; it showcases the intricate details of both nature and man-made structures. The verdant hills serve as a stunning backdrop while the railway itself stands as a testament to human ingenuity. As we gaze upon this historical gem, we are reminded of how far transportation has come since those early days. This photograph allows us to appreciate not only Sri Lanka's natural beauty but also its progress in connecting distant places through modern infrastructure. With every glance at this mesmerizing print, we are transported back in time to experience firsthand what it must have been like to embark on this sensational rail journey between Colombo and Kandy in colonial-era Sri Lanka.
