EDITORS COMMENTS
The print captures a historic moment in Kandy, Ceylon (now Sri Lanka), as the statue of the late Sir Henry Ward is unveiled. The engraving, created by an English School artist in the 19th century, showcases a significant event that took place on November 7,1868. In this scene, diplomats, politicians, and crowds gather to witness the unveiling ceremony. Sir Henry Ward was a prominent figure who served as Governor of Ceylon from 1855 to 1860. His contributions to the region were highly regarded and celebrated through this grand statue. The atmosphere is filled with anticipation and reverence as the cloth covering the statue is pulled away. The crowd's excitement can be felt through their animated expressions and gestures. This monumental occasion symbolizes not only respect for Sir Henry Ward but also highlights his lasting impact on Ceylon's history. Kandy itself serves as an awe-inspiring backdrop with its lush landscapes and rich cultural heritage. This engraving provides us with a glimpse into Asian history during colonial times when British influence was prevalent in various parts of Asia. This image from Bridgeman Images allows us to appreciate both artistry and historical significance while commemorating an influential figure like Sir Henry Ward within Sri Lankan history.
