Web Editor’s comment: In Item two above the captions inscribed in some images are somewhat misleading. Also the term “1800s” should be read as “nineteneth century” … and for photographs it is actually late nineteenth century. For the history of photography in Sri Lanka, see Ismeth Raheem and Percy Colin-Thome, Images of British Ceylon, Singapore, Studio Times, 2000.
The images presented here are NOT part of the collections advertised; but are taken from Roberts, Potency, Power & People in Groups, Colombo, Marga, 2011,
