Book Description: Serendib Publications, London, edition, 1998., 1998. Cloth, 4to, viii, 404 pp. From the blurb: "A significant part of the visual record of Sri Lanka (Ceylon) in the 19th century consists of engraved illustrations published in newspapers and magazines. These engravings give an insight into many aspects of the island in that period : its physical features, people, occupations, dress, customs, monuments, fauna and flora, as well as historical events. A meticulous search of newspaper archives in Britain, Sri Lanka and several other countries has resulted in the comprehensive collection of illustrations assembled in this book. They come from the pages of such pioneers in illustrated journalism as Britain's Illustrated London News and the Graphic as well as the more obscure or now long-forgotten sources, such as Muniandi, a humorous journal published in Colombo for a brief three years from 1869. The pictures appear here along with the original captions and texts - some translated into English -which accompanied them. The author's notes giving additional information or bringing the information up to date, enhance the value of the reproduced illustrations and text. The illustrations reflect the skills of numerous artists and, latterly, photographers; the technology of the time required the further skills of engravers, mostly anonymous, before their work could be reproduced. The artists include such talented recorders of 19th century Ceylon as Andrew Nicholl, JLK van Dort, William Simpson, Adrien Marie and Wilheim Heine; there is also a quaint contribution from Arthur Rackham : his first printed sketch. For all those with a curiosity about Sri Lanka's past, not just scholars and researchers, this book is a splendid treasure trove of information." Contents include: Preface; Introduction; 1. Peoples, Customs and Occupations; 2. Historical Events; 3. Leisure and Sports; 4. Elephants: Kraals and Hunting; 5. Towns and Buildings. Views. Natural History.
