EDITORS COMMENTS
Princes Club, Colombo, Ceylon (Sri Lanka), circa 1910: A snapshot of colonial grandeur in the heart of Colombo, the capital city of Ceylon (now Sri Lanka), during the early 1910s. The Princes Club, a grand British institution, stands proudly on a tree-lined street, its large, imposing facade a testament to the British Empire's architectural influence. The club's balcony, shaded by palm trees and offering a view of the bustling city below, invites members to enjoy the cool shade and the sights and sounds of Colombo. The road in front of the club is filled with activity, with rickshaws and other vehicles making their way through the traffic. People dressed in the fashion of the time go about their daily business, adding to the vibrant scene. The trees lining the street provide a sense of tranquility and shade, a welcome relief from the heat of the tropical climate. The Princes Club was a social hub for the British community in Colombo, offering a place for relaxation, recreation, and networking. The club's grandeur and prestige were symbols of the British presence in Ceylon during the colonial era. Today, the building stands as a reminder of the rich history and cultural diversity of Colombo and Sri Lanka."
