‎1895. Good overall. Large albumen photograph depicting a Cingalese Ceylon family consisting of a grandfather father and young daughter all dressed in their finest.

Smith Finlay and W.M. Smith in Colombo Ceylon in 1883. From a small mercantile establishment the Company grew rapidly into a large general store selling most commodities. The name Colombo Apothecaries Company was established in 1892 and by this time already had a photographic department. As an expansion of this department the company acquired the negatives of Charles Scowen Company and moved their studio to Kandy where the climate was considered better for photographic work than Colombo. After the acquisition of the Scowen portfolio the Colombo Apothecaries Company produced a fine catalogue and started selling their photographs worldwide". Our thanks to Palinda de Silva for the above information.<br /> <br /> This is just such an intimate portrait with the grandfather at the right slightly blurred as if he moved during a long exposure.<br /> <br /> A good bright image some light creasing and a little chipped at edges otherwise good condition.

‎[Sri Lanka; Photography] [Karl Lewis, photographer]‎

‎Photo album of a British Businessman's life in Ceylon with 3 Hong Kong Silvertone photos‎

‎1920. Hardcover. Very good overall. An interesting photograph album of about 88 photographs compiled by an unknown British businessman who visits Hong Kong Colombo & wider Ceylon. He visits Hong Kong as a bachelor and here there are several amusing snapshots of men in kimonos some parading with parasols. Arriving in Ceylon the businessman seems to have been involved with either rubber or coconut plantations. He appears to marry in Ceylon. There are also 13 vernacular shots of Colombo buildings and people including a lovely Sri Lankan woman and a Chinese street seller. There is a charming image of a young coolie asleep on the bottom rung of his rickshaw. A group of 4 photos show a large white ship from various angles includes one of the captain looking at native boats alongside by photographer Karl Lewis possibly related to the Great White Fleet. Then a group of personal family portraits and one of the Forth Bridge in Scotland.<br /> <br /> Lewis was an interesting photographer of the last century. Born in Kentucky in 1865 he started as a dock worker and eventually took to the sea living all over the world. He settled in Yokohama in 1901 had a common law wife and ran small photographic printing business issuing brochures postcards and covers that were sometimes hand colored. In 1905 his catalog advertised "take any photograph sketch or draw produce 100 elegantly colored postcards for $1.75 including shipping." Over the years he found sailors and the American Navy a popular subject possibly because of sales. His postcards & photographs have become very collectible. See great white fleet website.<br /> <br /> Photograph sizes vary 3 ¾ x 4 ¾"; c x 2 ¾"; 6 x 4 ¼";3 ¼ x 4 ¼"; 4 x 5 ¾"; 6 3/8 x 4 ¾".

‎Les Indes savantes, 2005, in-8 br. (17 x 24), 366 p., "Forum du Tiers Monde / Forum mondial des Alternatives", bon état.‎

‎Ouvrage international avec des contributions sur la Chine, le Sri Lanka, l’Inde, les Philippines, l’Afrique, le Brésil et la Pologne. La question de l’avenir des sociétés paysannes du Tiers Monde face à la mondialisation constitue le fond des problèmes abordés. Cet ouvrage collectif invite à repenser la "question agraire" à l’échelle mondiale, et son articulation avec les mutations du travail ouvrier. L’expropriation des masses paysannes au bénéfice des agriculteurs capitalistes, des latifundistes ou des transnationales de l’agrobusiness est un processus encore loin d’être achevé : cette menace pèse sur quelque trois milliards de petits paysans – rien moins que la moitié de l’humanité ! Paupérisation urbaine et pression à l’émigration sont les effets directs de la dévastation de ces mondes paysans. Comment imaginer un développement des pays concernés par le capitalisme, puisque ce dernier désintègre les structures agraires et contraint à l’exode rural, sans créer d’emplois autres que précaires ou informels, et encore en nombre insuffisant ?

‎Édition originale de la traduction française, il contient également des éléments relatifs à Sir Francis Drake, ainsi qu'à 'histoire de l'exploration espagnole et portugaise aux Indes. " Contient entre autres des cartes des Moluques, de Ceylan et de Java. La présente traduction est considérée comme plus importante que l’édition espagnole de 1609 en raison du grand nombre de données supplémentaires fournies par le traducteur "Écrit dans un style charmant (...) L'auteur a eu accès à tous les documents des archives. (...) Les éditions françaises contiennent beaucoup plus de matière que l'originale, car elles sont considérablement annotées. La plus grande partie du volume traite des Moluques et donne une grande partie de l'histoire ancienne de ces îles. Une place considérable est cependant consacrée aux Philippines (...)". (Robertson), le troisième tome est consacré aux conquêtes des hollandais dans la région. Translated into French from the original Spanish early edition about the conquest of what later became known as the Philippines. 3 frontispieces, 1 portrait and 30 (32) plates and maps. The book contains matter relating to Sir Francis Drake and American voyages, and to the history of Spanish and Portuguese exploration in the Indies." Contains i.a. maps of the Moluccas, Ceylon and Java. The present translation is considered more important than the Spanish edition of 1609 because of the large number of extra data supplied by the translator. "Written in a charming style (...) The author had access to all the documents of the archives. (...) The French editions contain much more matter than the original, as they are considerably annotated. The greater part of the volume treats of the Moluccas, and gives much of the early history of those islands. Considerable space is, however, devoted to the Phillipines (...)". (Robertson).‎
