Gezicht op militaire barakken c. 1890 - 1910

This photographic work by Henry William Cave, dating from c. 1890-1910, depicts a scene from the military barracks in Colombo, Ceylon (now Sri Lanka). The photograph, which measures 125 mm in height and 188 mm in width, showcases the architectural grandeur of the barracks, likely a key site for British military presence in the region during the colonial era. Cave's work offers a glimpse into the physical manifestations of British imperial power in Ceylon and provides valuable insight into the colonial history of the island nation.
