A. W. Plate
& Co. was one of Ceylon's [Sri Lanka's] most successful early photographic
firms. It survives to this day. Founded in 1890 by an apothecary in Colombo,
the firm quickly grew into a premier publisher of books, catalogs and,
in the early part of the century, of color postcards. Plate's "Art
" postcards remain nearly unrivaled as examples of superior color
printing and artistry. |
