One section of the Sri Lankan fair stand was devoted to photography, and all photographers exhibiting contributed to the book: Cane (author of Golden Tips ), Skeen, A.W. Andree & Co, and A. W. A. Plate & Co., as well as Andree & Sligh Ltd, the latter being responsible for the colour printing of the binding. The company applied the then pioneering three-colour printing technique to be used soon afterwards in A. & C. Black colour books. Of course the main focus of this volume is tea production and export; however, all other aspects of Sri Lanka are described and illustrated, from ethnography and society, infrastructure and agriculture, commerce, art and natural history, with some impressive scenes of elephants working, being washed and in the wild.
