EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the haunting beauty of Jetawanarama, one of the ruined cities in Ceylon (now Sri Lanka). Taken by Henry W. Cave in 1896, this photograph is a part of his book "The Ruined Cities of Ceylon" where he documented these historical sites with his own lens. Jetawanarama, seen here from the North, showcases the remnants of a once-thriving city that now lies abandoned amidst dense jungle vegetation. The image transports us back to the nineteenth century, allowing us to witness the grandeur and architectural marvels that have stood the test of time. The intricate details captured in this gravure printed photograph reveal both the scale and craftsmanship that went into constructing this ancient city. As we gaze upon its ruins, we can't help but be awestruck by its sheer magnitude and wonder about its former glory. This image serves as a window into history, reminding us of civilizations long gone and their enduring legacies. It invites us to contemplate how time has transformed these landscapes while also igniting our curiosity about what stories lie hidden within those crumbling walls. As we delve deeper into this visual narrative, it becomes evident why Cave's photographs continue to captivate audiences even over a century later. They offer not just an exploration of architectural wonders but also an invitation to reflect on our shared human heritage.
