EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Ruined Cities of Ceylon: En Route for Polonnaruwa" takes us on a journey back in time to the enchanting landscapes of 19th-century Sri Lanka. The image, captured by Henry W. Cave in 1896, showcases the mesmerizing remains of ancient cities amidst lush jungle surroundings. As we gaze upon this historical masterpiece, we are transported to an era where bustling cities thrived and flourished. The intricate details of the ruins tell stories of a rich and vibrant past that once echoed through these now silent streets. The photograph's monochromatic palette adds depth and mystery to the scene, emphasizing the contrast between nature's relentless reclamation and human ingenuity. It is as if time itself has stood still, allowing us a glimpse into a forgotten world frozen in time. En route for Polonnaruwa, we can almost hear whispers carried by gentle breezes from centuries ago. We imagine ourselves walking among these crumbling structures, marveling at their grandeur while contemplating the passage of time. This image serves as a poignant reminder that history is not confined to textbooks but lives on through tangible remnants like these ruins. It invites us to explore our own connection with the past and appreciate how it shapes our present reality. Through this remarkable work of art, we are reminded that even in decay there is beauty; even in ruin there is history waiting to be discovered.
