EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the mesmerizing ruins of Jetawanarama, a city in Ceylon (now Sri Lanka) from the south-west perspective. Taken by Henry W. Cave in 1896, this photograph is part of his renowned collection titled "Ruined Cities of Ceylon". The image showcases the remarkable remnants of a once-thriving civilization that flourished during the nineteenth century. The city's ancient structures stand tall amidst lush greenery and dense jungle vegetation, creating an awe-inspiring contrast between nature and human history. Jetawanarama was one of the prominent cities in Ceylon known for its architectural marvels. This photograph offers a glimpse into its grandeur before time took its toll on these magnificent structures. The intricate details and craftsmanship are still visible despite years of decay. Cave's work not only documents historical sites but also serves as a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Sri Lanka. His photographs provide valuable insights into the past, allowing us to appreciate and understand our shared history. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back to a time when bustling streets echoed with life and vibrant communities thrived within these now silent ruins. It reminds us that even in their ruined state, these cities hold stories waiting to be discovered by those who seek to unravel their mysteries.
