EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back in time to the ruined cities of Ceylon, now known as Sri Lanka. The image showcases the intricate details of a Moonstone, Guardstones, and Steps that once adorned these ancient cities. Taken by Henry W. Cave in 1896 for his book "The Ruined Cities of Ceylon" this photograph captures the essence of history and mystery that surrounds these forgotten civilizations. The moonstone, with its delicate carvings depicting mythical creatures and symbols, stands as a testament to the artistic prowess of its creators. Guardstones flank either side of the steps leading up to what was once a bustling city center. These stone guardians evoke a sense of protection and grandeur that must have been felt by those who passed through them centuries ago. As we gaze upon this image, we are reminded of the passage of time and how nature reclaims what man has built. The ruins stand amidst lush jungle foliage, their weathered stones telling stories only whispered by history. This print is not just a visual representation but also an invitation to explore the rich heritage and cultural significance held within these ancient ruins. It serves as a reminder that even in decay there is beauty worth preserving for generations to come.
