EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Ruined Cities of Ceylon: Moonstone and Steps" takes us back in time to the enchanting history of Sri Lanka. Captured by Henry W. Cave, a renowned photographer from the late 19th century, this image showcases the remnants of an ancient city hidden within a lush jungle. The focal point of the photograph is a mesmerizing moonstone, intricately carved with delicate patterns that have stood the test of time. The steps leading up to it add an air of mystery and intrigue, inviting us to imagine who may have walked these very paths centuries ago. Ceylon, as Sri Lanka was known at that time, holds countless secrets within its ruined cities. This image transports us to Anuradhapura, one such city steeped in history and cultural significance. It serves as a reminder of the rich heritage that once flourished on this island nation. Henry W. Cave's skillful gravure printing technique brings out every detail in this photograph, allowing us to appreciate both its artistic beauty and historical importance. As we gaze upon this stunning piece from our private collection, we are transported back to a bygone era where Asian civilizations thrived amidst nature's embrace. Let this print serve as a window into the past—a visual testament to the enduring allure of Sri Lanka's ruined cities and their timeless stories waiting to be discovered anew.
