EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Ruined Cities of Ceylon: Remains in Process of Excavation" takes us on a journey through time to the enchanting land of Sri Lanka. The image, captured by Henry W. Cave in 1896, showcases the remnants of an ancient city being unearthed from the depths of the lush jungle. As we gaze upon this historical snapshot, we are transported back to the nineteenth century, where centuries-old ruins stand as silent witnesses to a glorious past. The photograph exudes a sense of mystery and intrigue as it captures the delicate balance between nature's reclamation and mankind's quest for knowledge. The cityscape is filled with architectural marvels that have long been swallowed by nature's embrace. Each crumbling structure tells its own story, whispering tales of grandeur and resilience against time's relentless march forward. Anuradhapura, one of Sri Lanka's most significant historical sites, comes alive before our eyes as layers upon layers are carefully peeled away during excavation. This evocative image not only serves as a visual feast for history enthusiasts but also reminds us of our responsibility to preserve and protect these precious relics from oblivion. It invites us to delve into the rich tapestry woven by civilizations that once thrived in this mystical corner of Asia. With every glance at this mesmerizing print, we are reminded that beneath nature's cloak lies hidden treasures waiting patiently to be discovered – secrets yearning to be unveiled so they may continue weaving
