EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the haunting beauty of a ruined rest-house in Nalanda, one of the many ancient cities that dot the landscape of Ceylon (now Sri Lanka). Taken by Henry W. Cave in 1896, this image is part of his renowned collection titled "Ruined Cities of Ceylon". The photograph transports us back to the 19th century, allowing us to witness the remnants of a once-thriving city now engulfed by nature's embrace. The decaying walls and crumbling architecture stand as silent witnesses to a forgotten era. Nestled amidst lush greenery and encroaching jungle, this rest-house was once a sanctuary for weary travelers seeking respite from their journeys. Now it stands as an eerie testament to time's relentless march. Cave's gravure printing technique adds depth and texture to the image, enhancing its atmospheric quality. The play between light and shadow creates an ethereal ambiance that draws us further into this lost world. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are reminded of the impermanence of civilizations and how nature reclaims what was once man-made. It serves as a poignant reminder that even great cities can be reduced to ruins over time. This piece invites contemplation on history, culture, and our place within them. It reminds us that beneath every ruin lies stories waiting to be discovered – tales whispered through centuries gone by.
