EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back in time to the enchanting ruins of Ruanweli Dagaba, located in the ancient city of Anuradhapura, Ceylon (now Sri Lanka). The image captures the essence of a bygone era, showcasing the rich history and architectural marvels that once stood tall amidst lush jungles. Taken by Henry W. Cave in 1896 for his book "The Ruined Cities of Ceylon" this photograph exemplifies his dedication to preserving and sharing the beauty of these forgotten cities. The intricate details of Ruanweli Dagaba are brought to life through this gravure printed masterpiece. As we gaze upon this image, we can almost hear echoes from centuries past whispering tales of grandeur and spirituality. The towering dagaba stands as a testament to the skill and craftsmanship of ancient Sri Lankan architects. Its weathered facade tells stories of battles fought, empires risen and fallen, while nature reclaims its territory with sprawling greenery surrounding it. This print not only offers a glimpse into an important chapter in Asian history but also serves as a reminder that even great civilizations can succumb to time's relentless march. It invites us to reflect on our own impermanence while appreciating the enduring legacy left behind by those who came before us. Incorporating this stunning piece into any collection or space would undoubtedly spark curiosity and ignite conversations about cultural heritage, preservation efforts, and humanity's connection with its past
