EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Ruined Cities of Ceylon: Statues of King Dutthagamini and Three Buddhas" 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 civilization that once thrived in this mystical corner of Asia. The photograph transports us to a forgotten city, now consumed by nature's embrace. Amidst the overgrown jungle, we witness statues standing tall against the test of time. The central figure represents King Dutthagamini, a revered ruler from centuries past whose legacy still echoes through these ruins. Surrounding him are three Buddha statues, their serene expressions offering solace amidst the crumbling surroundings. These sculptures serve as poignant reminders of Sri Lanka's rich Buddhist heritage and its profound impact on its people. As we gaze upon this evocative scene, we cannot help but feel a sense of awe at the resilience displayed by these structures against years of decay and neglect. They stand as silent witnesses to a glorious era long gone yet continue to inspire wonder and admiration. Through this monochromatic lens, we are transported back in time to witness history unfold before our eyes. This photograph is not just an artistic masterpiece; it is also an invitation for us to delve into the fascinating story behind these ruined cities and discover the secrets they hold within their weathered walls.
