EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the ruined city of Thuparama at Polonnaruwa in Ceylon (now Sri Lanka). The image, captured by Henry W. Cave in 1896, showcases the haunting beauty of this ancient site. The photograph transports us to a different era, allowing us to witness the remnants of a once-thriving civilization. The crumbling structures stand as silent witnesses to centuries gone by, their weathered walls telling stories of grandeur and decay. Nature has reclaimed much of what was once a bustling city, with lush greenery now enveloping the ruins. The dense jungle surrounding Thuparama adds an air of mystery and intrigue to the scene. As we gaze upon this image, we are reminded of the rich history that lies within these ruins. They serve as reminders of past glory and remind us that even great civilizations can fall into obscurity over time. Henry W. Cave's gravure printing technique brings out every intricate detail in this photograph, capturing not only the physical remains but also evoking an emotional connection with those who view it. This print is a testament to both the skillful artistry behind its creation and the enduring allure of ancient cities like Thuparama at Polonnaruwa. It serves as a window into another world - one filled with wonder, curiosity, and reverence for our shared human history.
