EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the ruined cities of Ceylon, specifically the West End of Southern Altar at Abhayagiriya Dagaba. The image, captured by Henry W. Cave in 1896, showcases the historical significance and architectural beauty of this ancient site. The photograph transports us to a bygone era, where we can almost feel the weight of history surrounding us. The ruins stand tall amidst a dense jungle backdrop, reminding us of the passage of time and nature's reclamation over man-made structures. As we gaze upon this image, we are reminded of Ceylon's rich history and its once-thriving cities that have now fallen into decay. The intricate details on these ruins speak volumes about the craftsmanship and ingenuity of their creators. The West End of Southern Altar at Abhayagiriya Dagaba is a testament to human resilience and creativity throughout centuries past. It serves as a reminder that even great civilizations can crumble under various circumstances. This photograph not only captures an important piece of Sri Lankan history but also invites us to reflect on our own impermanence. It encourages us to appreciate the fleeting nature of life while marveling at the enduring legacy left behind by those who came before us. Intriguingly beautiful yet hauntingly melancholic, this print offers a glimpse into a world long gone but forever etched in our collective memory.
