EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the ruined cities of Ceylon, specifically Galge, or Rock Chamber. The image was captured by Henry W. Cave, an adventurer and photographer who explored the region in 1896. The photograph showcases the remnants of a once-thriving city nestled amidst dense jungle foliage. Anuradhapura, one of Sri Lanka's ancient capitals, is known for its rich history and architectural wonders. In this particular shot, we see Galge, a rock chamber that stands as a testament to the grandeur that once graced these lands. The composition exudes an air of mystery and intrigue as sunlight filters through the overgrown vegetation onto weathered stone walls. It transports us to a time long gone when bustling streets echoed with life instead of silence. Cave's photographs were featured in his book "The Ruined Cities of Ceylon" published in 1904. This third edition offered readers a glimpse into the enchanting past of these forgotten cities through stunning gravure prints like this one. As we gaze upon this evocative image, we are reminded not only of Ceylon's historical significance but also its natural beauty intertwined with human ingenuity. It serves as a poignant reminder that even great civilizations can succumb to the passage of time and nature's relentless reclamation efforts.
