EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us to the enchanting ruins of Ceylon, specifically the Abhayagiriya Dagaba. The image showcases a beautifully carved stele amidst the lush jungle surroundings of Anuradhapura, Sri Lanka. The photograph is part of Henry W. Cave's renowned work, "The Ruined Cities of Ceylon" where he documented his exploration through stunning photographs taken in 1896. This particular print is from the third edition published by Hutchinson in 1904. The intricate details on the stele are awe-inspiring, showcasing the skilled craftsmanship of ancient Sri Lankan artisans. It serves as a testament to the rich history and cultural heritage that once thrived within these now-ruined cities. As we gaze upon this image, we can't help but marvel at how time has transformed these once bustling cities into mystical remnants hidden within nature's embrace. The stillness and serenity captured in this photograph evoke a sense of wonderment and curiosity about what stories lie beneath those weathered stones. Through this photo print, we are transported back to the nineteenth century when Ceylon was known for its grandeur and splendor. It reminds us that even in ruin, there is beauty to be found – an enduring reminder of our shared human history.
