EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back in time to the ruined cities of Ceylon, specifically Kuttam-Pokuna. Taken by Henry W. Cave in 1896, this image is part of his renowned collection featured in the book "The Ruined Cities of Ceylon". The photograph showcases the mesmerizing beauty and historical significance of this ancient city. Kuttam-Pokuna, nestled amidst a dense jungle in Anuradhapura, Sri Lanka, stands as a testament to the rich history and architectural marvels of the region. The ruins depicted here evoke a sense of mystery and wonder as we contemplate what life might have been like during its heyday. The intricate details captured by Cave's lens highlight the craftsmanship that went into constructing these structures centuries ago. As we gaze upon these remains, it becomes evident that they were once thriving centers bustling with activity. This print not only serves as a visual delight but also offers us an opportunity to delve into the past and appreciate the cultural heritage left behind by our ancestors. It reminds us that even though time may have taken its toll on these cities, their legacy continues to inspire awe and admiration. As we admire this piece from Bridgeman Images' private collection, let us reflect on how history shapes our present and fuels our curiosity about civilizations long gone.
