EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Ruined Cities of Ceylon: Modern Native Dwelling" takes us back in time to the enchanting history of Sri Lanka. The image, captured by Henry W. Cave in 1896, showcases a modern native dwelling amidst the remains of a once-thriving city. As we gaze at this mesmerizing scene, we are transported to the 19th century, where the ruins stand as silent witnesses to a bygone era. The lush jungle surrounds the dilapidated structures, adding an air of mystery and intrigue. It is as if nature has claimed these ancient walls for its own. The juxtaposition between the modern native dwelling and the crumbling architecture highlights both continuity and change over time. We can't help but wonder about the lives that were once lived within these walls and how they have evolved into what we see today. Sri Lankan history comes alive through this photograph, reminding us of the rich cultural heritage that exists within Asia's diverse tapestry. It serves as a poignant reminder that even in ruinous decay, there is beauty to be found. This evocative print from Henry W. Cave's collection offers us a glimpse into Ceylon's past while igniting our curiosity about its present-day reality. It stands as a testament to human resilience and adaptation throughout centuries gone by – an enduring legacy etched in stone amid vibrant greenery.
