EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Ruined Cities of Ceylon: Kekirawa" takes us on a journey through time to the enchanting landscapes of 19th century Sri Lanka. Captured by Henry W. Cave, an explorer and photographer, this image showcases the haunting beauty of Kekirawa, one of the many ancient cities that lay in ruins amidst dense jungle. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are transported back to a bygone era where history intertwines with nature's relentless reclamation. The crumbling remains of once majestic structures stand as silent witnesses to centuries past. Each weathered stone tells a story of grandeur and decay, inviting us to ponder the lives lived within these walls. Cave's masterful use of photography enhances the ethereal quality of this scene. The absence of color allows our imagination to fill in the missing details, creating a sense of mystery and intrigue. Through this evocative image, we are reminded not only of Sri Lanka's rich historical heritage but also its enduring connection with nature. It serves as a poignant reminder that even civilizations can be swallowed by time if left unattended. This remarkable print is part of Cave's seminal work "The Ruined Cities Of Ceylon" which beautifully captures the essence and allure behind these forgotten cities. A true testament to both artistic vision and archaeological exploration, it offers us a glimpse into a world long gone yet forever preserved through photographs like these.
