EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Ruined Cities of Ceylon: Sigiri" takes us on a journey through time to the enchanting city of Sigiri in Sri Lanka. The image, captured by Henry W. Cave in 1896, showcases the mesmerizing remains of this once-thriving metropolis. The photograph transports us to a forgotten era, where the lush jungle has claimed its territory over crumbling structures and ancient architecture. As we gaze upon these ruins, we can't help but imagine the vibrant life that once filled these streets centuries ago. Sigiri stands as a testament to the rich history and cultural heritage of Sri Lanka. Its intricate details and grandeur hint at an advanced civilization that flourished during the nineteenth century. This snapshot offers a glimpse into a world long gone, inviting us to explore its mysteries and unravel its stories. Henry W. Cave's masterful gravure printing technique adds depth and texture to this evocative image, enhancing our connection with this lost city. Through his lens, he captures not only physical remnants but also an intangible sense of nostalgia for what was once alive. As we admire this remarkable piece from Henry W. Cave's collection "The Ruined Cities of Ceylon" it serves as a reminder that even in decay lies beauty worth preserving and cherishing for generations to come.
