EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Ruined Cities of Ceylon: Entrance to the Thuparama at Polonnaruwa" takes us on a journey through time and history. The image, captured by Henry W. Cave in 1896, transports us to the enchanting city of Polonnaruwa in Sri Lanka. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing scene, we are immediately drawn to the majestic entrance of Thuparama, an ancient Buddhist temple that stands as a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Ceylon (now known as Sri Lanka). The intricate architectural details and weathered stone walls evoke a sense of mystery and awe. Surrounded by lush jungle foliage, this photograph reminds us of the passage of time and how nature reclaims what was once man-made. It serves as a poignant reminder that civilizations rise and fall, leaving behind remnants that tell stories from centuries past. The monochrome palette adds depth and texture to the image, enhancing its timeless quality. We can almost imagine ourselves walking through these ruins, feeling both humbled by their grandeur and intrigued by their secrets. Through this photograph, we are transported back to the 19th century when explorers like Henry W. Cave ventured into uncharted territories with their cameras in hand. It is a visual window into another era - one filled with discovery, wonderment, and an appreciation for the beauty found within ruined cities like Polonnaruwa.
