| Abstract: |
The collection comprises views of
structures and sculptures in Sri Lanka from the sites of Anuradhapura and Polonnaruwa. The
twelve photographs of Anuradhapura are by Charles Thomas Scowen. The photographs of
Polonnaruwa were likely all taken by Joseph Lawton. The photographs were taken shortly after
the rediscovery of these important Buddhist monuments, but before official excavations were
begun by the Archaeological Department of Ceylon in the 1890s.
