EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an aerial view reconstruction drawing of the magnificent Old Sarum in Wiltshire. Created by Peter Dunn, a skilled artist from the English Heritage Graphics Team, this artwork beautifully captures the essence of this historic site. The focus lies on the gatehouse, which stands tall and proud amidst its surroundings. The intricate details depicted in this image take us back to 1140 when Old Sarum was at its prime. A cutaway of the hall and courtyard palace reveals a glimpse into the opulence that once graced these ancient walls. It is as if we are transported through time, witnessing firsthand how life unfolded within these hallowed grounds. The tower dominates the scene with its imposing presence, reminding us of Norman architecture's grandeur and strength. The motte rises majestically from beneath it, serving as a reminder of past battles fought and won. What truly sets this photograph apart is its unique perspective - an aerial view that allows us to appreciate not only the architectural marvels but also provides insight into the surrounding earthworks that shaped Old Sarum's landscape. Preserved by Historic England Photo Library, this remarkable piece offers more than just visual appeal; it serves as a testament to our rich heritage and invites us to delve deeper into history's embrace.
