EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a moment in time at the ancient and well-preserved Chester City Walls in Cheshire, England. The medieval walls, which date primarily from the 13th century, are the most complete in the country, showcasing the rich history and heritage of this fascinating city. In this image, a flight of 18th-century steps can be seen leading down from the wall towards the River Dee. The steps provide a glimpse into the past, as they have likely been used by countless visitors over the centuries to explore the riverfront and enjoy the picturesque views of the city and its surroundings. The walls themselves have undergone much repair over the centuries, but they remain an enduring testament to the craftsmanship and engineering prowess of the people who built them. The photograph, taken by the renowned English photographer Eric de Mare (active 1945-80), captures the beauty and timeless quality of this historic site, inviting us to imagine the stories and secrets that lie within its walls.
