EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Remains of the Wall of Severus" takes us back in time to ancient history. The engraving, created by an English School artist in the 19th century, showcases the remnants of the famous wall built by Emperor Septimius Severus. The image reveals a rugged landscape with rolling hills, serving as a natural defense for Scotland. These hilly terrains were once home to the Picts, an ancient people who inhabited Great Britain during this period. The wall itself acted as a border between Roman-controlled territory and the wild lands beyond. The intricate details captured in this engraving transport us to a time when imperial power reigned over Europe. It reminds us of the vastness and strength of the Roman Empire, which extended its influence far and wide. As we gaze upon these ruins today, we can't help but feel a sense of awe at their sheer magnitude and historical significance. The black and white tones add an air of antiquity to this already mesmerizing scene. This print is not just a beautiful piece of art; it is also a testament to our human desire for protection and preservation throughout history. It serves as a reminder that even great empires eventually crumble, leaving behind only fragments for future generations to marvel at.
