EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the entrance to a passage grave, discovered in 1825, located in Gavrinis, Brittany, France. The image showcases the remarkable architecture of this prehistoric burial chamber, which was opened in 1832 and later excavated by C. T. Le Roux between 1884 and 1886. In an effort to preserve its historical significance, the site was meticulously restored from 1979 to 1984. The photograph highlights the imposing granite cairn that covers the tomb's entrance, creating an air of mystery and intrigue. The dry stone construction adds to its ancient allure as it stands as a testament to Neolithic craftsmanship. The doorway itself is adorned with a lintel that hints at the artistic prowess of our ancestors. This archaeological site serves as a time capsule, offering us glimpses into our distant past and providing valuable insights into early human civilizations. As we gaze upon this image captured by Bridgeman Images, we are transported back thousands of years when these megalithic structures held great cultural significance for their communities. It reminds us of our shared history and ignites curiosity about those who came before us. This print not only celebrates the beauty of this archaeological wonder but also invites contemplation on humanity's enduring quest for understanding our origins and honoring those who came before us.
