EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the entrance to a passage grave, discovered in 1825 by Neolithic explorers. Located in Gavrinis, Brittany, France, this ancient burial chamber has an intriguing history that dates back centuries. The grave was initially opened in 1832 and later excavated between 1884 and 1886. However, it wasn't until the skilled hands of C. T. Le Roux meticulously restored the site from 1979 to 1984 that its true magnificence was revealed once again. Covered by a majestic granite cairn, this prehistoric structure stands as a testament to the ingenuity and craftsmanship of our ancestors. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back in time to an era long gone but not forgotten. The dry stone walls surrounding the entrance evoke a sense of mystery and reverence for those who were laid to rest within these hallowed grounds. The megalithic doorway with its imposing lintel serves as a portal into another world - one filled with secrets waiting to be unveiled. It is through images like these that we can connect with our past and gain insight into the lives of those who came before us. Let us marvel at the beauty and significance of this archaeological wonder while paying homage to those who have dedicated their lives to preserving our rich cultural heritage.
