EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to Old Sarum, Wiltshire, where history comes alive through the meticulous reconstruction drawing of the castle gatehouse entrance to the inner bailey. Crafted by Peter Dunn and his talented team at English Heritage Graphics, this illustration transports us to the year 1140, immersing us in a world of medieval grandeur. The image showcases a magnificent bridge leading towards the imposing gatehouse, serving as both an architectural marvel and a symbol of defense. The stone structure stands tall against the backdrop of lush greenery, evoking a sense of awe and wonder at its sheer magnitude. Its strategic location atop a hill offers commanding views over the surrounding landscape - an ideal vantage point for military operations during that era. As we delve deeper into this visual masterpiece, our eyes are drawn to intricate details such as soldiers patrolling along battlements and an array of animals dotting the scene – horses tethered nearby awaiting their riders' return from battle. These elements bring life to what was once merely ruins on paper. Through this remarkable artwork captured by Historic England Photo Library, we are reminded not only of Old Sarum's historical significance but also of humanity's enduring fascination with fortifications and their role in shaping our past. This print serves as a window into another time – inviting us to explore and appreciate our rich heritage while igniting our imagination about those who walked these grounds centuries ago.
