EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment frozen in time, taking us back to the late 19th century. Titled "Crouched Burial in Round Tumulus on Dunstable Downs, 1887" this artwork by Worthington G Smith transports us to a burial site from prehistoric times. The image depicts a solemn scene of a crouched burial within a round tumulus, evoking both curiosity and reverence. The artist's meticulous attention to detail is evident in every stroke of wash and ink used to create this piece. The colors chosen bring life to the otherwise somber subject matter, adding depth and emotion. As we gaze upon this historic print, we are reminded of the fragility of life and the timeless nature of death. The presence of women and children near the burial chamber adds another layer of intrigue, hinting at their significance within ancient societies. This concept becomes even more fascinating when considering that this artwork was created during the mid-20th century by Jacquetta Hawkes for her publication "Early Britain". Hawkes' work aimed to shed light on our ancestors' lives through archaeological discoveries like those depicted here. As we reflect on this remarkable piece, it serves as a reminder that history continues to shape our present and future. It prompts us to appreciate our heritage while igniting our imagination about what stories lie buried beneath these ancient grounds.
