EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the 19th century, offering a glimpse into the ancient Roman town of Uriconium. The image showcases the extensive excavations that were carried out in 1898, revealing the remarkable remains of this once-thriving settlement. Uriconium, also known as Viroconium Cornoviorum, was one of Britain's largest Roman settlements during its time. Located in present-day Wroxeter, Shropshire, England, it stood as a testament to the grandeur and sophistication of Roman architecture and urban planning. The photograph captures an exterior view of the ruins with its towering walls still standing proudly against time's relentless passage. It provides a fascinating insight into what life might have been like within these ancient walls centuries ago. With its intricate details and sharp contrasts between light and shadow, this engraving from "Our Own Country" transports us back to an era long gone. It serves as both a historical document and a work of art that allows us to appreciate the beauty found within archaeological sites. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing vista preserved through photography, we are reminded of our connection to history and our innate curiosity about those who came before us. This print is not just an image; it is a portal inviting us to explore the rich tapestry woven by civilizations past.
