EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1814, capturing a monumental pillar near Wooler in Northumberland. The artist behind this masterpiece is none other than John Greig, who skillfully portrays the rustic beauty of this architectural marvel. Standing tall against the backdrop of a serene countryside landscape, the pillar exudes an air of grandeur and history. Intriguingly, we see a group of people surrounding the monument - men and boys alike. One man points towards its intricately carved facade, perhaps sharing stories or discussing its significance with his companions. Their presence adds life to this monochrome scene, showcasing rural life in 19th century England. The image originates from "The Border Antiquities of England and Scotland". Volume II by Walter Scott himself – a publication that delves into the rich historical heritage shared between these two nations. This engraving serves as a testament to Sir Walter Scott's dedication to preserving and celebrating borderland antiquities. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece captured by John Greig's skilled hand, we are transported back in time to witness not only an awe-inspiring architectural wonder but also glimpse into rural Northumberland life during that era. It is through such prints that our connection with history remains alive and vibrant for generations to come.
