EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the Bronze Age, offering a glimpse into the daily life of a family residing within a round house. Created by Peter Dunn, this cut-away reconstruction drawing beautifully showcases the intricate details of this ancient dwelling. With half of the structure removed, we are granted an extraordinary view into the interior. The round house stands as a testament to human ingenuity and resourcefulness during this era. Constructed with bronze age techniques, it is evident that every aspect was carefully considered for both functionality and aesthetics. The walls are made from locally sourced materials, expertly woven together to create a sturdy shelter against nature's elements. Inside, we witness an intimate scene unfolding before our eyes. A family gathers around their hearth, its warm glow illuminating their faces and casting dancing shadows on the walls. Their presence fills the space with love and warmth as they engage in various activities - perhaps preparing meals or sharing stories passed down through generations. Through this illustration, Peter Dunn invites us to reflect upon our shared history and appreciate how far humanity has come since these humble beginnings. It serves as a reminder that even thousands of years ago, families sought comfort and security within their homes just like we do today. As we admire this graphic representation of Bronze Age life, let us marvel at our ancestors' resilience while acknowledging Historic England's dedication in preserving such invaluable cultural heritage for future generations to cherish.
