EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white portrait photograph, taken by Paul D. Stewart, transports us back to the year 1855 when Joseph Prestwich made a significant contribution to the fields of archaeology and geology. The image captures Prestwich himself, a renowned British geologist, in an introspective pose against a backdrop that hints at his groundbreaking discoveries. Prestwich's work on stratigraphy and stone tools revolutionized our understanding of human prehistory. His research shed light on ancient civilizations and their use of flint implements such as hand axes and bifaces. In this photo print, we see not only the man behind these remarkable findings but also glimpses of artifacts from Kents Cavern - evidence of early humans' existence alongside extinct creatures like mammoths and woolly rhinos. As we delve into this monochromatic masterpiece, we are reminded of the immense antiquity of humankind. From Neanderthals to Homo heidelbergensis, each figure represents a chapter in our shared history. The inclusion of a falconer adds an intriguing layer to this narrative; perhaps it symbolizes humanity's connection with nature or signifies Prestwich's fascination with avian species. In essence, this photograph serves as both an artistic tribute to Joseph Prestwich's contributions and an invitation for us to explore our own origins through the lens of science. It encapsulates the spirit of discovery that drives archaeological endeavors while honoring those who have paved the way for our understanding today
