EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Under Piers of Hypocaust, Flue-Tiles, etc, belonging to the Roman Villa disinterred at Walesby" takes us on a journey back in time to ancient Britain. The image showcases the remarkable archaeological discoveries made at Walesby in Lincolnshire during the 19th century. The photograph captures the intricate details of an underground structure known as a hypocaust, which was used by the Romans for heating their villas. The piers supporting this fascinating system are clearly visible, along with flue tiles that directed hot air throughout the villa. These remnants provide valuable insights into Roman engineering and domestic life. The composition exudes a sense of mystery and wonder as we explore this hidden world beneath our feet. It is a testament to human ingenuity and serves as a reminder of our connection to history. As we gaze upon this print from Bridgeman Images' Private Collection, we are transported not only to Walesby but also to Great Britain's rich cultural heritage. This artwork invites us to appreciate British archaeology and its contribution to our understanding of European history. Let this image be a window into ancient times—a visual portal connecting past and present—allowing us to marvel at the achievements of those who came before us while sparking curiosity about what other secrets lie buried beneath our modern landscapes.
