EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Remains of the Wall of Severus, north of Hadrian's Wall" takes us back in time to the ancient Roman Empire. Created by an anonymous German School artist in the 19th century, this print showcases the historical significance and grandeur of a bygone era. The image depicts the remains of a defensive wall that once stood proudly in what is now Scotland. This structure, known as the Wall of Severus or Severan Wall, was built during the 2nd century AD as part of Rome's conquest and defense strategy. Its purpose was to protect Roman Britain from potential invasions from northern tribes. The intricate details captured in this engraving allow us to marvel at the architectural prowess and engineering skills employed by ancient Romans. The ruins stand tall against a backdrop of rugged Scottish landscapes, symbolizing both strength and resilience. As we gaze upon this artwork, we are reminded not only of Britain's rich history but also its enduring cultural heritage. The remnants serve as a testament to past civilizations' determination to safeguard their territories while leaving behind indelible imprints on British soil. Through this digitally cleaned image courtesy of Look and Learn, we can appreciate how art transcends time itself – transporting us into different epochs where stories unfold through stone structures like these walls. Let it be a reminder that our present is shaped by those who came before us – their triumphs and struggles etched into every brick and stone they left behind.
