EDITORS COMMENTS
This sepia print, titled "Cromlech at Gwernvale, 1832" takes us on a journey back in time to the breathtaking landscapes of Brecknockshire. The artist, Pryce Carter Edwards, skillfully captures the essence of this prehistoric burial site nestled amidst majestic mountains and rolling countryside. In this scene, we are transported to an era long gone as we witness a flock of sheep grazing peacefully near the ancient standing stones. These megalithic structures stand tall and proud against the backdrop of rugged mountain peaks. Their presence evokes a sense of mystery and wonder, reminding us of the rich history that lies within these lands. The Cromlech itself is a testament to human ingenuity and craftsmanship from centuries past. Its imposing structure serves as both a tomb and monument, honoring those who came before us. As we gaze upon this image, we can't help but feel humbled by the enduring legacy left behind by our ancestors. The sepia wash adds an air of nostalgia to the print, enhancing its timeless appeal. It invites us to reflect on our connection with nature and our place in the grand tapestry of history. This remarkable piece from National Museum Wales is not just an artwork; it's a window into another world – one where sheep graze freely among ancient stones and mountains guard their secrets. Let yourself be transported back in time through this extraordinary glimpse into Welsh heritage captured by Pryce Carter Edwards' skilled hand.
