EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1892, offering a glimpse into the ancient world of Kits Coty House in Kent, England. The remains of this Neolithic chambered long barrow stand proudly on Bluebell Hill near Aylesford, serving as a testament to the rich archaeological history of Britain. The image is an illustration from John Richard Green's renowned book "A Short History of the English People" which beautifully captures the essence of this prehistoric site. As we delve into its monochrome depths, we are transported to a time when death and burial held great significance for our ancestors. Kits Coty House stands as a mausoleum, an eternal resting place that echoes with stories from centuries past. Its megalithic structure evokes feelings of awe and wonder at the ingenuity and craftsmanship of those who came before us. In this photograph, we witness not only a physical location but also an exploration of concepts such as heritage and archaeology. It serves as a reminder that our present is built upon layers upon layers of history - each stone representing countless lives lived in this very spot. As we contemplate this image, let us appreciate the efforts made by archeologists and historians alike to preserve these remnants from antiquity.
