EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the 16th century, where we witness an intense scene at Birdoswald Fort in Cumbria. The reconstruction drawing by Philip Corke skillfully depicts a group of reivers raiding this ancient stronghold. These notorious borderland raiders, known for their daring and audacity, have descended upon Birdoswald with one goal in mind - to seize control. The image showcases the chaos and mayhem that ensues during this tumultuous event. With Tudor-era architecture as the backdrop, we see these fearless reivers on horseback charging through the fort's gates. Their determination is palpable as they navigate through a flurry of activity - men shouting orders, horses galloping wildly, and livestock scattering in every direction. The graphic nature of this illustration adds depth and realism to the scene. Every detail has been meticulously captured; from the expressions on people's faces to the intricate armor worn by both attackers and defenders alike. It serves as a vivid reminder of how life was lived during those turbulent times along Hadrian's Wall. This historical snapshot also sheds light on the importance of animals in warfare during that era. Horses play a crucial role here, serving as loyal companions to these marauding reivers who relied heavily on their speed and agility for successful raids. Overall, this print from Historic England Photo Library offers viewers an immersive glimpse into a dramatic moment in history – when reivers raided Birdoswald Fort centuries ago – leaving
