EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the late Bronze Age, allowing us a glimpse into the vibrant village life of Grimspound on Dartmoor, Devon. The reconstruction drawing by Ivan Lapper beautifully depicts this well-known prehistoric settlement and its inhabitants. As we immerse ourselves in the image, we are transported to an era where farming was at the heart of daily existence. The scene showcases a rural community engaged in various activities associated with harvest season. Men and women can be seen tending to their fields, diligently working the land to ensure bountiful crops for sustenance. The graphic nature of Lapper's illustration brings forth intricate details that allow us to appreciate the craftsmanship and architecture prevalent during that time period. We witness circular stone huts dotting the landscape, forming a close-knit village where families resided together. Grimspound holds significant historical importance as one of many prehistoric settlements scattered across Dartmoor. It serves as a testament to our ancestors' ingenuity and resourcefulness in creating sustainable communities amidst challenging environments. Through this photo print, we are reminded of our connection to those who came before us and how they shaped our present-day society.
