EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the enchanting Isles of Scilly, where history and mystery intertwine. The image showcases a meticulous reconstruction drawing by Peter Dunn, part of the esteemed English Heritage Graphics Team. It unveils an awe-inspiring Romano-British shrine at Nornour prehistoric site, dating all the way back to 200 AD. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork, we are transported into a world steeped in ancient Roman culture and religious practices. The intricate details meticulously captured by Dunn bring this long-lost shrine back to life before our very eyes. Nestled within house number 1 on these mystical isles, it stands as a testament to the enduring power of faith and devotion. The composition exudes an air of tranquility and reverence as if inviting us to step inside this sacred space ourselves. Every line and stroke expertly portrays the architectural grandeur that once graced Nornour's landscape centuries ago. We can almost imagine worshippers gathering here, seeking solace or offering prayers to their deities. Through this evocative photograph print from Historic England Photo Library, we are granted a glimpse into a forgotten era when religion played an integral role in shaping society's beliefs and values. It serves as a poignant reminder of our shared human heritage and invites contemplation about how ancient traditions continue to influence our lives today.
