EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable reconstruction line drawing of a second-century Roman stonemason diligently at work, inscribing a tablet. The image is based on the actual tablet set into the wall of Coesike Turret along Hadrian's Wall. Crafted by the talented artist Philip Corke between 1985 and 2000, this illustration beautifully captures the essence of ancient Roman craftsmanship. Intriguingly, this depiction provides us with an intimate glimpse into the world of these skilled artisans. Dressed in authentic Roman attire, the stonemason can be seen meticulously carving intricate designs onto a stone tablet using his trusty tools. His focused expression and precise movements highlight both his dedication to his craft and the importance placed on written communication during that era. The attention to detail in this artwork is truly commendable; every stroke brings life to each chisel mark and every fold in the mason's clothing. Through Corke's masterful technique, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand how these tablets were created centuries ago. This print serves as a testament not only to Philip Corke's artistic prowess but also to our shared cultural heritage. It reminds us of the incredible architectural achievements left behind by our ancestors and invites us to appreciate their ingenuity and skill.
