EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and captivating color print showcases "The Gibbet Cross, Hindhead, Surrey" a remarkable monument nestled amidst the picturesque hills of England. The image was captured by an English photographer in the 20th century and is now part of a private collection. The Gibbet Cross stands tall against the backdrop of the serene countryside, its Celtic design evoking a sense of ancient mystique. This postcard from the early 20th century serves as a poignant memorial to an era long gone. Its presence reminds us of historical events and tales that have shaped this region's identity. Perched atop Gibbet Hill, this cross holds significance beyond its aesthetic appeal. It marks the site where gibbets once stood – grim reminders of justice served during darker times. The nearby Devil's Punch Bowl adds an air of mystery to this already enchanting landscape. Renowned author Charles Dickens immortalized these surroundings in his novel "Nicholas Nickleby". As we gaze upon this photograph, we can almost imagine ourselves stepping into Dickens' world, exploring these hilly terrains alongside his characters. With meticulous attention to detail, Bridgeman Images has expertly preserved this moment in time for all to admire. Through their lens, we are transported back to Hindhead's past—a testament to both the artistry behind photography and our enduring fascination with history.
