EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Ancient Briton in his Boat" takes us back in time to the shores of Great Britain centuries ago. The image showcases an English School's depiction of an ancient Briton navigating the waters in a traditional coracle, a small round boat made from animal hides or woven branches. The figure portrayed is adorned with long hair and body painting, representing the cultural practices of ancient Britons. The use of woad, a blue dye extracted from plants, was common among these indigenous people. It adds vibrant hues to this historical scene. Transportation by boats played a vital role for ancient Britons, enabling them to fish and travel across waterways efficiently. This image offers a glimpse into their daily lives and highlights their reliance on fishing as an essential industry for sustenance. Printed in colors by Kronheim and professionally re-touched, this illustration captures the attention to detail that brings history alive. Published in George Routledge & Sons' book "Pictures of English History" it serves as both educational material and artistic representation. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from Look and Learn's private collection, we are reminded of the rich heritage embedded within Great Britain's past. It symbolizes not only British culture but also Europe's diverse history before the formation of modern nations like the United Kingdom. Bridgeman Images presents us with yet another masterpiece that transports us through time while celebrating our shared human experience.
