EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in the late 19th century, showcases a significant archaeological find - a Flint Hand Axe, estimated to be around 400,000 years old. Discovered in 1859, this ancient artifact was unearthed during a geological expedition led by Sir Joseph Prestwich and Dr. John Wyllie, with the assistance of geologist Clive Forbes Gamble and Rob Kruszynski. The hand axe, made primarily of chert, is a testament to the advanced tool-making capabilities of early Homo sapiens or Hominini, members of the human family tree. The image, shot in a studio setting against a grey and black background, provides a clear and detailed view of the hand axe's intricate side profile. The photograph's Victorian-era origins are evident in the crisp, formal composition and the use of a large-format camera. The hand axe, with its sharp edges and symmetrical design, stands out against the plain backdrop, its historical significance underscored by the context provided in the photograph's title. The discovery of this ancient tool has played a crucial role in the field of anthropology and archaeology, shedding light on the early development of human technology and our ancestors' adaptation to their environment. This photograph serves as a powerful reminder of the rich history that lies beneath our feet and the importance of preserving and studying our past.
