"From Ancient Times to Modern Necessity: The Story of Firewood" Step back in time to witness the burning of Cranmer in 1556, a pivotal moment captured in c1850. Behold the symmetrically stacked pile of logs, meticulously prepared as firewood for warmth and sustenance. An illustration featuring an axe with a wooden handle reminds us of the laborious process behind obtaining this precious resource. Travel to the picturesque Swabian Alb in Baden Wurttemberg, Germany, where a woodpile stands amidst a vibrant flower meadow. This scene depicts the harmonious coexistence between nature's beauty and mankind's need for firewood. Dorking Church emerges from 1767-1816 through a watercolor masterpiece, showcasing how firewood played an integral role in providing warmth within sacred spaces. James William Edmund Doyle's artwork transports us to Alfred's humble abode within the neatherds cottage circa 878 (1864). Here we witness how firewood was essential for survival during harsh winters. Observe young boys navigating rivers with their boat full of tree branches - evidence that even children understood the importance of gathering firewood for their families' comfort and well-being. The conquest of fire is vividly portrayed through an illustration from L'Homme Primitif. It serves as a reminder that mastering fire-making techniques using carefully collected firewood was crucial for early human civilizations' progress. Color lithographs from Sketches of the British Army depict soldiers chopping wood, highlighting its significance not only as fuel but also as a strategic resource during military campaigns throughout history. David Bates takes us on an enchanting journey to Church Stretton's Long Mynd landscape in 1907. Amidst this breathtaking scenery lies evidence of humans collecting and utilizing firewood - proof that it has been ingrained into our daily lives since time immemorial.
