EDITORS COMMENTS
Lanyon Quoit, captured by CM Dixon in the 20th century, showcases a remarkable piece of Neolithic history nestled in the picturesque landscape of Cornwall. This print transports us back to a time when ancient civilizations erected monumental structures as tombs and mausoleums. The dolmen itself is an awe-inspiring sight, standing proudly despite its tumultuous past. Originally built during prehistoric times, it tragically collapsed during a fierce storm in 1815. However, thanks to the dedication and determination of those who recognized its significance, Lanyon Quoit was painstakingly reconstructed nine years later. This photograph beautifully captures the balance between nature's tranquility and mankind's enduring legacy. The color palette chosen by CM Dixon adds depth and vibrancy to this historical gem. As we gaze upon this image, we are reminded of our connection to the past and how it shapes our present understanding. Lanyon Quoit serves as both a portal grave for those laid to rest within its stone walls and as a testament to human ingenuity throughout centuries gone by. It stands tall against the backdrop of England's rugged countryside—a symbol of resilience that has withstood the test of time. As we appreciate this stunning artwork from CM Dixon (not affiliated with any company), let us reflect on our own mortality while celebrating the rich tapestry woven by those who came before us.
