EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the remains of the Roman Wall near the Museum of London, providing a glimpse into the ancient history of this bustling city. Taken in the 20th century by artist CM Dixon, this image showcases a significant piece of London's past. The Roman Wall was originally constructed as a defensive barrier around Londinium, an important port town situated on the banks of the River Thames. Built during either the late 2nd or early 3rd century, it served as a testament to Rome's power and influence over this strategic location. The photograph reveals intricate stonework made from ragstone, showcasing remarkable craftsmanship that has withstood centuries of wear and tear. The remnants stand tall against England's skyline, reminding us of their historical significance. As we gaze upon this snapshot from another time, we are transported back to an era when defense played a crucial role in shaping cities and countries. The concept behind such walls is brought to life through this image - protecting territories while symbolizing strength and resilience. CM Dixon expertly captured not only these physical remains but also evoked emotions tied to our collective heritage. This photograph serves as a valuable reminder that even amidst modernity, echoes from our past continue to shape our present-day understanding and appreciation for history.
