EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the Stone Age, specifically to Rodding, Denmark in 1913. The image showcases a remarkable Stone Age tumulus, also known as a barrow, which is an ancient mound of earth and stones raised over graves. These tumuli were significant burial sites during the Neolithic period. The photograph reveals two chambers within the tumulus where our ancestors laid their loved ones to rest thousands of years ago. It offers a glimpse into the prehistoric world and reminds us of our connection to those who came before us. John Lubbock, 1st Baron Avebury, an eminent archaeologist and author of "Prehistoric Times" captured this momentous discovery. His engraving masterfully conveys the concept of death and burial in early human societies. As we study this print today, it serves as a testament to the importance of archeology in unraveling our past. It sparks curiosity about how these ancient civilizations lived and honored their dead. Through monochrome tones that add depth and mystery to the scene, this image by John Lubbock invites us on a journey through time. It reminds us that even though centuries have passed since its creation, there are still countless stories waiting to be unearthed from beneath these sacred mounds.
