EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by James O. Davies transports us to the mystical Merrivale Prehistoric Settlement in Dartmoor, Devon. Against an overcast sky, a stone row avenue stretches out before our eyes, revealing a glimpse into the ancient past of this rural and dark moorland landscape. The image exudes an air of mystery and intrigue as we are transported back in time to when these prehistoric structures were first erected. The stones stand tall and proud, defying the passage of centuries with their enduring presence. As we gaze upon them, we can't help but wonder about the people who once inhabited this land and what their lives might have been like. The cloudy backdrop adds a touch of drama to the scene, enhancing its ethereal quality. It's as if nature itself is paying homage to these ancient remnants by enveloping them in its misty embrace. James O. Davies has masterfully captured not only the physical beauty of this historic site but also its intangible essence – a testament to his skill as a photographer. Through his lens, he invites us on a journey through time and space, allowing us to connect with our ancestors and gain a deeper appreciation for our shared human history. This print from Historic England serves as both a visual delight and an invitation for contemplation – reminding us that even amidst modernity, traces of our past continue to shape our present-day existence.
