Defence Fortification Graphic Illustration Medieval Norman
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the enchanting Barnard Castle in Durham, circa 1100. Terry Ball's meticulous reconstruction drawing of the Inner Ward allows us a glimpse into the past, revealing the intricate details of this medieval fortress. The stone Gatehouse stands tall and proud, its imposing presence hinting at the defensive nature of this formidable structure. Surrounding it are timber buildings that once housed knights, soldiers, and perhaps even royalty. These structures were witnesses to countless stories of bravery and chivalry. The curtain walls enclose the castle with their solid construction, offering protection against any potential threats from afar. Each stone meticulously placed tells a tale of craftsmanship and resilience. Through this graphic illustration by Terry Ball, we can almost hear echoes from centuries ago - clanking armor, bustling markets within these very walls. It is as if time has stood still for just a moment so that we may appreciate the grandeur and historical significance of Barnard Castle. As we gaze upon this print, let our imaginations transport us to an era where knights roamed these grounds and lords strategized their defense against invaders. This image serves as a reminder that history lives on through artistry like Terry Ball's remarkable work – preserving our heritage for generations to come.
