EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the border post IC048 / 028 along Hadrian's Wall. The reconstruction line drawing beautifully depicts a scene of a traveller and his horse being assessed by Roman soldiers on the southern side of Knag Burn Gateway. This particular gateway holds significance as it was one of the rare entrances through Hadrian's Wall that was not connected to a milecastle or fort. The attention to detail in Philip Corke's illustration transports us into this historical moment, where we witness the interaction between the traveller and the vigilant Roman soldiers. The soldier's shields and weapons are prominently displayed, showcasing their military prowess and preparedness for any potential threat. The presence of people within this graphic adds depth and realism to the scene, allowing us to imagine what life would have been like during this era. It is evident that Corke has expertly captured both the architectural elements of Knag Burn Gateway and the essence of Roman military culture. As we admire this remarkable artwork, let us appreciate how it offers a glimpse into our past, reminding us of ancient civilizations' ingenuity in constructing such monumental structures like Hadrian's Wall. Philip Corke skillfully brings history alive through his artistry, leaving an indelible impression on anyone fortunate enough to view this extraordinary piece.
