EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the year 122 AD, where we witness a remarkable reconstruction line drawing of soldiers diligently working together to build a turret on Hadrian's Wall. The artist, Philip Corke, skillfully captures the essence of this Roman construction project with his graphic and detailed illustration. The image showcases the sheer dedication and hard work put forth by these ancient Roman workers. Each figure is meticulously depicted, showcasing their tools and equipment as they laboriously construct the turret along the wall. Their focused expressions reveal their commitment to completing this monumental task. Hadrian's Wall stands as an enduring symbol of Roman engineering prowess and strategic military planning. This particular section of Willowford East Turret (48a) serves as inspiration for Corke's artwork, which beautifully brings history to life through his meticulous attention to detail. As we gaze upon this print, we are transported back in time; we can almost feel the weight of each stone being carefully placed by these dedicated soldiers. It is a testament not only to their craftsmanship but also to their unwavering determination in creating something that would stand strong for centuries. Philip Corke's incredible talent allows us to appreciate both the historical significance and architectural brilliance behind Hadrian's Wall. Through his artistry, he invites us into a world long gone but forever preserved within this powerful image.
