This print showcases the remarkable reconstruction drawing by Alan Sorrell, depicting Harrows Scar in Cumbria. The image takes us back to a time when this location played a crucial role in Roman defense and military strategy. Harrow's Scar, nestled within the breathtaking landscapes of Cumbria, stands as a testament to the ingenuity and strength of ancient fortifications. This graphic illustration transports us to an era where Roman soldiers meticulously planned their defenses along Hadrian's Wall. Alan Sorrell's meticulous attention to detail brings this historical site back to life. Every stroke of his pen captures the essence of what once stood proudly on these grounds - a formidable stronghold protecting the empire from potential invaders. The reconstructed scene reveals towering stone walls adorned with watchtowers that stretched across the rugged terrain, providing an imposing barrier against any threat approaching from beyond. It is awe-inspiring how such engineering marvels were crafted centuries ago without modern technology.

We become witnesses to history unfolding before our eyes; we can almost hear echoes of marching footsteps and feel the tension that once filled these hallowed grounds. This print serves as a visual reminder that behind every historic site lies stories waiting to be discovered and shared with future generations.

In conclusion, Alan Sorrell's reconstruction drawing offers us a glimpse into Harrow's Scar at its prime - an enduring symbol of Roman might and strategic brilliance amidst Cumbria's stunning landscape.
