EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Ross Mortimer transports us to the heart of Great Yarmouth, Norfolk, where history comes alive within the walls of the Old Merchants House. The image showcases an exquisite interior display that offers a glimpse into the life of a merchant from yesteryears. At its center stands a meticulously crafted mannequin, depicting a distinguished merchant engrossed in his work at an ornate table. Every detail is meticulously captured - from the intricate folds of his attire to the fine lines etched on his face, revealing years of wisdom and experience. One can almost imagine him immersed in deep thought as he navigates through stacks of papers and accounts. The setting exudes an air of opulence and sophistication with its richly adorned furnishings and elegant decor. Sunlight streams through tall windows, casting warm hues upon antique books stacked neatly on shelves nearby. The room seems frozen in time, preserving not only the physical artifacts but also the spirit and essence of this bygone era. Through this photograph, we are reminded of how important it is to preserve our heritage for future generations to appreciate. It serves as a poignant reminder that these row houses hold stories waiting to be discovered; tales that connect us to our past and shape our understanding of who we are today. Ross Mortimer's skillful lens has immortalized this moment in time, allowing us all to marvel at the beauty found within Great Yarmouth's historic treasures.
