EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the medieval era, specifically to the year 1934. It showcases a remarkable illustration titled "Raising the Drawbridge of the Castle" which provides an insightful glimpse into the architectural marvels of that time. The image depicts a castle's drawbridge in action, operated by a pivoted beam with a counterweight system. Additionally, we can observe the portcullis being raised and lowered through winding chains using a windlass. The intricate details captured in this print highlight both the engineering prowess and defensive strategies employed during this period. The cutaway view allows us to appreciate how these mechanisms worked together seamlessly for fortification purposes. This particular illustration was featured in Volume One of "The Romance of the Nation" edited by Charles Ray, published by The Amalgamated Press Ltd. , London. As we delve into history through this photograph, it is fascinating to imagine knights on horseback crossing over this very bridge or soldiers defending their stronghold within its walls. With its moat surrounding it as an added layer of protection, this castle stands as a testament to British heritage and architecture. Thanks to Heritage Images' preservation efforts, we are able to experience moments frozen in time like these – reminders of our rich past and technological advancements throughout centuries gone by.
