EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the summer of 1858, capturing the enigmatic Chun Cromlech in all its ancient glory. Nestled on open moorland between Pendeen and Morvah in Cornwall, this megalithic tomb stands as a testament to our prehistoric ancestors' architectural prowess. The photographer, Dr John Wheeley Gough Gutch, skillfully frames the scene, allowing us to marvel at the imposing standing stones that form this remarkable dolmen. The sheer size and weight of these Neolithic monuments evoke a sense of awe and wonder as we contemplate how they were transported and erected with such precision thousands of years ago. As we gaze upon this image, it's impossible not to be transported back through time. We can almost hear whispers from an ancient past echoing across the windswept moorland. The Chun Cromlech becomes more than just a collection of stones; it represents a connection to our distant ancestors who once inhabited these lands. This print serves as a reminder that history is not confined within museum walls but lives on in the landscapes around us. It invites us to explore Cornwall's rich heritage firsthand and immerse ourselves in its mystical allure. Let this image inspire you to embark on your own journey through time - where legends intertwine with reality amidst rugged cliffs and rolling hills - uncovering hidden stories etched into every stone along the way.
