EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print of "Cilurnum" takes us back in time to the ancient Roman era. Created by Henry Burdon Richardson, this artwork beautifully captures the essence of Cilurnum, a fort located on Hadrian's Wall. The fort, now known as Chesters, stands proudly near the village of Walwick in Northumberland, England. Using gouache, pencil, and watercolor on paper, Richardson skillfully depicts the archaeological remains of Cilurnum with great attention to detail. The ruins are brought to life through his artistic interpretation and evoke a sense of romance and wonder. This image showcases the site's excavation work and offers a glimpse into an important part of British history.

It is a testament to human ingenuity and perseverance that these ruins still stand today.
