EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1935, capturing a breathtaking view of Offas Dyke crossing a hilltop in Denbighshire, Wales. The image showcases the immense scale of this ancient linear earthwork that stretches along the border between England and Wales. Believed to have been ordered by Offa, the Anglo-Saxon king of Mercia during his reign from 757 to 796 AD, this historic monument stands as a testament to centuries past. The monochrome aesthetic adds an air of mystery and timelessness to the scene. As we gaze at this archaeological site frozen in time, we can't help but marvel at its significance in Anglo-Saxon history. This photograph was featured in "A History of the Anglo-Saxons" by R. H. Hodgkin, published by The Clarendon Press in Oxford. The landscape surrounding Offas Dyke is beautifully captured here; nature seems untouched and serene against this man-made structure that has withstood the test of time for over twelve centuries. It serves as a reminder of our ancestors' ingenuity and their ability to shape their environment. As we delve into this historical moment through photography, we are transported back not only to Denbighshire in the thirties but also deep into our shared heritage – connecting us with those who came before us and reminding us of our place within history's tapestry.
