EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the magnificent Carreg Cennen Castle, perched on a limestone precipice in the breathtaking Brecon Beacons of Carmarthenshire, Wales. Dating back to 1870, this image captures the castle's ruins that have stood since 1462 when it was transformed into a Lancastrian stronghold during the Wars of the Roses. The Yorkist force later captured and demolished it. The picture is taken from "Picturesque Europe - The British Isles, Vol. II" published by Cassell, Petter & Galpin in London during the late 19th century. It offers a glimpse into an era long gone, depicting not only historical fortifications but also elements of daily life such as agriculture and farming practices. In this scene, we see a lone cowherd leading his cattle through the picturesque landscape surrounding Carreg Cennen Castle. The rugged hillsides and mountain ranges provide a stunning backdrop for this historic site nestled within Brecon Beacons National Park. The print evokes a sense of nostalgia for simpler times while highlighting both natural beauty and man-made marvels. It serves as a reminder of our rich heritage and invites us to explore history through visual storytelling. This remarkable image is part of Heritage Images' collection curated by The Print Collector/Heritage Images—a testament to their dedication to preserving our past for future generations to appreciate and learn from.
