EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the medieval era, offering an inside view of the formidable Town Wall of Newcastle upon Tyne. Built between the 13th and 14th centuries as a defense against invading Scots, this architectural marvel stands tall and proud even in its ruined state. The unknown creator skillfully captures the essence of this historic landmark. The image showcases a picturesque scene near St. Andrews Church, nestled between Newgate and Westgate. A tower, now serving as the Meeting House of the Company of Paviors, dominates the foreground with its grandeur. The lush greenery surrounding it adds a touch of serenity to this otherwise defensive structure. Intriguingly, amidst this historical backdrop, we catch sight of two men engrossed in conversation. Their presence adds depth to our understanding of how life must have unfolded within these walls during that period. As we delve deeper into this enchanting print, our eyes are drawn towards a grazing donkey nearby—a gentle reminder that nature has always found its place alongside human endeavors throughout history. With every detail meticulously engraved and colored by hand, this antique piece transports us back to 18th-century Britain—allowing us to witness firsthand the rich heritage embedded within Newcastle upon Tyne's city walls.
