EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the magnificent Portchester Castle in Hampshire, England. Captured by the talented artist CM Dixon, this image transports us back to the 20th century while highlighting the castle's rich history and architectural beauty. Originally a Roman fort, Portchester Castle was transformed into a medieval stronghold by Henry II between 1160 and 1172. Over time, it underwent further expansions under Edward II and Richard II. This formidable fortress played a crucial role in various campaigns to France led by England's kings. Notably, it served as the gathering point for Henry V's legendary Agincourt expedition. The photograph reveals the castle's impressive exterior facade against a backdrop of lush green lawns. The ruins of this ancient structure evoke a sense of awe and wonder as they stand proudly amidst their picturesque surroundings. Its strategic location near the coast adds to its allure as an important fortification throughout history. CM Dixon masterfully captures both the grandeur and decay of Portchester Castle through his lens, transporting viewers to another era. This remarkable image serves as a testament to England's rich heritage and reminds us of our connection to centuries past.
