EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the remarkable Walls of the Roman port of Richborough, dating back to the 1st century. Located in Kent, England, these ancient ruins stand as a testament to the once-thriving trade and bustling activity that took place within its walls. The image captures the essence of a bygone era, where civilization flourished and commerce thrived. The color photograph beautifully highlights every intricate detail of these historic walls, evoking a sense of awe and wonder. As one gazes upon this snapshot frozen in time, it is impossible not to marvel at the ingenuity and craftsmanship displayed by our Roman ancestors. The location itself holds immense historical significance; near Sandwich lies Rutupiae – an important port during Roman times. These walls served as both protection for incoming ships and as a symbol of power for those who controlled this strategic trading hub. Photographer CM Dixon skillfully captured this scene with precision and artistry. Through his lens, we are transported back centuries ago when these now-ruined walls were vibrant with life. This print serves as a reminder that even in ruinous states, remnants from our past can still captivate us today. It encourages us to appreciate our rich heritage while igniting curiosity about civilizations long gone.
