EDITORS COMMENTS
This aerial photograph captures the timeless beauty of Belas Knap, a Neolithic chambered long barrow nestled in the idyllic countryside of Winchcombe, Gloucestershire. Taken by renowned photographer Jim Hancock in 1971, this print showcases the remarkable craftsmanship and ingenuity of our ancient ancestors. Belas Knap stands as a testament to human history, an earthwork that has withstood the test of time for over 5,000 years. Its mysterious chambers and intricate design continue to intrigue archaeologists and visitors alike. As you gaze upon this image, you can almost feel the weight of history pressing down on these ancient stones. The composition is truly breathtaking; from above, we are granted a unique perspective on this archaeological wonder. The carefully constructed chambers within the long barrow are clearly visible against the lush green landscape surrounding it. The precision with which these structures were built is awe-inspiring - evidence of a sophisticated society that existed millennia ago. Jim Hancock's expert eye has beautifully captured not only the physical structure but also its harmonious integration into nature's tapestry. This print serves as both a visual feast for art enthusiasts and an educational tool for those seeking to delve deeper into Britain's rich cultural heritage. As we contemplate this remarkable photograph, let us marvel at how far humanity has come while paying homage to those who came before us - their legacy etched forever in stone at Belas Knap.
