EDITORS COMMENTS
This aerial photograph captures the historical significance and natural beauty of Roundway Down in Wiltshire, England. The image showcases a remarkable sight - the site of the Battle of Roundway Down in 1643, where a decisive clash took place during the English Civil War. This location holds immense historical importance as it witnessed intense fighting between Royalist and Parliamentarian forces. In addition to its rich history, this print also highlights a unique feature that adds to the charm of Roundway Down - a magnificent white horse. Created by local residents in 1999 to commemorate the new millennium, this white horse stands as an enduring symbol of community spirit and pride. What sets it apart from other similar figures is its distinctive orientation; unlike most others that face left, this one faces right. The aerial perspective allows us to appreciate both the grandeur of Roundway Down itself and the intricate details of this hill figure. The undulating landscape surrounding the battlefield creates a picturesque backdrop for reflection on past events while simultaneously inviting visitors to explore nature's wonders. Damian Grady's skillful photography beautifully encapsulates all these elements - history, artistry, and natural splendor - making this print an exquisite piece worthy of admiration for anyone with an appreciation for British heritage and breathtaking landscapes.
