EDITORS COMMENTS
: Dover Castle Keep: A Glimpse into Medieval Luxury c. 1190 This evocative drawing by Terry Ball, a renowned graphic artist from Historic England, offers a captivating glimpse into the opulence of Dover Castle Keep during a royal visit around 1190. The intricately detailed image transports us back in time, allowing us to imagine the grandeur and splendor of the castle's interior. Dover Castle, located in Kent, England, is one of the most significant historical sites in the United Kingdom. Constructed in the late 11th century, the castle's keep is a testament to the architectural prowess and political power of the medieval period. This conjectural reconstruction, based on recent research, provides an insightful interpretation of the keep's interior decoration and furniture during a royal visit. The deep roofs, sunken within the building, are adorned with intricate carvings and richly colored tiles, reflecting the wealth and status of the monarch and his court. The large, ornate fireplace in the center of the room suggests the presence of a warm and inviting hearth, essential for providing comfort and warmth during the colder months. The furnishings, including the elaborately carved chairs and tables, are adorned with intricate patterns and designs, reflecting the artistic sensibilities of the time. The presence of tapestries and textiles, hanging from the walls and windows, adds an additional layer of luxury and sophistication to the scene. This image invites us to explore the rich history of Dover Castle and the medieval period, providing a window into a time of grandeur, luxury, and political power. The meticulous attention to detail and the depth of historical research that underpins this drawing serve as a testament to Terry Ball's skill and expertise as a graphic artist.
