EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage print captures the essence of a bygone era in Ashopton, Derbyshire, UK. Once a small village nestled in the picturesque vale of the River Ashop, its history and charm are now immortalized through this engraved image. Dating back to the 19th century, this illustrative technique showcases the rich cultural heritage and arts of that time. However, Ashopton's fate took an unfortunate turn in the early 1940s when it was demolished along with its neighboring village Derwent. The purpose behind this demolition was to make way for the filling of Ladybower Reservoir, forever altering the landscape and erasing these quaint Victorian-era settlements from existence. As we gaze upon this retro-styled engraving, we can't help but feel a sense of nostalgia for a lost world. It serves as a reminder of how progress sometimes comes at a cost; in this case, sacrificing historical villages steeped in centuries-old stories. Through Arkheia's meticulous restoration work on this 19th-century engraving, we are transported back to Ashopton's past - capturing its idyllic beauty before it vanished beneath the waters. This piece invites us to reflect on our relationship with nature and preservation while appreciating the intricate details and craftsmanship that defined artistic endeavors during that era
