EDITORS COMMENTS
This aerial view reconstruction drawing by Peter Dunn, part of the English Heritage Graphics Team, takes us back in time to the enchanting Old Town in the Isles of Scilly during the 14th century. The intricate details and meticulous artistry transport us to a medieval coastal settlement that once thrived amidst breathtaking natural beauty. As we gaze upon this print, our eyes are drawn to the rugged coastline that stretches out into the vast sea. The waves crash against ancient cliffs, reminding us of both the power and tranquility of nature. We can almost feel the salty breeze on our faces as we imagine what life was like for those who called this place home centuries ago. The graphic depiction showcases a bustling town with narrow streets lined with timber-framed houses and charming cottages. It is evident that trade and commerce were integral parts of daily life here, as people go about their business along cobblestone paths. The attention to detail brings alive scenes of merchants selling their wares while children play in open spaces. Through this evocative image, we catch a glimpse into history - a snapshot frozen in time where past meets present. It serves as a reminder of how landscapes change over centuries yet retain an enduring charm that captivates generations across time. Peter Dunn's remarkable artwork allows us to appreciate not only Old Town's architectural heritage but also its deep connection with its coastal surroundings – an eternal bond between land and sea that continues to shape these beautiful Isles today.
