EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the charming village of Corbridge, nestled in the picturesque region of Northumberland, England. With its rich history and idyllic setting, Corbridge is a true gem situated just west of bustling Newcastle and only four miles east of Hexham. The Roman influence on this ancient settlement is evident as it was known to them as either Corstopitum or Coriosopitum. Fascinating wooden writing tablets discovered at Vindolanda suggest that locals may have referred to it as Coria, meaning a tribal center. As the most northerly town in the Roman Empire, Corbridge holds immense historical significance. It lies at the junction where Stanegate and Dere Street meet, serving as a vital hub during those times. This beautifully engraved image captures the essence of 19th-century Victorian charm with its vintage appeal and illustrative technique. Transporting us back in time, this retro-styled artwork evokes nostalgia for an era long gone by while celebrating the cultural heritage of this remarkable village. The intricate details preserved in this 19th-century engraving offer a glimpse into life during that period. With its quaint streets and timeless architecture, Corbridge continues to captivate visitors from all around the world today. This print serves as a testament to its enduring beauty and reminds us of our connection to history through artistry and storytelling.
