EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Norham Castle, 1876" takes us back in time to the 12th century. The print showcases the magnificent Norham Castle, a medieval fortress located on the banks of the River Tweed. The artist behind this masterpiece is David Hall McKewan (1816-73), while A. Willmore skillfully engraved it. The image portrays Norham Castle as a formidable stronghold standing proudly amidst its surroundings. Its strategic position near the border between England and Scotland made it a significant site during times of conflict and war. In 1513, James IV successfully captured Norham Castle during his campaign. The ruins depicted in this print evoke a sense of history and resilience. Despite enduring sieges and battles throughout its existence, Norham Castle still stands as an enduring symbol of strength. This artwork offers viewers a glimpse into the past, allowing them to appreciate both the architectural beauty of this ancient fortification and its historical significance within Northumberland's border country. As we gaze upon this engraving, we can't help but marvel at how time has weathered these stone walls yet preserved their grandeur. With its attention to detail and evocative atmosphere, "Norham Castle" transports us back centuries ago when castles like these were not only symbols of power but also witnesses to dramatic events that shaped our shared history.
