EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of history within the walls of the Medieval Merchants House in Southampton, Hampshire. Dating back to the 13th century, this town house stands as a testament to an era long gone but not forgotten. The exterior close-up reveals intricate details that transport us back in time. One cannot help but be drawn to the fascinating sight of a barrel hanging from a timber beam, suspended like a relic from another age. This unique feature speaks volumes about the bustling trade and commerce that once thrived within these very walls. It serves as a reminder of how merchants would have stored their precious goods and provisions during those medieval times. The window, with its aged wooden frame and delicate leaded glass panes, adds further charm to this architectural gem. Through it, one can only imagine glimpses into daily life centuries ago – perhaps catching sight of merchants haggling over prices or townsfolk going about their business on cobbled streets. Photographer Paul Highnam has expertly captured both the grandeur and intimacy of this historic building. His keen eye for detail allows us to appreciate every nuance - from weathered timber beams to worn stone walls - transporting us effortlessly into Southampton's rich past. This print is more than just an image; it is an invitation to step back in time and immerse oneself in the stories held within these ancient walls.
