EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the Neolithic Age, offering a glimpse into the lives of Swiss Lake Dwellers. Illustrated by Alice Bolingbroke Woodward and featured in H. G. Wells' renowned book 'The Outline of History, ' this colour lithograph from 1920 transports us to an era long gone. In this scene, we witness a family of primitive humans residing in their humble abode, known as pile dwellings. The dwelling is perched above the tranquil waters of a Swiss lake, providing both protection and sustenance for its inhabitants. A wooden ladder connects their home to the ground below, allowing easy access between land and water. Nudity was commonplace during this period, as depicted by the figures within the illustration. The absence of clothing reflects their simplicity and closeness with nature. It symbolizes their harmonious existence within their environment. As we observe this snapshot from history, it becomes evident that these early humans were pioneers in evolution's grand tapestry. Their resourcefulness allowed them to adapt and thrive amidst challenging circumstances. Through Ken Welsh's expert reproduction of Woodward's artwork, we are reminded not only of our ancient ancestors but also how far humanity has progressed since then. This image serves as a powerful reminder that our roots lie deep within prehistoric times while highlighting our remarkable journey towards civilization.
