EDITORS COMMENTS
In this copperplate engraving by John Thomas Smith, we are transported back in time to the ancient British kingdom of Trinovantum, later known as Caer Lud or Lud's Town, around 66 AD. The image depicts British King Lud and his sons, Angrogeus and Theomantius (or Temantius), engaged in the repair of the walls of their prosperous city. King Lud, a legendary monarch, is shown wearing a regal robe and crown, while his sons work diligently on the fortifications. The intricate details of the engraving reveal the cobblestone streets, the remnants of a grand house or palace, and the imposing walls of the town, all of which speak to the wealth and importance of this ancient settlement. This image is based on original drawings by members of the Society of Antiquaries, a prestigious organization dedicated to the study and preservation of history and archaeology. The engraving is taken from J.T. Smith's "Antiquities of London and its Environs," published in 1795 by J. Sewell, R. Folder, and J. Simco in London. The ruins of Winchester House and Southwark Palace, both of which are believed to have been part of the ancient British settlement, may have served as inspiration for this depiction of King Lud and his sons. This engraving offers a fascinating glimpse into the rich history and architectural heritage of ancient Britain, providing a captivating connection to the past.
