Victor Ambrus has selected some of the key 'Time Team' excavations
over the last three years to show how it has been possible to
reconstruct snapshots of the past. His evocative drawings cover
everyday life in the country and the towns, trade and industry,
warfare, crime and punishment, disease and death.
The paintings of Victor Ambrus are familiar to several generations.
He has illustrated over 300 books on classical and historical
subjects in his own instantly recognisable style. Over the years he
has amassed what amounts to a visual record of the entire history
of warfare, brought together here. With a concise text explaining
the background to each battle scene, Battlefield Panoramas is a joy
to browse through and will win a place on the shelves of all those
with an interest in conflict — or simply a love of illustration.
Beginning with the siege of Troy, the many scenes include
Caesar’s invasion of Britain; the Viking raid on Lindisfarne;
Hastings; Agincourt; the Battle of Sedgemoor; the Siege of Athlone;
the storming of the Bastille; Trafalgar; Waterloo; the
Franco-Prussian War; the BEF in the First World War; the Normandy
Landings; and the 1956 Hungarian uprising. The latter illustration
takes on a particular power and resonance when you know that Victor
was there.
This book tells the story of Somerset's archaeology and history,
from the earliest times up to the twentieth century. Generously
illustrated with drawings by the internationally renowned artist
Victor Ambrus, best known for his appearances on Channel 4's Time
Team, this graphic recreation of places and events offers a
visually exciting history of Somerset sure to be enjoyed by all who
know and love the county. The illustrations, many of which were
done on site and have never been published before, are accompanied
by photographs of locations and archaeological objects, bringing
Somerset's past to life.
Since 1994, when the first Time Team programme was broadcast,
archaeology has been brought to life for millions of people. This
book combines the talents of two of the programme's key players in
an exciting series of reconstructions. Victor Ambrus has produced
hundreds of sketches and drawings of archaeological sites and the
lives of those who would have inhabited them. For the first time
his drawings of individual excavations have been brought together
to provide a dramatic chronological survey of British History. Add
to this Mick Aston's lively explanations and photographs and you
have an archaeological collaboration which is guaranteed to
delight. Mick Aston has contributed a passion and enthusiasm for
archaeology which is infectious, so let Victor and Mick take you on
a visual journey through history...
