Talk on the “Aerial Atlas of Ancient Britain” – by David Abram
October 24, 2022 @ 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm
Talk on the “Aerial Atlas of Ancient Britain” – by DAVID ABRAM – Photographer
Monday Oct 24th
7.30pm
Come to Lustleigh Village Hall for an evening of inspirational images from author and photographer, David R Abram.
David has spent the past five years capturing views of Britain’s most extraordinary prehistoric sites from above in rare, sunrise light using drones and telescopic poles. Whether Neolithic tombs in Orkney, Bronze Age ceremonial sites in Snowdonia or the enigmatic stone monuments erected by our ancestors on Dartmoor, his images reveal forms invisible at ground level, and intriguing connections between the monuments and their varied landscapes.
Lively and rich with archaeological insight, David’s talk will cherry pick highlights from his new book, the Aerial Atlas of Ancient Britain (just published by Thames & Hudson, with a Foreword by Professor Alice Roberts), which charts the arc of British prehistory from the end of the Ice Age to the arrival of the Romans.
This is a rare opportunity to see his most acclaimed work projected at scale – an experience that is sure to inspire visits to prehistoric sites in the area you already know, and many you don’t! If you were lucky enough to catch his recent exhibition at Salisbury Museum, you’ll know what a treat we are in for.
Signed copies of the Aerial Atlas of Ancient Britain will be on sale at talk.
7.30pm (doors open at 7pm)
Tickets will be on sale at the door, but may be booked in advance via Eventbrite:
