Domesday Rebound - A Glimpse into History's Pages
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This photograph captures a significant piece of history, the Domesday book, rebound in 1870. The Domesday book was originally written on the orders of William I in 1086 as a comprehensive survey of land and wealth across England. Now, beautifully preserved within its new cover, this print transports us back to an era long gone. The square format emphasizes the timeless nature of this historical artifact. Its aged appearance hints at centuries worth of stories contained within its pages. As we gaze upon it, we can't help but wonder about the countless lives that have been shaped by the information inscribed within. Displayed in a simple box with identification numbers - 126044 and 3578 - this image reminds us that even monumental works like the Domesday book are just objects subject to cataloging and preservation efforts. The origination details - "64525 h boo manu domesday" - offer further insight into its historical significance. It is fascinating to think about how much effort went into creating such an extensive record during a time when resources were scarce. As we admire this photograph from Hulton Archive, let us appreciate not only its aesthetic value but also recognize it as a testament to human curiosity and our desire to document our past for future generations.
