Scope and Content Christmas card designed by Brian Hope-Taylor Brian Hope-Taylor designed his own cards for special occasions and this is an example of one of his Christmas cards. A man dressed as Santa Claus can be seen excavating a burial mound with a sack full, not of toys, but archaeological artefacts. As a child Brian Hope-Taylor pursued an interest in acting and modelling, later studying wood-engraving with George Mackley. He combined field archaeology with work as a commercial artist, and is described as being 'distinguished both as an archaeologist and an artist'. Brian Hope-Taylor (1923-2001) was a remarkable archaeologist who did much to raise the standards of excavation and archaeological illustration in Britain. He pioneered excavation techniques on timber buildings and was especially noted for his work on Anglo-Saxon and early medieval sites in Scotland and England. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
