EDITORS COMMENTS
Step through time into the charming French town of Vézelay with this stunning photograph print from renowned photographer Albany E. Howarth. Taken in 1915, 'The Doorway' captures the essence of this historic hill town's Romanesque abbey and Basilica of St Mary Magdalene.
In crisp black and white tones, the intricately carved doorway stands out against a serene backdrop of stone walls and Gothic archways. The symmetrical design is a testament to the region's rich heritage in architecture and craftsmanship. Note the delicate etchings on either side of the doorframe, adding an air of mystery to this already enchanting scene.
Vézelay has long been celebrated for its stunning Romanesque abbey, but it was also here that St Mary Magdalene's Basilica rose from humble beginnings in the 12th century. This photograph print is a poignant reminder of the region's rich cultural and religious heritage, frozen in time by Howarth's masterful lens.
Hang this beautiful piece on your wall to transport yourself back to Vézelay at its most charming - an era when stone carvings told stories of faith and devotion.
