EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Archaeological Discoveries at Fountains Abbey" takes us back to the 19th century, showcasing a momentous find in English history. The engraving, created by an anonymous English School artist, captures the essence of this significant archaeological discovery. The image transports us to Fountains Abbey, where excavations have unveiled a treasure trove of ancient artifacts. Street scenes come alive as we witness the uncovering of long-lost monuments and sculptures that once adorned this holy place. Among these remarkable finds is a depiction of a female martyr saint, her presence evoking both reverence and curiosity. London Bridge stands tall in the background, serving as a reminder of how far-reaching these discoveries are. The archaeologists' meticulous work reveals vessels and shields that shed light on Yorkshire's rich past. A particularly intriguing artifact discovered is the holy water stoup from Fountains Abbey itself – a symbol of spiritual devotion. Notably, this engraving was featured in The Illustrated London News in June 1854, capturing public fascination with archaeology during this era. It serves as an invaluable record for historians and enthusiasts alike. Bridgeman Images has preserved this historical gem within their private collection. Through their efforts, we can now appreciate the significance of these archaeological findings and marvel at our ancestors' ingenuity and craftsmanship.
