EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the magnificent Walmer Castle, with its rich history and grandeur. The engraving, created by Melton Prior in 1892 for The Illustrated London News, transports us back to a time of ceremonial installations and historic significance. The image captures the imposing fortifications of Walmer Castle, standing proudly on the Kent coast. Its ramparts rise majestically against the backdrop of a clear blue sky. Within these walls lies a fortress steeped in tradition and power. In the foreground, we see a reading chair and stand-up writing desk, symbolizing intellectual pursuits within this formidable structure. These objects hint at moments when important decisions were made by influential figures who once occupied this space. The New Lord Warden himself is depicted here - Marquis of Dufferin - embodying authority and nobility as he assumes his role within the Cinque Ports. His presence adds an air of ceremony to this scene. Cannons dotting the rampart remind us that Walmer Castle was not just a residence but also served as a strategic defense point throughout history. Bredenstone and Ava are mentioned in association with this image, perhaps alluding to their connection or relevance to Walmer Castle's story. Overall, this print offers us an intriguing glimpse into both the architectural beauty and historical importance of Walmer Castle – an iconic landmark that has stood witness to centuries of change along England's southern shores.
