EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures The Symbol of Saint Mark from the Lichfield Gospels, also known as the St. Chad Gospels, Book of Chad, the Gospels of St. Chad, the St Teilo Gospels, and the Llandeilo Gospels. Dating back to the 8th century, this intricate symbol is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of Anglo-Saxon England.
The detailed engraving showcases Saint Mark's symbol - a winged lion - which represents courage and strength. This powerful image is a reminder of the enduring legacy of Christianity in medieval Britain.
Published in 1926 as part of "Everyday Life in Anglo-Saxon, Viking and Norman Times," this photograph transports us back in time to an era filled with religious devotion and artistic expression. The black-and-white aesthetic adds a sense of nostalgia to this historical piece.
As we gaze upon this symbol from centuries past, we are reminded of the importance of preserving our cultural heritage for future generations. Through art and literature like the Lichfield Gospels, we can gain insight into our shared history and appreciate the creativity and craftsmanship of those who came before us.
Thanks to photographer Ken Welsh's skillful capture, we can now admire this ancient symbol in all its glory for years to come.
