EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the awe-inspiring sight of massed banners in King Henry VII's Chapel, located within Westminster Abbey. The image showcases the historic significance of this place, as it served as a gathering spot for the Knights of the Bath. These knights were esteemed individuals who had been honored by King Henry VII himself. The lady chapel is adorned with these vibrant banners, each representing a knight and their noble lineage. The flags flutter gracefully against the backdrop of stunning stained glass windows, creating an atmosphere that exudes both grandeur and reverence. Taken by an English photographer in the 20th century, this photograph offers us a glimpse into London's rich history and architectural marvels. It serves as an illustration for "Wonderful London" by St John Adcock, published around 1930. As we admire this image, we are transported back to a time when England was steeped in Christian traditions and monarchs held great power. This visual testament to British heritage reminds us of the deep-rooted connection between religion, art, and history. With its intricate details captured through gravure printing techniques, this photograph becomes more than just a snapshot; it becomes a piece of art itself. Its monochromatic tones add depth and evoke nostalgia for a bygone era. Preserved in private collections today but made accessible through Fine Art Finder courtesy of Bridgeman Images, this print invites us to explore not only England's past but also our own fascination with centuries-old monuments that continue to inspire awe even today.
