EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the majestic Chatburn Church, located near Clitheroe in Lancashire. The engraving, created by an English School artist in the 19th century, transports us back to a time when this architectural marvel stood as a symbol of faith and community. The image captures a moment of both awe and danger as lightning strikes the church's spire. This dramatic event highlights the intersection between meteorology and science, reminding us of the power and unpredictability of nature. Meteorologists would have been fascinated by such occurrences, using scientific methods to study climate patterns and understand atmospheric phenomena like forked lightning. The composition beautifully juxtaposes the serenity of the church against the raw force of nature. It serves as a reminder that even places of worship are not immune to natural forces beyond our control. This engraving was originally featured in The Illustrated London News on May 13th, 1854, adding historical significance to its artistic value. As we gaze upon this print from Bridgeman Images' collection, we are transported back in time to witness this extraordinary moment frozen forever on paper. It invites contemplation about our place within nature's grand design while appreciating both human craftsmanship and scientific exploration.
