EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "Dinner Time, outside the Refectory Door" takes us back in time to a monastery during the late 19th century. The artist, Frank W. W. Topham, masterfully captures a moment of communal dining and camaraderie among monks. The scene is set outside the refectory door, where a group of monks gather for their evening meal. They are depicted in various postures - some seated at long wooden tables covered with simple tablecloths, while others stand engaged in conversation or pouring beverages from large jugs. The atmosphere exudes tranquility as these men of faith come together to nourish both body and soul. One can almost imagine the aroma of hearty food wafting through the air as they enjoy their well-deserved respite from monastic duties. Topham's attention to detail is evident in every stroke of his engraving technique - from the intricate patterns on the walls to the expressions on each monk's face. It is clear that this artwork was created with great care and reverence for its subject matter. As we gaze upon this print, we are transported into another era - one where simplicity and devotion were paramount. It serves as a reminder of how shared meals have always been an integral part of human connection throughout history, regardless of religious beliefs or affiliations. This remarkable piece allows us to reflect on our own traditions surrounding food and fellowship while appreciating the timeless beauty captured by Topham over
