EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving takes us back in time to the bustling kitchen of St Briavels Castle in 19th century England. The image showcases a fascinating scene filled with intriguing details that transport us into the heart of old England. In the foreground, we see a large wheel being turned by a diligent turnspit dog, an essential helper in the kitchen during those times. This loyal canine tirelessly works to rotate the spit over an open fire, ensuring that the food is evenly cooked and delicious. The dedication and loyalty of this furry companion are truly remarkable. The kitchen itself is a hive of activity, with cooks busily preparing meals for inhabitants and guests alike. Pots and pans hang from hooks on the walls, while various utensils are scattered across wooden tables. The atmosphere is alive with warmth and energy as aromas fill every corner. Beyond the kitchen's boundaries lies St Briavels Castle, nestled within Gloucestershire's enchanting Forest of Dean. Its fortified ramparts stand tall against nature's embrace, showcasing its historical significance as both a fortress and stronghold. This engraving was originally created as an illustration for The Illustrated London News in May 1849—a testament to its enduring appeal throughout history. As we gaze upon this print today, it serves as a window into another era—inviting us to appreciate not only the artistry but also glimpse into daily life centuries ago.
