EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of history and tradition with its depiction of a Chained Bible and Fox's Chair. The image, taken by an English photographer in the 19th century, showcases these iconic symbols of Quakerism in a Friends Meeting House in the Lake District.
The Chained Bible, a symbol of religious devotion and reverence, is prominently displayed next to Fox's Chair, which holds great significance as the seat used by George Fox, founder of the Religious Society of Friends. The simplicity and solemnity of the scene evoke a sense of peace and contemplation.
As part of Views in Lakeland published by H.W. Mackereth around 1900, this photograph offers a glimpse into the spiritual heritage and cultural richness of England. The stark contrast between light and shadow enhances the timeless quality of this historical moment captured on film.
The setting within the Lake District adds to the mystique surrounding this image, as it is known for its natural beauty and tranquil landscapes. This photograph serves as a reminder not only of faith but also of history preserved through artistry.
Overall, this striking print invites viewers to reflect on tradition, spirituality, and legacy while appreciating the artistic skill that went into capturing such a poignant moment in time.
