EDITORS COMMENTS
This sepia drawing from 1841 captures the magnificent Leigh Church and its monumental tribute to Sir John Aston. The artwork, created by George Buckler, measures 25.4x17.8 cm and is housed in The William Salt Library in Stafford, UK. The focal point of the drawing is the impressive monument located in the South Transept of Leigh Church, situated in Staffordshire. Erected in honor of Sir John Aston and his wife in 1523, this alabaster tomb chest showcases intricate crochetted arch-work that adds a touch of elegance to its design. The effigies depicted on the monument are particularly striking; they stand side by side as if frozen in time. Sir John Aston appears clad in armor while resting his feet upon a majestic lion—an emblematic symbol of strength and power. Buckler's attention to detail brings life to this historical scene captured within the confines of paper and ink. Every line meticulously drawn transports viewers back centuries ago when such monuments were not only symbols of remembrance but also testaments to artistic craftsmanship. As we gaze upon this print today, we can appreciate both the architectural beauty showcased within Leigh Church and Buckler's skillful rendering that immortalizes it for generations to come.
