EDITORS COMMENTS
This sepia and ink tracing print showcases the remarkable Tomb of Hugo Mavesyn in Mavesyn Ridware. Created by Thomas Barrett, a renowned artist from the late 19th century, this drawing measures 26.7x7.6 cm and beautifully captures the essence of this historical monument. The focal point of this artwork is the effigy of Hugo Malveysin, dating back to 1140. The intricate details are brought to life as we see a knight adorned in chain armor and a surcoat, holding a shield and sword with great pride. The positioning of the effigy allows us to view it from above, providing an interesting perspective that highlights its grandeur. What makes this depiction even more intriguing is that unlike many other medieval tombs, Hugo's legs are not crossed – an uncommon feature for knights during that era. This detail adds further depth to our understanding of his significance within his community. As we gaze upon this print, we can't help but be transported back in time to witness the craftsmanship and artistry involved in creating such elaborate tombs. It serves as a testament to both Hugo's legacy and the skillful hands that crafted his final resting place. Preserved by eWilliam Salt Library today, this image offers us a glimpse into history while reminding us of our shared human desire to commemorate those who came before us.
