EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate details of an original radiator cover from 1899. Crafted in bronze by an English School artist, this exquisite piece can be found at the John Rylands Library in the University of Manchester, UK. The library itself was designed by Basil Champneys and completed in the same year as this stunning artwork. The photograph captures a fixture that exudes ornate beauty with its neo-gothic design. A face emerges from the center, surrounded by a symphony of flowers, leaves, and grille patterns. This Victorian gothic creation is a testament to the elaborate and decorative style prevalent during the gothic revival art movement. The photographer, James Brittain, skillfully brings out every minute detail of this remarkable work. His lens allows us to appreciate not only its aesthetic appeal but also its historical significance as part of Mrs Enriqueta Augustina Rylands' tribute to her late husband. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back in time to an era where craftsmanship and attention to detail were highly valued. It serves as a reminder that even functional objects like radiator covers could be transformed into works of art.
