EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "The 800th Anniversary of the Completion of Domesday Book, Sketches at the Record Office" takes us back to a significant moment in history. Created by an English School artist in the 19th century, this print is now part of a private collection. The artwork depicts a scene from The Graphic newspaper on November 6,1886. It commemorates the completion of the iconic Domesday Book's 800th anniversary and offers us a glimpse into the record office where sketches are being made. The room is filled with historic books and textbooks neatly arranged on shelves, creating an atmosphere steeped in knowledge and heritage. Intriguingly, we can spot a treasure chest nearby, symbolizing both the value and secrecy surrounding these ancient records. Among them lies the Little Domesday Book – a smaller version that complements its larger counterpart. As our eyes wander through this enchanting image, we notice an old binding showcasing exquisite craftsmanship. This detail reminds us of how precious these historical documents are to our understanding of England's past. "The 800th Anniversary of the Completion of Domesday Book" transports us to an era when meticulous record-keeping was paramount for governance and taxation purposes under King William I's reign. Bridgeman Images has beautifully preserved this piece for all art enthusiasts to appreciate its historical significance today.
