EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the enchanting Lady Chapel nestled within the historic Okehampton Castle in Devonshire, England. Taken by an English photographer in the 19th century, this image transports us back to a time of grandeur and elegance. The Lady Chapel stands as a testament to the rich history and architectural beauty of this medieval fortress. Its weathered stone walls tell tales of battles fought and lives lived within its protective embrace. The chapel's intricate details are highlighted in stark contrast against the monochromatic backdrop, drawing our eyes to its graceful arches and delicate carvings. As we gaze upon this photograph, we can almost imagine ourselves stepping into another era. The ruins surrounding the chapel evoke a sense of mystery and intrigue, reminding us that even great fortifications succumb to the passage of time. This image was originally featured in The Illustrated London News on December 28th, 1895 - a window into Victorian society's fascination with historical landmarks. It now resides in a private collection but has found new life through Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder. Through photography's lens, we are transported across borders - from Europe to Great Britain - immersing ourselves in British culture and heritage. This print serves as a reminder that while empires may rise and fall, their stories endure through art for generations to come.
