EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "Chapel at Wastdale Head, Cumberland" takes us on a journey to the picturesque Wasdale valley in the western part of England's Lake District. The focal point of this print is St. Olafs church, a charming and humble structure nestled amidst the breathtaking fells and hills of Cumbria. The chapel itself is an architectural gem, known for its diminutive size and intriguing history. While the exact date of its construction remains uncertain, it is believed that the beams used in building this quaint church were repurposed from a Viking longship—an extraordinary detail that adds to its allure. As we gaze upon this scene, we are transported to a rural countryside where nature reigns supreme. The tranquil beauty of Wastwater stretches out before us while the belfry stands tall against the backdrop of rolling hills. It is as if time has stood still in this idyllic corner of England. This evocative engraving captures not only the physical features but also the essence and spirit of this enchanting place. Through delicate lines and intricate details, it invites us to explore every nook and cranny with our imagination. Whether you have visited Wasdale Head or simply appreciate art that transports you to another time and place, this print serves as a testament to both human craftsmanship and nature's awe-inspiring beauty.
