EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the majestic West View of St. Austins Abbey in Canterbury, England. The engraving, created by Nathaniel and Samuel Buck in 1735, measures 19.2x37.4 cm and is now housed at the Yale Center for British Art as part of the esteemed Paul Mellon Collection. St. Augustine's Abbey holds great historical significance as it marks the revival of Christianity in southern England during AD 597. Founded just outside the walls of Canterbury by Saint Augustine himself, this Benedictine monastery was dedicated to St Peter and St Paul. The image captures the architectural grandeur of this medieval abbey with its towering survey tower, intricate Gothic details, and imposing gatehouse. The ruins stand as a testament to both its former glory and its eventual demise due to Henry VIII's Dissolution of the Monasteries in 1538. One can almost imagine monks silently traversing through cloisters or seeking solace within these ancient walls that once thrived with religious fervor. This enchanting print not only offers a glimpse into English history but also serves as a reminder of the enduring beauty found within our architectural heritage. It transports us back to an era where faith intertwined with artistry, leaving behind an indelible mark on our cultural landscape.
