EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the grandeur of Ely Cathedral, located in Cambridgeshire, England. Known as the ship of the Fens due to its distinctive shape, this magnificent structure has stood tall since its construction began in 1083 under Abbot Simeon. However, tragedy struck in 1322 when the Norman crossing tower collapsed. The cathedral was then graced with a new iconic feature - an octagonal lantern tower designed by Alan of Walsingham, completed in 1351. The image captures not only the architectural beauty but also highlights the surrounding landscape and nature that envelops this historic site. A towering tree stands gracefully beside the cathedral, adding a touch of serenity to the scene. The vibrant colors bring life to every intricate detail of this medieval masterpiece. This print is part of Hutchinson's Britain Beautiful collection from volume I (1924-1926), edited by Walter Hutchinson himself. It serves as a testament to British heritage and showcases FC Varley's talent for capturing architectural marvels through his lens. As you gaze upon this remarkable piece, let your imagination transport you back centuries ago when religion played a central role in society and structures like Ely Cathedral were revered symbols of faith and devotion.
