EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back in time to the enchanting Carisbrooke Castle on the Isle of Wight. In this mesmerizing image, we are introduced to Jacob, a donkey with a rich history within these ancient walls. Jacob finds himself nestled within the sixteenth-century well house, standing proudly beside the tread wheel that once powered this remarkable structure. The well shaft looms before him, an emblem of both practicality and beauty. What sets Jacob apart from other donkeys is his name - starting with J, just like all his predecessors at Carisbrooke Castle. This tradition dates back 150 years when Charles I was held captive here during tumultuous times. As he penned letters or devised escape plans, he would sign them with a J. And so it was decided that every donkey gracing these grounds would bear a name beginning with this letter. Photographed by F. N. Broderick between 1850-1900, this image captures not only the spirit of Jacob but also reflects upon the enduring legacy of Carisbrooke Castle itself. With its Tudor and Victorian architecture blending seamlessly into its timbered surroundings, it stands as a testament to centuries gone by. As we gaze upon this photograph print from Historic England, we cannot help but be drawn into its timeless charm and imagine ourselves walking through those historic halls alongside Jacob – an endearing symbol of loyalty intertwined with royal history.
