EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph print, titled "The Abbot's Kitchen, Glastonbury, 1854," transports us back in time to the enchanting ruins of Glastonbury Abbey in Somerset, England. The image, published in the Illustrated London News in 1854, showcases the remnants of the abbot's garden, an octagonal building of grand dimensions. With its pyramidal form, vaulted dome, and quaint old lanthorn, the kitchen evokes tales of the monks of old. In these hallowed halls, sleek abbots and portly friars once spent jovial hours in the refectory, discussing the day's menu of capon and pasty, and draining flagons of wine with epicurean gusto. The photograph, a beautiful example of 19th-century engraving, invites us to imagine the rich history of this Gothic and medieval structure. As a tourist attraction and a significant piece of religious and architectural heritage, the ruins of Glastonbury Abbey continue to draw visitors from around the world. This print, a window into the past, offers a glimpse into the lives of those who once called this place home, and serves as a testament to the enduring allure of the Middle Ages.
