EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Choir of the Cathedral in 1898. The medieval choir stalls, dating back to the 12th century, are beautifully captured in this image taken inside Carlisle Cathedral. Originally founded as an Augustinian priory, the cathedral gained its status during the reign of King Henry I in 1133. The restoration work carried out by Ewan Christian between 1853 and 1870 is evident in every intricate detail. The photograph is sourced from "Our Own Country, Volume VI" published by Cassell and Company Limited in London, Paris & Melbourne in 1898. It offers a glimpse into British history and architecture at that time. The image portrays an archway with background figures immersed within the grandeur of their surroundings. The gothic-style architecture features pointed arches and stained glass windows that add to the ethereal atmosphere of this sacred space. With its rich historical significance and religious symbolism, this print transports viewers back to a time when faith played a central role in people's lives. It serves as a reminder of both our cultural heritage and architectural achievements throughout centuries past. As we admire this remarkable piece captured by an unknown creator, we can't help but appreciate how it encapsulates the beauty found within Carlisle Cathedral while preserving a moment frozen in time for generations to come.
