EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "From the East, Melrose Abbey" takes us on a journey back to the late 19th century. The artist behind this remarkable piece is Alexander Francis Lydon, whose attention to detail brings out the beauty of Melrose Abbey in Scotland. Featured in Frederick Ross's book "The Ruined Abbeys of Britain" this print captures the essence of religious architecture with its hauntingly beautiful facade. As we gaze upon this monochrome image, we are transported to a time when Christianity thrived within these ancient walls. The overgrown surroundings add an air of mystery and intrigue to the scene, making it appear almost spooky yet undeniably enchanting. The disrepair and remains tell tales of centuries past while reminding us of the fleeting nature of human existence. Melrose Abbey's Cistercian origins date back to the 12th century, standing as a testament to British history and literature. Its presence evokes a sense of reverence for those who appreciate both art and heritage. This wood engraving by William Mackenzie allows us to witness this architectural marvel from an eastern perspective, highlighting its grandeur against a backdrop that seems lost in time. With every intricate detail captured by Lydon's skilled hand, this print becomes more than just an artistic representation; it becomes a window into another era—a glimpse into the soul-stirring beauty that lies within ruins like Melrose Abbey.
