EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print takes us back to the year 1898, offering a mesmerizing view of the Gateway of Lancaster Castle. Standing tall with its imposing battlements and circular shape, this gatehouse dates back to the 15th century, serving as a fortification for centuries. The intricate details captured in this engraving showcase the architectural marvels of both the eleventh and fifteenth centuries. Lancaster Castle holds a significant place in British history as it functioned as a prison from 1196 until 2011. This historical site witnessed countless tales of crime, punishment, and penitentiary life throughout its existence. As we gaze upon this image, we can't help but imagine the stories that unfolded within these ancient walls. The unknown creator of this photograph skillfully captures not only the grandeur of Lancaster Castle but also includes background people strolling by – perhaps tourists or locals taking in their surroundings. It serves as a reminder that even amidst such an imposing structure, life continues outside its fortified walls. As we delve into our own country's past through literature like "Our Own Country". Volume VI published by Cassell and Company Ltd. , London, Paris & Melbourne in 1898 - we are transported to another era where castles stood tall against time's relentless march forward.
