EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the majestic Great Portal of Crowland Abbey in 1890. The creator of this remarkable image remains unknown, adding an air of mystery to its allure. Crowland Abbey, situated in Lincolnshire, is a Grade I listed building that holds great historical significance. The abandoned abbey stands as a testament to the rich heritage and artistic prowess of the Benedictine monks who once resided within its walls. This monochromatic depiction showcases the derelict exterior, with nature reclaiming its territory as overgrown vegetation surrounds the portal. Through this photograph, we are transported back to a bygone era, immersed in the medieval charm and spirituality that emanates from every stone. The engraving-like quality adds depth and texture to the scene, evoking feelings of nostalgia for a time long past. As we gaze upon this hauntingly beautiful sight, it serves as a reminder of Britain's deep-rooted Christian traditions and their influence on literature, art, and culture throughout history. The gravestones scattered around further emphasize the connection between religion and mortality. Preserved within Edmund Ollier's "Cassells Illustrated Universal History" this image allows us to appreciate not only the architectural grandeur but also provides insight into life during the nineteenth century. It invites contemplation about our own place in time while honoring those who came before us. With each passing day since 1890 when this photo was taken, Crowland Abbey continues to stand tall as an enduring symbol of faith and resilience amidst changing landscapes.
