EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the ancient religious ruins of St. Josephs Chapel, located within Glastonbury Abbey in Somerset, England. The image, captured by Underwood & Underwood in 1900 using a stereoscope, showcases the architectural beauty and historical significance of this 6th-century chapel. Glastonbury Abbey was once one of England's most influential monasteries, renowned for its wealth and power during medieval times. However, all that remains today are these hauntingly beautiful ruins from the grand building completed centuries later in the 13th century. As we gaze upon this monochrome scene, we are transported into the interior of St. Josephs Chapel. The nave stretches out before us with an air of solemnity and reverence. It is a testament to the enduring presence of Christianity throughout history. The photograph captures not only the physical decay but also evokes a sense of spiritual contemplation amidst these crumbling walls. We can almost hear echoes from centuries past as we stand inside this sacred space. Underwood & Underwood have skillfully preserved this moment frozen in time through their cinematographic lens. Their artistry allows us to appreciate both the architectural marvels and religious heritage contained within Glastonbury Abbey's ruins. This print serves as a powerful reminder that even though time may wear away at structures built by human hands, it cannot erase their cultural importance or our ability to connect with them on a profound level.
