EDITORS COMMENTS
This breathtaking photograph captures the awe-inspiring interior of Ely Cathedral in Cambridgeshire, England, taken by the skilled lens of Margaret F. Harker in the late-1940s. The image invites us to gaze upward into the heart of this magnificent medieval structure, where the lantern, a stunning architectural feat, takes center stage. The lantern's intricate design is a testament to the craftsmanship and artistic vision of the builders of this grand edifice. The cathedral's interior is bathed in soft, natural light filtering through the stained glass windows, casting a warm and inviting glow on the ancient stone walls. The vaulted ceiling, a masterpiece of Gothic architecture, stretches upwards, seemingly endless, its intricate patterns and ornate details drawing the eye skyward. The lantern, with its delicate tracery and elegant arches, stands proudly at the center of this celestial space, a beacon of light and hope. Religion and architecture merge in perfect harmony within the walls of Ely Cathedral, creating a spiritual sanctuary that has stood the test of time. The lantern, a symbol of divine illumination, serves as a reminder of the enduring power of faith and the beauty of the built environment. This photograph by Margaret F. Harker offers a rare glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when the world moved more slowly and the wonders of the past still held the power to inspire and captivate.
