EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite craftsmanship of a Norman sculpted corbel, located at St Augustine's Abbey in Canterbury, Kent. The corbel is adorned with intricate figures and bears an inscription by the talented stonemason and sculptor Robertus me fecit, meaning "Robert made me" in Latin. The photograph beautifully captures the fine details and artistry of this ancient artefact. The stone sculpture stands as a testament to the rich history and architectural heritage of England. Its presence within St Augustine's Abbey adds depth to our understanding of medieval craftsmanship and religious devotion. The corbel itself is a remarkable example of Norman architecture, displaying both technical skill and artistic flair. Each figure depicted on its surface tells a story or symbolizes an aspect of religious significance. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back in time to an era when such masterpieces were created by skilled hands. Jonathan Bailey's photography expertly brings out the texture and character of this stone sculpture, allowing us to appreciate every curve, line, and chisel mark that went into its creation. Through his lens, he invites us to explore not only the physical beauty but also the historical context surrounding this extraordinary piece. In preserving moments like these through visual documentation, Historic England ensures that future generations can continue to marvel at our nation's cultural treasures while fostering appreciation for those who came before us.
