EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back to the Victorian era, capturing the timeless beauty of All Saints Church in Marlow, Buckinghamshire. Taken by renowned photographer Henry Taunt in 1883, this image showcases the church's stunning architecture against a backdrop of the tranquil River Thames. The photograph reveals a picturesque scene with Marlow Bridge gracefully spanning across the river, leading our gaze towards All Saints Church standing proudly on its banks. Originally built during medieval times, this architectural gem was reconstructed between 1832-5 by C F Inwood after being destroyed. The chancel was later added in 1875-6, while further alterations were made to its spire and tower in 1898-9. Taunt's expert lens captures every intricate detail of this historic place of worship. The sharpness of his composition allows us to appreciate the fine craftsmanship that went into creating such an awe-inspiring structure. From its ornate facade to its towering spire reaching for the heavens above, All Saints Church exudes grandeur and elegance. As we delve into this remarkable snapshot from history, we are reminded not only of Marlow's rich heritage but also of Taunt's exceptional talent as a photographer. This print serves as a testament to his ability to freeze moments in time and preserve them for generations to come.
