EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Alun Bull captures the eerie beauty of Cemetery DP234907, located in St James Gardens, Hope Street, Liverpool. Steeped in history and gothic charm, this former cemetery has been transformed into a public park that still retains its haunting allure. In this particular shot, we are transported to the north end of the cemetery, where our gaze is drawn towards the mesmerizing rock face below the Oratory. The composition exudes an air of mystery and darkness as shadows dance across black gravestones and tombs from a bygone era. The Victorian influence is evident throughout the image; intricate details on each tombstone tell stories of lives once lived. It serves as a poignant reminder of mortality and invites contemplation about life's fleeting nature. Alun Bull's expertly captured photograph not only showcases his artistic prowess but also pays homage to Historic England's commitment to preserving our rich heritage. Through his lens, he immortalizes this unique space where past meets present - a place where visitors can wander amidst history while enjoying the tranquility of a public park. Without mentioning commercial use or any specific company affiliation, this stunning print stands alone as a testament to Alun Bull's talent for capturing both beauty and melancholy within one frame.
