1874 Engraving Bridge Canterbury Modern Overpass Pilgrims Road Viaduct Contrasted Pilgrimages
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Ancient and Modern Pilgrimages Contrasted: Ancient Pilgrims by Road, London Bridge to Canterbury, UK" takes us back in time to the year 1874. The image showcases a beautifully engraved scene depicting the stark contrast between ancient and modern pilgrimages. In this Victorian-era artwork, we see a bustling road leading from London Bridge towards the historic city of Canterbury. On one side of the bridge stands a group of ancient pilgrims, dressed in traditional attire and carrying walking sticks as they embark on their spiritual journey. Their determination is palpable as they traverse the long road ahead. On the other side of the bridge, contrasting with tradition, we witness modern advancements in transportation. A viaduct or overpass looms overhead, symbolizing progress and industrialization. This juxtaposition highlights how times have changed since these ancient pilgrimages took place centuries ago. The engraving itself is an exquisite example of illustrative technique prevalent during that era. Its retro-styled design adds to its vintage charm while evoking a sense of nostalgia for days gone by. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from Liszt Collection's Arkheia series, we are transported back in time to witness history unfold before our eyes. It serves as a reminder of how culture and traditions evolve over generations while also preserving elements that continue to shape our present-day society.
