EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of a remarkable statue displayed at the Cymreigyddion Festival in Abergavenny, Wales in 1845. The sculpture, created by Mr. W. Jones of Merthyr Tydvil, depicts Taliesin pen Beirrdd, an ancient bard known as the Prince of the Bards. Wrapped in a simple frock reminiscent of a monk's attire and bound with a rope around his waist, Taliesin stands tall with one arm raised high above his head in an intense gesture that exudes both power and prophetic wisdom. His piercing gaze seems to denounce those who would stray from the true teachings of the Gospel as handed down by the Apostles against St. Augustine's Roman innovations. The composition is elegantly simple yet brimming with spirit and character. The artist has skillfully captured Taliesin's vigorous action and conveyed a clear message through this magnificent work. The engraving featured in "Illustrated London News" showcases not only the talent of Mr. W. Jones but also serves as a testament to Welsh culture and literature during this vibrant era. As we gaze upon this extraordinary image from over 150 years ago, we are reminded of the enduring legacy left behind by talented artists like Mr. W. Jones who dedicated themselves to preserving history through their craft. This photograph invites us into a world where art transcends time, allowing us to appreciate its beauty even today.
