EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the magnificent Cambridge Castle, dating back to the 11th century. The creator of this remarkable piece remains unknown, adding an air of mystery to its historical significance. The image provides a unique perspective on the castle's architecture, featuring both a plan and a view from an ancient drawing believed to have been created during Queen Elizabeth's reign. Cambridge Castle was originally constructed in 1068 by William the Conqueror as part of his fortification efforts across England. This motte and bailey castle stood proudly for centuries until its unfortunate demolition in 1842. Its grandeur is evident in this engraving, capturing the imposing Juliet or Great Tower mentioned by Ralph Agas in his Antiquarian Discourses. The print not only offers us a glimpse into medieval British history but also highlights Francis Grose's dedication to preserving England and Wales' antiquities through his work "The Antiquities of England and Wales". It serves as a testament to Grose's commitment to documenting architectural treasures that would otherwise be lost over time. As we gaze upon this enchanting landscape, we are transported back in time, imagining knights patrolling the courtyard and nobles strolling through its halls. This evocative image allows us to appreciate the beauty of Cambridge Castle while contemplating its rich historical legacy that continues to captivate our imaginations today.
