EDITORS COMMENTS
This sepia print showcases the interior of All Saints Church in Hastings, capturing a moment frozen in time around 1900. The focus of this particular photograph is on the font, which stands as a symbol of spiritual significance within the church. The intricate details and delicate craftsmanship are beautifully highlighted by the warm tones of sepia. The Hordern Collection at West Sussex Record Office has preserved this remarkable piece, allowing us to glimpse into the past and appreciate the historical value it holds. This image offers a unique perspective on religious practices during that era, providing an insight into how communities gathered for baptisms and other sacred rituals. As we gaze upon this print, we can almost feel ourselves transported back to a time when parishioners sought solace within these hallowed walls. The soft lighting casts gentle shadows across the pews and highlights every curve and contour of the font's design. While not much information is available about its commercial use or origin beyond its inclusion in West Sussex County Council's General Photographic Collection, what remains undeniable is its ability to evoke nostalgia and curiosity among those who encounter it today. It serves as a testament to both human creativity and our desire to connect with something greater than ourselves through faith. In preserving such treasures from our past, institutions like West Sussex County Council allow us to appreciate history's beauty while honoring those who came before us.
