EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Remains of the Monastery, Bury St Edmund's, Suffolk" takes us on a journey back in time to the 19th century. The image showcases the historical significance and beauty of this ancient site. Intriguingly, this print captures a momentous discovery that occurred in 1773. A group of labourers stumbled upon the embalmed body of Thomas Beaufort, son of John of Gaunt, within these very monastery ruins. Astonishingly preserved since his passing, Beaufort's remains were said to be as perfect as they were on the day he passed away. The illustration is part of "Curiosities of Great Britain" by Thomas Dugdale and was published around 1850 by L Tallis. It offers viewers a glimpse into an important chapter in English history while showcasing the architectural remnants that remain today. Bury St Edmund's holds great historical significance as it was once home to Saint Edmund himself – known as Edmund the Martyr – who met his tragic fate at this very location centuries earlier. This engraving not only highlights its rich past but also invites us to reflect on our own mortality and how fragments from history can still resonate with us today. With its intricate details and evocative atmosphere, this print serves as a testament to both artistic skill and our eternal fascination with uncovering relics from our past.
