EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print takes us back to the vibrant and grandiose atmosphere of The Septcentenary Civic Celebration in Winchester, England. Captured by an anonymous English School artist in the 19th century, this engraving beautifully showcases a momentous event that marked 700 years since the city's foundation. As we delve into the image, our eyes are immediately drawn to the illustrious round table adorned with elegant decorations. Surrounding it, we see a tapestry of street scenes featuring iconic landmarks such as the oldest house, banqueting hall, and principal residence. These architectural marvels stand as testaments to Winchester's rich heritage. The presence of historical figures is palpable; from Plantagenet kings to King Arthur himself, their legacy looms large over this celebration. We catch glimpses of South Entrance and West Gate - gateways that have witnessed centuries pass by under their arches. Intriguingly, amidst all these ancient structures stands a modern addition - City Memorial erected in 1873. This juxtaposition serves as a reminder that traditions seamlessly blend with progress throughout history. The enchanting ambiance is further enhanced by Queen Mary's Chair nestled within this bustling scene. Its significance harks back to William I's reign during which it was believed he held court there.
