EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the magnificent door to the choir of the abbey church of Solesmes in France. The engraving, created by a French School artist in the 19th century, showcases the stunning architectural beauty and historical significance of this religious monument. The image holds a deeper story within its frame. It depicts a time when political turmoil and anti-clerical legislation swept through France during the third republic. In 1880 and 1882, under these circumstances, Benedictine monks from St Peters Abbey in Solesmes were expelled from their sacred grounds. This expulsion echoed an earlier dissolution of the monastery during the French Revolution in 1791. Illustrated for Charles D Hericault's book "La Revolution 1789-1882" this engraving serves as a visual testament to both religious history and political upheaval. The intricate details on the door reflect not only skilled craftsmanship but also symbolize Christian values that have withstood centuries of change. As we gaze upon this artwork, we are transported back in time to witness how religion and politics intertwine throughout history. The stone church stands tall as a public monument representing resilience and faith amidst challenging times. Through this photo print, we can appreciate not only its artistic value but also gain insight into European history, French culture, and Christianity's enduring influence on society.
