This engraving, titled "Wolvesey Castle Winchester, c. 1830" takes us on a journey back in time to the medieval era. The print showcases the magnificent ruins of Wolvesey Castle, which was once the main residence of the Bishops of Winchester during the Middle Ages. The artist Owen Brown Carter beautifully captures the essence of this historical site, depicting its grandeur and architectural splendor. J. Le Kuex's skillful engraving technique adds depth and texture to every intricate detail. Situated next to Winchester Cathedral, this castle holds immense religious significance as it served as a bishop's palace for centuries. Built in the 12th century by Bishop Henry of Blois, brother of King Stephen, it stood as a symbol of power and authority.
