EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the grandeur of the Collegiate Church of St. Peter in Westminster, also known as Westminster Abbey. The image captures a moment before the historic Coronation of James II in 1688, providing a glimpse into the magnificent ecclesiastical architecture and atmosphere that surrounded this significant event. The viewer is immediately drawn to the impressive gothic details adorning every corner of the church's interior. From intricately carved tapestries to ornate altars, each element exudes an air of reverence and splendor. The congregation can be seen scattered throughout, their presence adding a sense of scale and human connection amidst such opulence. The focal point lies at the east end where all eyes are naturally drawn - an area reserved for special ceremonies within religious spaces. Here, we find ourselves immersed in history as we witness preparations for James II's coronation unfold. It is impossible not to feel a sense of anticipation and awe when contemplating what took place within these hallowed walls centuries ago. Samuel Moore's expertly engraved photograph beautifully captures both the architectural majesty and historical significance contained within this iconic landmark. This print serves as a testament to our enduring fascination with art, history, religion, and culture – reminding us that even through photography we can travel back in time and experience moments long gone by.
