EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the historical monument of Waltham Cross, dating back to approximately 1820. The hand-coloured engraving, created by W. B Clarke and engraved by H. Winkles, offers a glimpse into the past when this magnificent stone cross was erected in the 13th century. Commissioned by King Edward I as part of his commemoration for his beloved wife Eleanor of Castile, this particular cross is one of twelve that were strategically placed along the route from Lincoln to London. Each cross marked a resting place where Eleanor's body would rest overnight during its journey. The image beautifully captures the grandeur and piety associated with medieval England. It transports us back in time, allowing us to witness firsthand the reconstruction efforts undertaken during that era. The attention to detail in this hand-coloured engraving brings life to every intricacy of this architectural marvel. As we admire this piece from a private collection, it serves as a reminder not only of Queen Eleanor's significance but also of the enduring love between her and King Edward I. This photograph print is an exquisite representation of history frozen in time—a testament to both artistic skill and historical preservation.
