EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and detailed coloured engraving captures the majestic entrance into Poets Corner at Westminster Abbey in London. The print, created by Augustus Charles Pugin, showcases the remarkable architecture of this historic building and pays homage to some of the greatest literary figures in English history. As we gaze upon this image, our eyes are drawn to the numerous memorials that adorn the walls. Each memorial represents a renowned poet or writer who has left an indelible mark on literature. From John Dryden to John Milton, from Geoffrey Chaucer to Ben Johnson, these names evoke a sense of reverence and admiration for their contributions to the world of words. The statue-filled corridor leads us deeper into this hallowed space where creativity is celebrated and immortalized. The sculptures stand as silent witnesses to centuries of artistic expression and serve as a reminder of the enduring power of poetry. The date inscribed on this print - 1 November 1811 - reminds us that even then, over two hundred years ago, poets were being honored within these sacred walls. It serves as a testament to how long-standing traditions can continue to inspire generations after generations. This engraving not only captures a moment frozen in time but also invites us into a realm where artistry meets spirituality. It is an invitation to explore the rich tapestry woven by poets past and present within Poets Corner at Westminster Abbey – an invitation we gladly accept with awe and reverence.
