EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Pulpit Hourglasses" takes us back to the 19th century and offers a glimpse into the world of decorative arts. The image showcases a collection of hourglasses, each one an exquisite relic from the past. These pulpit hourglasses were once essential tools in places of worship, particularly in Berkshire's Hurst region. Placed on pulpit brackets, they served as visual aids during sermons, reminding both clergy and congregation of the passing time. The intricate engravings highlight the delicate craftsmanship that went into creating these hourglasses. From their elegant hourglass shape to the fine grains of sand within them, every detail is meticulously captured by the English School artist. As we gaze upon this print, we are transported to a different era when time was measured not by digital clocks but by these mesmerizing sand glasses. They symbolize tradition and reverence for rituals that have stood the test of time. This artwork invites us to reflect on how our perception of time has evolved over centuries while also appreciating the beauty found in everyday objects like these pulpit hourglasses. It serves as a reminder that even in our fast-paced modern lives, there is still value in cherishing moments and embracing timeless traditions.
