EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the year 1925, capturing the haunting beauty of St Andrews Cathedral in all its glory. The ruins of this magnificent structure stand proudly in the Scottish burgh of St Andrews, located in Fife. The construction of this grand cathedral commenced way back in 1160, with a dedication to St Andrew - one of the twelve Apostles and Scotland's patron saint. It holds great historical significance as it housed the relics of this revered saint since their arrival in the 8th century. For centuries, it served as Scotland's ecclesiastical capital until the Reformation brought about significant changes. Alfred Hind Robinson skillfully captures every architectural feature with his panoramic lens, emphasizing the sheer scale and intricate details that once adorned this sacred place. The arches gracefully frame what remains of this ancient structure, evoking a sense of awe and wonder. In choosing to present this image in black and white, Robinson adds an element of timelessness to his composition. The absence of color allows us to focus solely on the architectural marvel before us without any distractions. As we gaze upon this remarkable photograph by Alfred Hind Robinson, we are transported back through history - reminded not only of Scotland's rich heritage but also humbled by how even ruins can exude such profound beauty and evoke a deep sense of reverence within our souls.
