"Capturing the Essence of Time: The Artistic Lens of Alfred Capel-Cure" Step into a world frozen in time as we explore the captivating works of Alfred Capel-Cure. From Montacute House near Yeovil to the Town Hall in Cirencester, his photographs transport us back to the mid-19th century. In 1858, Capel-Cure immortalized Reverend L. C. Cure and His Pony, capturing their bond and showcasing his ability to capture intimate moments. The following year, he turned his lens towards Peter, freezing a moment of innocence forever. But it wasn't just people that fascinated this talented artist; he also had an eye for architecture and landscapes. Falaise Castle stood tall before him in 1856 while St. Peters in the East, Oxford beckoned him with its grandeur in 1859. Byland Abbey's ruins became a hauntingly beautiful subject for Capel-Cure's lens in 1856, while Blake House adorned itself with an American Creeper under his watchful gaze in 1860. His portraits were equally mesmerizing - Harry's enigmatic expression captured our curiosity as we wondered about his story. Not limited to photography alone, Capel-Cure delved into other forms of art too. A photo-reproduction brought Hogarth's print illustrating the Dunciad to life once more. Interior scenes held no secrets from him either; Tintern Abbey unfolded its beauty before his camera lens in 1857 while Herstmonceaux showcased its architectural splendor later that same year. Alfred Capel-Cure was not merely a photographer but an artist who skillfully froze moments and emotions within each frame he captured. Through these glimpses into history, we are reminded of the power photography holds - preserving memories and stories for generations yet unborn.
