EDITORS COMMENTS
The Wishing Chair, Giants Causeway, County Antrim, Ireland, 1887. This print captures the enchanting beauty of the Giants Causeway in all its glory. Legend has it that this natural wonder was built by the Irish giant Finn McCool to challenge his Scottish rival Benandonner across the Irish Sea. However, science tells us a different story - these magnificent hexagonal basalt columns were formed through a volcanic eruption millions of years ago. In this monochrome image, we see a woman sitting on one of these remarkable rock formations. She exudes an air of tranquility as she enjoys her pipe amidst this breathtaking landscape. The black and white tones add a timeless quality to the scene, emphasizing both the grandeur and mystery surrounding this iconic location. The Giants Causeway stands as a testament to nature's extraordinary power and artistic prowess. It is not only a geological marvel but also holds immense cultural significance for Northern Ireland and Britain as a whole. This photograph allows us to immerse ourselves in its majesty while contemplating both mythical tales and scientific wonders. This stereoscopic card from Underwood & Underwood transports us back to 1887 when explorers marveled at such natural wonders with awe and curiosity. As we gaze upon this print today, we are reminded of our connection to history and our shared fascination with landscapes that stir our imagination.
