EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the majestic Castle Rising Castle, located in Kings Lynn, Norfolk. Built around 1150 by William d'Aubigny, Earl of Arundel, this historic castle stands as a testament to the rich heritage of England. The photograph beautifully captures the exterior of the castle with its imposing walls and fortifications. Notably, Castle Rising Castle holds significant historical importance as it was once home to Isabella of France, Queen consort of Edward II of England. From 1330 until her death in 1358, Isabella resided within these very walls. This adds an intriguing layer to the castle's story and invites us to imagine what life may have been like for this disgraced queen during her time here. The image is presented in color and provides a vivid representation of this medieval structure against the backdrop of East Anglia's picturesque countryside. A banner bearing the coat-of-arms flutters proudly atop one tower while flags adorn other parts of the castle. Photographer Peter Thompson skillfully captured this scene in a horizontal composition that allows viewers to appreciate both the grandeur and details present in every corner. With its historical significance and architectural splendor on full display, this print serves as a remarkable reminder of Britain's past and its enduring cultural legacy.
