EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the magnificent exterior of Caernarvon Castle in North Wales, taken in 1931 by artist Charles Henry Bourne Quennell. The castle, a part of the iron ring encircling Snowdonia, was constructed during the late 13th and early 14th centuries by Edward I as a means to suppress potential Welsh rebellions. Despite enduring sieges during the uprising of 1294-1295 and again in 1403-1404 led by Owain Glyndwr, Caernarfon Castle stood strong. The image is an illustration from "A History of Everyday Things in England" a two-part book written by Marjorie and C. D. B. Quennell that delves into English history between 1066 and 1499. Published in London in 1931 by B. T. Batsford, this remarkable piece captures not only the architectural beauty but also provides insight into medieval fortifications. The photograph portrays the castle's grandeur against a backdrop of stunning natural scenery with River Seiont flowing nearby. It serves as a testament to both its historical significance and its enduring presence within Wales' landscape. With its monochrome aesthetic evoking nostalgia for times gone by, this image transports viewers back to the thirties while showcasing one of Wales' most iconic landmarks.
