EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of Fan Vaulting, a masterpiece of Perpendicular architectural style found in the Henry VII Chapel at Westminster Abbey in London. The image is taken from the book "A History of Everyday Things in England - Done in two parts of which this is the first - 1066-1499" by Marjorie and C. D. B. Quennell, published by B. T. Batsford in 1931. The photograph transports us back to the 20th century, specifically the 1930s when this remarkable piece of medieval architecture was captured for posterity. Charles Henry Bourne Quennell skillfully captures every detail, showcasing his artistic prowess and deep appreciation for Gothic design. As we gaze upon this monochrome illustration, we are transported inside Westminster Abbey's hallowed walls, where religion and history intertwine seamlessly. The fan vaults soar above us with their delicate tracery resembling an intricately woven fan or even a celestial canopy. This image not only serves as a visual feast for architecture enthusiasts but also provides valuable insight into England's rich cultural heritage during the Middle Ages. It reminds us that these magnificent structures were not just buildings; they were symbols of faith, power, and human ingenuity. Thanks to Heritage Images' preservation efforts, we can admire this snapshot from history today without commercial use intentions but rather with a sense of awe and reverence towards our ancestors' achievements in artistry and craftsmanship.
