Going To Service By The Dark Entry - Colonial and Indian Visitors at Canterbury
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print, captured in 1886, transports us back to a significant moment in history. A large party of Colonists and Indians associated with the Colinderies embarked on a memorable visit to Canterbury, Kent. Organized under the patronage of the Prince of Wales, the Colonial and Indian Exhibition held at South Kensington showcased the diverse cultures within Britain's colonial empire. The focal point of this image is "The Dark Entry" an archway passage beneath the Priors Lodging building that connects the Green Court with Canterbury Cathedral. Steeped in mystery and rumored to be haunted, it adds an air of intrigue to this already fascinating scene. As we observe this snapshot from over a century ago, we witness men dressed in traditional attire making their way towards church service. Their presence symbolizes both colonialism and Christianity intertwining during this era. The architectural marvels surrounding them - including the majestic cathedral spire - serve as a reminder of England's rich medieval heritage. Published by "The Graphic" newspaper on August 7th, 1886, this engraving captures not only a historical event but also represents Victorian society's fascination with exploration and cultural exchange. Through this remarkable print by Unknown from Heritage Images collection, we are transported into an era where different worlds collided against a backdrop of architectural splendor – forever frozen in time for us to admire today.
