EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the magnificent Monument to John Holland, located in the Church of St Katherine by the Tower in Stepney, London. Dating back to around 1810, this stunning monument pays tribute to John Holland (1395-1447), the 2nd Duke of Exeter and a renowned military commander during the Hundred Years War. The image showcases an intricately carved effigy of John Holland, who also served as Lord High Admiral of England from 1435 until his death. The monochrome tones add a sense of timelessness and highlight the fine details of this medieval masterpiece. Standing tall inside the church's interior, surrounded by other religious figures and memorials from centuries past, this monument is a testament to both English history and Christian faith. Its presence evokes a deep sense of reverence for those who have come before us. Captured by James Basire II, an esteemed engraver from Britain's nineteenth century art scene, this photograph provides a glimpse into London's rich architectural heritage. It serves as a reminder that even amidst modernization and progress, there are still places where one can connect with their country's historical roots. With its grandeur and solemnity, this print invites viewers to reflect on the bravery and sacrifice displayed by soldiers like John Holland during turbulent times such as the Hundred Years War. It stands as an enduring symbol not only for royalty but also for all those who have dedicated their lives to serving their country.
