EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the early 19th century in Normandy, France. The talented artist Richard Thomas Underwood beautifully captures the enchanting sight of Mont St. Michel, a Benedictine Abbey rising majestically from the sea-bed. It seems like a fairy fantasy brought to life, yet firmly rooted in reality by the raised causeway connecting it to the mainland. The image showcases the remarkable architecture and religious significance of this landmark. The abbey's granite structure stands proudly amidst a rocky landscape, surrounded by sandy beaches that are kissed by gentle tides. Its isolated island location adds an air of mystery and intrigue. Underwood's composition evokes a sense of wonder and transports viewers into another era. This picturesque scene is filled with vibrant colors that bring out every detail - from the textured rocks to the serene blue waters. As we gaze at this stunning portrayal, we can almost imagine ourselves exploring this historic site during low tide in the 1930s. It serves as a reminder of both natural phenomena and human ingenuity coming together to create something truly extraordinary. This print not only captures an iconic tourist attraction but also preserves a moment frozen in time for future generations to appreciate and admire thanks to its publication in Geographical Magazine Volume 5.
