EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the year 1481, capturing a rubbing of a medieval engraved brass. The intricate details on this tomb monument tell the story of Thomas Teylar, a respected rector of the parish church of Biflete and one of the canons at Lincoln Cathedral. As we gaze upon this image, we are reminded of the rich history and religious significance that permeated England during the Middle Ages. The solemnity surrounding death is palpable as we read the inscription: "Here lies Thomas Teylar. . . on whose soul God have mercy". It serves as a poignant reminder that even centuries later, our mortality remains an undeniable part of our existence. This portrait transports us to another era, allowing us to connect with those who came before us and reflect on their lives. The monochrome aesthetic adds depth and mystery to this piece, emphasizing its historical context. The unknown creator has expertly captured every line and curve etched into the brass, preserving it for generations to come. Through this photograph, we gain insight into not only Thomas Teylar's life but also into medieval Christianity and its influence on English society. As we contemplate this image from The Connoisseur magazine in December 1901, let us appreciate both its artistic value and its role in preserving our cultural heritage. It serves as a testament to human ingenuity in capturing moments frozen in time – reminding us that even after centuries have passed since Thomas Teylar's death
