EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite screen over the chantry of Henry V in Westminster Abbey, London. Created in 1811 by artist J Bluck, this stunning piece of art depicts intricate carvings of saints and kings. The screen itself is a remarkable fusion of medieval craftsmanship and 19th-century aesthetics. The image transports us back to the heart of British history, as we admire the architectural grandeur and religious significance that Westminster Abbey holds. It serves as a testament to England's rich Christian heritage and its enduring devotion to faith. The photograph captures both the solemnity and beauty within this sacred space. The play of light streaming through the window casts an ethereal glow on the wooden screen, enhancing its regal presence. Every figure carved into it tells a story, representing not only monarchs but also revered saints who have left their mark on Christianity. Preserved within Guildhall Library and Art Gallery, this print allows us to appreciate Frederick Mackenzie's meticulous attention to detail when capturing Charles Joseph Hullmandel's aquatint technique. Through his lens, Mackenzie immortalizes an extraordinary moment frozen in time—a glimpse into centuries past where religion intertwined with monarchy at Westminster Abbey. As we gaze upon this photo print, we are reminded of our connection to history—of how these ancient structures continue to inspire awe and reverence today.
