EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the enchanting South-east corner of the Lady Chapel at Rosslyn Chapel, Scotland in 1893. Built in 1446 by Sir William St Clair, the third and last St Clair Prince of Orkney, this chapel holds a mysterious allure due to its alleged connections with Freemasonry and the Knights Templar. Speculations even suggest that it may be the resting place of the Holy Grail. The Gothic architecture of this medieval church is beautifully showcased in this image. The intricate details and delicate craftsmanship transport viewers back to the 15th century, immersing them in a rich religious history. As one gazes upon this monochrome scene, they can almost feel the weight of centuries past. Located in Midlothian, Scotland, Rosslyn Chapel stands as a testament to Scottish heritage and Christian faith. Its significance extends beyond its religious purpose; it represents an era when artistry flourished amidst spiritual devotion. This particular illustration comes from "A Short History of the English People" by John Richard Green, published in 1893. It serves as both a historical document and a work of art capturing an important moment in time. As we admire this remarkable print today, let us appreciate not only its aesthetic beauty but also its ability to transport us into another world - one filled with mystery, spirituality, and architectural marvels from centuries gone by.
