EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "St. Constantines Cells, (near Colby Castle. ) Cumberland, 1814" takes us back to the enchanting landscapes of early 19th-century England. Created by the talented artist John Greig and featured in Walter Scott's renowned publication "The Border Antiquities of England and Scotland" this image transports us to a hidden retreat nestled amidst the picturesque countryside. In this monochromatic scene, we see three figures standing outside an architectural marvel that resembles a cave-like dwelling. The rugged beauty of the surrounding geography sets the stage for a serene day of fishing as one man holds his angler's rod with anticipation. The tranquil atmosphere exudes a sense of peace and solitude, perfectly capturing the concept of retreat from bustling city life. The historical significance is palpable as we imagine ourselves stepping into this Roman-inspired structure that has stood strong for centuries. Its weathered exterior tells tales of time gone by while its location on the border between England and Scotland adds an intriguing layer to its story. As we delve deeper into this print, it becomes evident why Sir Walter Scott chose to include it in his esteemed collection. John Greig's masterful engraving skillfully captures both the architectural details and natural landscape with precision and finesse. This print serves as a valuable piece of history, allowing us to appreciate not only St. Constantines Cells but also the rich heritage that lies within Cumbria's borders.
