EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the majestic St. Davids Cathedral and the College from a unique perspective in 1898. The creator of this remarkable image remains unknown, but their talent for capturing architectural beauty is evident. St. Davids Cathedral, located in Pembrokeshire, Wales, holds great historical significance as the final resting place of Saint David, Wales' patron saint. Originally constructed in the 12th century, it suffered destruction at the hands of Cromwell's forces before being restored to its former glory by Sir John Nash in 1793. The photograph showcases the cathedral's impressive Romanesque architecture against a backdrop of breathtaking natural scenery. The intricately designed facade stands tall and proud, bearing witness to centuries of religious devotion and cultural heritage. Intriguingly, amidst this grandeur lies a group of background people - men and children - adding life to the scene and providing scale to appreciate the sheer size of this magnificent structure. This image was featured in "Our Own Country". Volume VI published by Cassell & Company Ltd. , London, Paris & Melbourne in 1898. It serves as a testament to both British literature and artistry during that era. As we gaze upon this print today, we are transported back through time to an age where spirituality intertwined with architectural brilliance. This historic landmark continues to be a significant tourist attraction drawing visitors from around the world who seek solace within its hallowed walls while marveling at its timeless beauty.
