EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the enchanting St. Govans Head and Chapel in 1898. The Grade I listed St. Govans Chapel, nestled within the rugged cliffs of Pembrokeshire, Wales, is a remarkable architectural gem dating back to the 13th century, with some parts tracing their origins to the 6th century when it was inhabited by Saint Govan himself. The image is sourced from "Our Own Country, Volume VI" a literary work published by Cassell and Company in London, Paris & Melbourne during the late 19th century. The print showcases the chapel's exterior engraving against an awe-inspiring backdrop of limestone cliffs that have withstood centuries of coastal erosion. This historical photograph evokes a sense of isolation and seclusion as it portrays this remote religious site perched on the edge of mainland Britain. The crumbling yet resilient structure stands as a testament to both Welsh history and religious devotion. With its scenic vista overlooking the vast expanse of ocean, St. Govans Head has become not only a tourist attraction but also an inspiration for artists and writers alike throughout Victorian times. This image offers us a glimpse into Wales' rich cultural heritage while reminding us of our connection to nature's geological wonders. As we gaze upon this scene frozen in time by an unknown creator, we are transported back to an era where religion intertwined with science and literature flourished amidst breathtaking landscapes like these - forever preserved through photography's lens.
