EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1898, capturing the Tombs of the Kings, St. Orans Chapel, and Iona Cathedral in all their historical glory. The creator of this remarkable image remains unknown, but their work has beautifully preserved a significant part of Western Europe's Christian heritage. Iona holds great importance as one of the oldest Christian religious centers in Western Europe and served as the final resting place for the kings of Dal Riata. This sacred site continues to attract countless pilgrims seeking spiritual solace and connection with history. The photo is sourced from "Our Own Country, Volume VI" published by Cassell and Company Ltd. , London, Paris & Melbourne in 1898. It provides a glimpse into a bygone era when literature played an essential role in documenting our rich cultural tapestry. The image showcases an exterior view of Iona Cathedral alongside St. Orans Chapel amidst ruins that bear witness to centuries past. A lone figure stands nearby, perhaps contemplating the significance of this hallowed ground or paying homage to those laid to rest here. As we gaze upon this engraving from over a century ago, we are reminded not only of Scotland's royal lineage but also its deep-rooted religious traditions. The mausoleum-like structures evoke both reverence for those who have passed on and admiration for architectural marvels crafted during medieval times. Let this photograph transport you back through time as you explore Britain's ancient burial sites and immerse yourself in the solemn beauty they hold within their walls.
