EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the magnificent Walmer Castle, a historic artillery fort located in Walmer, Kent. Originally constructed by King Henry VIII between 1539 and 1540, this fortified structure stands as a testament to England's rich architectural heritage. The artist behind this stunning depiction is Charles Wilkinson, who beautifully captures the castle's grandeur and charm. The image itself is a reproduction of a photograph taken by Poulton & Son, featured in Cassells History of England, Vol. VI. This particular print transports us back to c1890 when it was created by A. W. Cowan for Cassell & Company Limited. In the foreground of the picture are two figures - a woman and a man - adding life and scale to the scene. They appear engrossed in conversation or perhaps admiring the castle's splendor together. Surrounding them are lush green grounds with meticulously trimmed hedges and vibrant plant life that further enhance the beauty of this historical site. Walmer Castle's facade dominates the background with its impressive architecture dating back centuries ago; it serves as an enduring symbol of power and strength from both the sixteenth century reign of King Henry VIII to nineteenth-century England. This evocative print offers viewers an opportunity to immerse themselves in history while appreciating both nature's beauty and human craftsmanship at its finest.
