EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning photograph captures the grandeur and historical significance of the East Front and Transept of Westminster Abbey in London, as it appeared in the year 1903. The image showcases the magnificent entrance to this iconic Gothic structure, with its intricately designed round window and two flying buttresses supporting the archway. The East Front, with its impressive doors, serves as the main entrance to the Abbey, welcoming visitors from around the world to bear witness to the rich history and tradition that lies within. The architectural masterpiece, which dates back to the 13th century, has played a pivotal role in the coronation and burial of British monarchs, as well as hosting numerous royal weddings. The round window, adorned with intricate stained glass, allows natural light to filter in, illuminating the grandeur of the entrance and adding to the awe-inspiring atmosphere. The two flying buttresses, a key feature of Gothic architecture, provide structural support to the walls and allow for the use of large expanses of glass, allowing light to penetrate the interior of the Abbey. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the timeless beauty and grandeur of Westminster Abbey, a true architectural and historical marvel that continues to captivate and inspire visitors to this day.
