EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken circa 1904, showcases the breathtaking silhouette of Leicester's St Mary's Church and the Castle Gateway as the sun sets over the historic English city. The golden hour casts a warm, stylish glow over the scene, with the shape of the church's tall, pointed spire and the intricate design of the castle gateway standing out against the pink and gold hues of the late evening sky. The artistic composition of this image, reminiscent of the works of renowned photographers such as Alfred Stieglitz and Edward Weston, invites viewers to appreciate the beauty and elegance of this architectural masterpiece. The silhouetted buildings and the delicate, wispy clouds add to the sense of serenity and tranquility, making this a truly timeless piece. Leicester, a city rich in history and culture, is beautifully represented in this photograph. St Mary's Church, a late Gothic Revival structure, has been a prominent landmark in the city since its completion in 1894. The castle gateway, a remnant of Leicester's medieval past, adds an air of mystery and intrigue to the scene. As the sun sets and the day comes to a close, the warm, golden light bathes the city in a soft, ethereal glow. This photograph captures the essence of a bygone era, inviting us to reflect on the past and appreciate the beauty of our surroundings.
