EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the enchanting ruins of Furness Abbey, captured around 1870. Once a thriving Catholic monastery in Barrow-in-Furness, Cumbria, this architectural marvel dates all the way back to 1123. At its peak, it was considered the second-wealthiest and most powerful monastery in the entire country before meeting its demise during the English Reformation. The image showcases the abbey's impressive arched entranceway, adorned with intricate details that speak volumes about its historical significance. The Grade I listed status bestowed upon certain parts of this magnificent structure is a testament to its enduring beauty and cultural importance. As we gaze at this photograph from "Picturesque Europe - The British Isles" we can't help but feel transported to a different era. The abandoned abbey stands as a symbol of both religious devotion and turbulent times in British history. The overgrown surroundings add an air of mystery and intrigue to this scene, inviting us to contemplate centuries gone by. It serves as a reminder that even amidst decay and abandonment, there is still immense beauty waiting to be discovered. Through this lens into the past, we are reminded of King Henry VIII's dissolution of monasteries in 1540—a pivotal event that forever altered England's religious landscape. This print captures not only architecture but also literature and artistry intertwined with history itself—a true treasure for any lover of European heritage.
