EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of history and nature intertwined. Standing tall in the serene vicarage garden at St Stephens Church, St Albans, is a magnificent old cedar tree - claimed to be the oldest in the kingdom. Its ancient presence dates back over 400 years, with its main trunk boasting an impressive circumference of just under 25 ft. The significance of this majestic cedar goes beyond its age and size. It holds a place in local records as it witnessed a momentous event - beneath its sprawling branches, King Henry VIII is said to have met Anne Boleyn before their marriage. The tree's roots are deeply entwined with tales of love and royalty. Captured through the lens by Alfieri in the monochrome beauty of the 1920s, this photograph exudes a timeless charm that transports us back to an era where nature reigned supreme. The intricate details showcased on this print highlight not only the grandeur of this ancient cedar but also pay homage to its enduring strength as one of nature's wonders. As we gaze upon this remarkable image, we can't help but marvel at how such a simple subject like a tree can hold so much history within its bark. This photograph serves as a reminder that even amidst changing times, there are still remnants from centuries past that continue to stand tall and inspire awe-struck admiration for generations to come.
