EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph print takes us back in time to the interior of St. Joseph's Chapel at Glastonbury Abbey, as it appeared in the 19th century. The image, captured from the crypt, showcases the intricately designed chapel that was discovered in 1825 beneath a Norman arch on the south side of the chapel. St. Joseph's Chapel is considered one of the finest examples of Anglo-Norman ecclesiastical architecture in the United Kingdom. The architect responsible for its completion adorned the chapel with small semicircular arches, intricately interlaced and covered with uniform fillets or mouldings of the richest and lightest zigzag pattern. The chapel, finished both within and without with the best skill, nicest art, and most correct taste, presents a stunning display of hand-carved semicircular arches and engravings. The chapel, built during the 12th century, holds significant historical and religious importance. Glastonbury Abbey, located in Somerset, England, is a popular tourist attraction and an essential part of British history. St. Joseph's Chapel is believed to have been built in honor of St. Joseph of Arimathea, a figure of great significance in Christian tradition. The chapel's intricate architecture and rich history make it a must-see for anyone interested in the Middle Ages, architecture, or religious sites. This photograph print, published in the Illustrated London News in 1850, offers a unique glimpse into the past and serves as a testament to the beauty and craftsmanship of the past.
