EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back in time to the grandeur and opulence of Tudor England. The image showcases a remarkable detail view of the east face of the Great Gate at Trinity College, Cambridge. Standing proudly amidst intricate heraldic carvings is a magnificent statue of none other than King Henry VIII himself, carved by the skilled hands of William Cure the younger in 1615. Eric de Mare, an esteemed photographer known for his ability to capture architectural beauty, has expertly framed this shot to highlight every exquisite element. The photograph was taken between 1945 and 1980, allowing us a glimpse into this historical masterpiece during that period. The attention to detail evident in both the carving and photography leaves viewers mesmerized by the craftsmanship on display. As we gaze upon this image, we can almost feel ourselves transported back to a time when Henry VIII reigned supreme over England. Trinity College's Great Gate serves as an enduring symbol not only of architectural brilliance but also as a testament to one man's power and influence. This photograph immortalizes both its creator's talent and Eric de Mare's keen eye for capturing history through his lens. As we admire this stunning piece captured by Eric de Mare, let it serve as a reminder that even centuries later, art continues to bridge gaps between generations while preserving our rich cultural heritage.
