EDITORS COMMENTS
In this engraving by William Henry Margetson, we are transported back in time to witness a momentous event in history. The image depicts King Edward the Confessor, with an air of regal authority, observing the construction of Westminster Abbey. As one of London's most iconic landmarks, the abbey holds great significance for both its architectural grandeur and religious importance. The artist skillfully captures the awe-inspiring scene as workers diligently labor to erect this magnificent structure. Their meticulous attention to detail is evident in every stroke of Margetson's engraving. The image exudes a sense of reverence and admiration for the craftsmanship that went into building such a monumental edifice. King Edward himself appears deeply engrossed in contemplation as he watches his vision come to life before his eyes. His presence adds an aura of solemnity and spiritual significance to the scene, emphasizing his role as a devout ruler dedicated to strengthening England's ties with Christianity. This print was originally created as an illustration for H. D. M Spence's book "The Church of England" published by Cassell in 1905. It serves not only as a visual representation but also as a historical record documenting this pivotal moment in British history. Thanks to digital restoration techniques, this image has been brought back to life with remarkable clarity and vibrancy. Its inclusion within private collections ensures that future generations can appreciate and marvel at the legacy left behind by King Edward and those who contributed their skills towards creating Westminster Abbey – an enduring symbol
