EDITORS COMMENTS
This sepia drawing captures the serene beauty of Patshull Church's interior, specifically highlighting the Astley tombs against its north wall. Created in the late 18th century by T. Carter, this print measures 22.9x40.6 cm and is housed at The William Salt Library in Stafford, UK. The artwork showcases two remarkable tomb structures within the church. The first is an altar tomb believed to belong to Richard Astley and his wife, dating back to 1522. Its intricate details and historical significance are evident even in this monochromatic rendering. Behind this tomb, against the wall, stands another grand structure dedicated to Sir Richard Astley, Bart. , and his two wives from 1687. This impressive monument pays homage to their memory with elaborate carvings and a sense of regality that adds depth to the composition. It is worth noting that an engraved and lettered copy of this drawing can be found in SV VII. 136 for further study or comparison purposes. As we gaze upon this print from Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we are transported back in time to witness these architectural marvels within Patshull Church—a testament not only to craftsmanship but also a window into history itself.
