EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the solemn beauty of the Tomb of Sir George Villiers and his wife Mary, Countess of Buckingham, located in St. Nicholas Chapel within Westminster Abbey. The image, taken by Frederick Henry Evans, showcases the intricate details of this medieval funerary monument. Sir George Villiers was an influential Elizabethan politician who married Mary Beaumont, later becoming the Countess of Buckingham. Their son would go on to become the first Duke of Buckingham.

The photograph highlights the grandeur of this historical site with its armor-clad effigies resting atop an ornate altar tomb. It offers a glimpse into a bygone era when nobility held great power and influence in English society. Evans' skillful use of photography adds depth and texture to this image, emphasizing both the somberness and timelessness inherent in such monumental memorials. The composition draws attention to every intricate detail - from the delicate carvings on the effigies to the architectural elements surrounding them. This print serves as a visual reminder of England's rich history and cultural heritage preserved within Westminster Abbey's hallowed walls.
