EDITORS COMMENTS
This sepia drawing, titled "Rocester Churchyard - Cross" transports us back to the year 1832. Created by the talented artist John Chessell Buckler, this print measures 17.8x22.9 cm and showcases a remarkable scene in Rocester Church Yard, Staffordshire. The focal point of this drawing is an imposing cross that stands tall amidst the serene churchyard. The cross itself is crafted from a tapering stone adorned with intricate strips of fret decoration on its sides. It rests upon three steps and a graduated base, creating an aura of grandeur and significance. However, one cannot help but notice that the head of the cross is missing, adding an air of mystery to this composition. Despite its absence, the remaining structure exudes strength and resilience against time's relentless passage. Buckler's attention to detail shines through in every stroke of his pen or pencil as he masterfully captures not only the physical attributes but also the atmosphere surrounding this sacred site. Through his artistry, we are transported into a moment frozen in time—a glimpse into history where spirituality intertwines with architectural beauty. As we gaze upon this exquisite print from eWilliam Salt Library's collection, we are reminded of our connection to those who came before us—of their faith and devotion etched within these hallowed grounds. This artwork serves as both a testament to human craftsmanship and a window into centuries past—an invitation for contemplation and reflection on our own place within eternity.
