EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful print captures the solemn moment when Hewlett Johnson, the Dean of Canterbury, surveys the devastating damage inflicted upon the iconic cathedral by a German air raid during World War II. Taken in June 1942 by an English photographer, this image showcases both the destruction caused by war and the resilience of faith. The photograph depicts Dean Johnson standing amidst the ruins of what was once a magnificent architectural masterpiece. The cathedral's towering spires are reduced to rubble, its stained glass windows shattered, and its grandeur diminished. Clad in his religious robes, Dean Johnson symbolizes strength and hope as he gazes upon the wreckage with determination. This image serves as a poignant reminder of how conflict can ravage even sacred spaces. It highlights not only the physical destruction but also represents an attack on Christianity itself. Yet amid this devastation, there is a sense of defiance and unity within religion that endures. The print is part of a private collection and was featured in "The Second Great War: A Standard History". Its inclusion in this historical publication emphasizes its significance as a testament to Britain's resilience during one of its darkest periods. Through this image, we are transported back to that fateful day in June 1942 when war tore through Canterbury Cathedral. It stands as a tribute to those who fought for freedom and reminds us never to forget the sacrifices made during World War II.
