EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the bustling marketplace of Arnhem, Netherlands, circa 1930. Standing tall and majestic in the background is the Groote Kerk (Great Church) of St Eusebius, a symbol of strength and spirituality for centuries. The photographer, Herbert Felton, skillfully captures the church's grandeur against a backdrop of everyday life. The Groote Kerk's towering presence dominates the frame, its intricate Gothic architecture reaching towards the heavens. Its spires pierce through the clouds as if trying to touch eternity itself. However, this image also carries a sense of melancholy as we learn that much of this magnificent tower was tragically destroyed during World War II. Despite its partial destruction, this photograph reminds us of both resilience and beauty amidst adversity. The contrast between light and shadow emphasizes every detail on the church's facade – from delicate carvings to soaring arches – showcasing its architectural splendor even in monochrome. As we gaze upon this historical snapshot frozen in time, we can't help but imagine all those who have passed through these doors seeking solace or celebrating joyous occasions throughout history. It serves as a powerful reminder that while buildings may crumble under duress, their spirit lives on within our memories and photographs like this one by Herbert Felton.
