EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "Choir, Looking West, Tintern Abbey" takes us back to the late 19th century in Wales. The artist behind this masterpiece is Alexander Francis Lydon, who skillfully captures the essence of this historic architectural wonder. Featured in Frederick Ross's book "The Ruined Abbeys of Britain" this image showcases the interior of Tintern Abbey. As we gaze upon this monochrome scene, we are transported into a world where time seems to stand still. The abbey stands proudly amidst its overgrown surroundings, revealing the passage of centuries through its disrepair and ruins. A crescent moon hangs delicately in the night sky above, casting an ethereal glow on the ancient structure. The choir area takes center stage within the frame, emphasizing its significance as a place for religious worship and contemplation. The intricate details of the architecture highlight both craftsmanship and grandeur that were characteristic of Cistercian abbeys during their prime. Beyond being a mere depiction of physical remains from another era, this print evokes a sense of spirituality and introspection. It invites viewers to reflect on themes such as faith, literature, science (as symbolized by books), and our place within the vastness of the solar system represented by astronomy motifs. Lydon's talent shines through his ability to capture not only tangible elements but also intangible concepts like timelessness and decay. This print serves as a testament to both British heritage and artistic excellence while reminding
