EDITORS COMMENTS
The Landing of St. Augustine in Kent, (597AD), 1890: A Glimpse into the Birth of Christianity in Britain". This print captures a significant historical moment - the arrival of St. Augustine of Canterbury on the Isle of Thanet in AD597. The image showcases a group gathering on the coastal shores, depicting King Ethelberht and Queen Bertha eagerly awaiting the arrival of this renowned Benedictine monk. The scene is filled with anticipation as St. Augustine, known as the first Archbishop of Canterbury, steps ashore from his boat to embark upon his mission to spread Christianity throughout Britain. The solemnity and importance of this event are palpable through the expressions worn by those present. Intricately engraved details bring out every nuance, emphasizing both the architectural beauty surrounding them and their distinctive attire that reflects their roles within society during that era. This photograph hails from "Cassells Illustrated Universal History" an esteemed publication by Edmund Ollier dating back to 1890. It serves as a visual portal into an extraordinary period when religion was taking root in British soil. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece capturing a pivotal moment in history, we are reminded not only of St. Augustine's profound impact but also how faith has shaped our world over centuries past.
