EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Picturesque Bits from Easby Abbey, 1898" takes us back in time to the enchanting ruins of Premonstratensian Easby Abbey. Founded in 1152, this abbey located in Richmond, North Yorkshire was once a thriving center of Christian spirituality and artistic expression. The image showcases the remarkable 13th-century wall paintings that adorned the abbey's walls, providing a glimpse into its rich history. The intricate details and skillful craftsmanship of these artworks are evident even through the monochromatic lens. Easby Abbey's fate took a tragic turn during the dissolution of the monasteries by King Henry VIII in the late 1530s. Left abandoned and left to ruin, it now stands as a poignant reminder of England's religious heritage. The photograph is sourced from "Our Own Country, Volume VI" published by Cassell and Company Ltd. in London, Paris & Melbourne in 1898. It offers viewers an opportunity to travel back to Victorian times when such picturesque sights were highly sought after by tourists eager for cultural exploration. As we gaze upon this evocative image captured by an unknown creator, we can't help but feel drawn into its beauty and historical significance. It serves as both a testament to human creativity and resilience while also reminding us of our collective responsibility to preserve our architectural treasures for future generations.
