EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the West Gate of Canterbury in the late 19th to early 20th century. Standing tall at a height of 60 feet, this magnificent gate is constructed with Kentish ragstone and dates back to around 1379. It proudly remains as the sole survivor among Canterburys' seven medieval gatehouses, serving as a testament to the city's rich history. The hand-colored postcard showcases an enchanting avenue leading up to the Westgate Towers, nestled within the picturesque town walls of Canterbury, Kent. The image exudes a sense of tranquility and charm that transports viewers back in time to an era when horse-drawn carriages traversed its cobbled streets. As we gaze upon this historic scene, we are reminded of Canterbury's significance as one of Britain's most cherished destinations. Its medieval architecture and vibrant streets lined with shops evoke a nostalgic ambiance that continues to captivate visitors from all corners of the globe. The unknown creator behind this remarkable photograph has skillfully captured not only the physical beauty but also the essence and character of this walled city. This print serves as both a visual delight for admirers of British heritage and a window into our collective past—a reminder that even amidst modernity, traces of history can still be found if we take a moment to look closely.
