EDITORS COMMENTS
Westminster Abbey, London, c1930s: A Glimpse into Centuries of History This print by Donald McLeish transports us back to the 1930s, capturing the timeless beauty and grandeur of Westminster Abbey in London. The abbey's rich history dates back to the 7th or 8th century when a Benedictine monastery was established on this very site. However, it was Edward the Confessor who rebuilt an abbey here shortly before his passing. The significance of Westminster Abbey is unparalleled as it witnessed numerous historic events. On Christmas Day in 1066, William the Conqueror was crowned within its sacred walls, marking the beginning of a tradition that continues till today with English coronations taking place here (excluding Edward V and Edward VIII). The stunning Gothic architecture showcased in this print reveals the abbey's medieval charm and religious importance. Its construction began in 1245 and has stood strong ever since. The towering spires and intricate facade are testaments to human craftsmanship throughout centuries. As we gaze upon this colorful snapshot from McLeish's lens, we are reminded not only of its architectural magnificence but also its spiritual significance for Christianity. This iconic landmark has been a symbol of faith for generations. Let us cherish this remarkable piece that encapsulates both artistry and history—a window into a bygone era where faith met artistic brilliance amidst one of England's most cherished landmarks.
