EDITORS COMMENTS
This aerial print, dated circa 1917, showcases the breathtaking view of Mont Orgueil Castle in Jersey, overlooking the picturesque Gorey Harbour. The castle, known as Château Dorgueille, was constructed predominantly in granite during the year 1204. Mont Orgueil, meaning 'Mount of God,' stands proudly on a rocky outcrop, its imposing silhouette a testament to the rich history of this enchanting island. The print reveals a curved row of quaint waterside houses nestled along the harbour, their vibrant colours adding a charming contrast to the castle's rugged stone walls. The tranquil harbour, dotted with boats, reflects the castle's grandeur, creating a scene that is both serene and majestic. Mont Orgueil Castle, a National Monument of Jersey, has played a significant role in the island's history, serving as a strategic stronghold during various invasions and conflicts. Its enduring presence continues to attract visitors from around the world, who come to marvel at its rich history and stunning beauty. This print, part of the March of the Women Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a unique perspective of this historic castle and the surrounding harbour. The September issue of Clements Hassell magazine, Volume [insert volume number here], features this image, inviting readers to explore the wonders of Mont Orgueil Castle and the charming town of Gorey.
