EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Alfieri in 1925, we see The Reverend Dunstan Sargeant of St Dominics Priory, Hampstead, engrossed in a moment of discovery. Standing amidst the remnants of history, he gazes intently at the foundation stones of the Dominican Priory unearthed in Carter Lane. The image transports us back to a time when archaeology was not just a profession but an adventurous pursuit filled with excitement and wonder. The monochrome tones add depth and texture to the scene, emphasizing the gravity of this archaeological excavation. As we observe The Reverend Dunstan Sargeant's figure against the backdrop of rubble and ruins, it becomes evident that his role as clergy extends beyond spiritual guidance. With his clerical robes billowing gently in the wind, he embodies both faith and intellect as he delves into Europe's ancient past. This photograph serves as a testament to human curiosity and our innate desire to uncover secrets buried beneath layers of time. It reminds us that even within modern cities like London, fragments from centuries ago lie hidden beneath our feet waiting to be discovered. Alfieri's skillful composition captures not only an individual lost in contemplation but also invites us all to ponder upon our own connection with history. As we peer through this window into the 1920s era, we are reminded that every stone holds stories waiting patiently for someone like The Reverend Dunstan Sargeant to bring them back into light once
