EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Jonathan Bailey showcases the majestic Waverley Abbey, located in Surrey, England. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing image, our eyes are drawn to the remarkable ruins of what was once the first Cistercian abbey in all of England. Founded back in 1128, this medieval masterpiece holds a significant place in history and religion. The view captured here is from the southern side of the abbey buildings, offering a unique perspective on its grandeur. The crumbling stone walls stand as silent witnesses to centuries gone by, evoking a sense of awe and reverence for those who visit or simply admire it through this photograph. Jonathan Bailey's skillful composition allows us to appreciate every intricate detail that remains intact despite the passage of time. The play between light and shadow accentuates both the architectural beauty and decayed state of these monastic structures. As we reflect upon this image, we can't help but be transported back to an era when monks roamed these hallowed grounds, engaging in prayer and contemplation. It serves as a poignant reminder of how religious devotion shaped communities throughout history. Through his lens, Jonathan Bailey has immortalized not just a physical structure but also an intangible connection with our past. This print invites us to marvel at Waverley Abbey's enduring legacy while igniting our imagination about what life might have been like within its sacred walls so many centuries ago.
