EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the serene beauty of the Choir at Rievaulx Abbey in North Yorkshire, England. Taken around 1880 by Alexander Francis Lydon, this image showcases the remarkable architecture and religious significance of this historic site. Rievaulx Abbey, a Cistercian monastery founded in the 12th century, stands as a testament to Britain's rich Christian heritage. Despite being captured during a period of disrepair in the late 19th century, its grand facade still exudes an air of majesty and resilience. The wood engraving featured in Frederick Ross' book "The Ruined Abbeys of Britain" transports us back to a time when these ruins were not only remnants but also symbols of spiritual devotion. The print collector William Mackenzie published this work in London in 1897. As we gaze upon this image, we are reminded of the enduring power that literature and art possess to preserve our cultural heritage. Through Lydon's lens, we witness both the physical remains and emotional echoes left behind by centuries past. This photograph serves as an invitation for contemplation - inviting us to reflect on our connection with history, religion, and architectural marvels like Rievaulx Abbey. It is a poignant reminder that even amidst ruin and decay, there is beauty waiting to be discovered if we take the time to look closely enough.
