EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the historic town of Kings Lynn in 1687, beautifully captured by an English School artist from the 17th century. The marble relief panel, now housed at the Barbados Museum in Bridgetown, transports us back to a time when this coastal city was known as Lyn Regis. The intricate sculpture depicts a panoramic view of Kings Lynn's skyline and port, offering a glimpse into its rich British colonial history during the Stuart era. The detailed architecture and bustling cityscape evoke a sense of grandeur and maritime importance. Intriguingly, nestled within this picturesque scene is a putto figure symbolizing innocence or cherubic love. This charming addition adds an element of whimsy to an otherwise stately composition. The coastline stretches out beyond the city limits, reminding viewers of Kings Lynn's close relationship with the sea. Its strategic location as a port town played a significant role in shaping its identity and prosperity throughout history. Lucinda Lambton's expert photography brings this remarkable artwork to life once more, allowing us to appreciate not only its historical significance but also its artistic beauty. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing image, we are transported back centuries ago when Kings Lynn thrived as both a thriving urban center and an important hub for trade and commerce along the shoreline.
