EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the exquisite Cenotaph to James Thomson, a masterpiece created by M H Spang and designed by Robert Adam in 1762. The photograph was taken by an English photographer in the 20th century and is now part of a private collection. The cenotaph stands as a tribute to James Thomson, who passed away in 1748. Its intricate carving and meticulous craftsmanship are evident even in this monochromatic image. Located in Westminster Abbey, London, it serves as a solemn memorial for the renowned poet. The talented sculptor M H Spang brought Adam's design to life with exceptional skill. Every detail of this magnificent sculpture speaks volumes about Thomson's legacy and impact on literature. The Cenotaph to James Thomson not only graces Westminster Abbey but also finds mention in Albert Edward Bullock's book "Westminster Abbey and St Margarets Church". This particular print was featured as an illustration within its pages when it was published by J Tiranti in 1920. Bridgeman Images has preserved this remarkable piece of art history for us to admire today. It reminds us of the enduring power that sculptures hold as memorials, paying homage to individuals whose contributions have left an indelible mark on society.
