EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Altars found at Chester" takes us on a journey back in time to the 19th century. The engraving, created by an anonymous English School artist, showcases a collection of ancient altars discovered in Chester, England. These beautifully carved stone structures bear witness to the rich historical tapestry of Wales and its deep-rooted Welsh culture. The image is part of a private collection and was originally featured as an illustration for Thomas Pennant's book "Tours in Wales" published in 1883. It offers us a glimpse into the archaeological wonders unearthed during that era. The altars themselves are awe-inspiring, each one telling its own story through intricate carvings and inscriptions. They serve as tangible evidence of religious practices and beliefs held by our ancestors centuries ago. Chester, with its strategic location near the border between England and Wales, has long been an important hub for trade and cultural exchange. This photograph allows us to appreciate not only the historical significance of this city but also highlights the importance placed on preserving these artifacts for future generations. Through this image from Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we are reminded of how art can bridge gaps between different eras, allowing us to connect with our past while appreciating the beauty that lies within it.
