EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-coloured etching & aquatint print takes us back to the year 1820, offering a glimpse into the serene interior of a small chapel nestled within Tynemouth Priory. The talented draughtsman Thomas M. Richardson Senior, accompanied by skilled aquatinter Daniel Havell, masterfully brings this medieval Gothic space to life. As we explore the image, our eyes are immediately drawn to the remarkable architectural details that define this religious sanctuary. The lierne vault above creates an intricate pattern of ribs and bosses on the vaulted ceiling, showcasing exquisite craftsmanship from centuries past. The play of light and shadow adds depth and mystique to the scene. Intriguingly, amidst this place of worship lies evidence of a military presence. Spears and polearms lean against barrels in what appears to be an arsenal corner. This juxtaposition between religious devotion and martial preparedness offers a unique insight into the historical context of Tynemouth Priory during its Georgian Regency period. The print transports us back in time, allowing us to envision soldiers clad in their 1810s uniforms standing guard or perhaps seeking solace within these hallowed walls before battle. It serves as a reminder that even places dedicated to spiritual contemplation can bear witness to human conflict. This engraving is not just a work of art but also an invaluable historical document that captures both architectural beauty and glimpses into society's multifaceted nature during one particular era - all preserved for generations thanks to Ty
