EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the enchanting Little Maplestead Church in Essex, beautifully engraved by Henry Wallis in 1832. The Church of St. John the Baptist, depicted here, is a remarkable sight as one of only four surviving round churches in all of Britain. Originally constructed by the Knights of St. John of Jerusalem around 1340, this architectural gem underwent extensive rebuilding during the 19th century. Henry Wallis masterfully captures the essence and grandeur of this historic structure with his intricate engravings. The circular nave and exquisite details are brought to life through his skilled craftsmanship, allowing viewers to appreciate its unique beauty. The image transports us back in time to an era when knights roamed these hallowed grounds and worshippers sought solace within its sacred walls. The chapel's location near a serene river adds to its picturesque charm, creating a tranquil atmosphere that invites contemplation and reflection. Little Maplestead Church stands as a testament to both medieval architecture and the enduring legacy of the Knights Hospitallers who once called it their spiritual home. This print serves as a reminder of our rich history and cultural heritage while celebrating Wallis' talent for capturing moments frozen in time.
