EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from the 1830s showcases the City Cross Winchester, a magnificent structure that stood at the heart of the bustling commercial trading district. The artist, Owen Brown Carter, captures every intricate detail of this 15th-century holy cross adorned with statues of saints and the Virgin Mary. Engraved by J. Le Kuex for "Picturesque Memorials of Winchester" this print transports us back in time to an era where religion and trade intertwined seamlessly. The City Cross served as a symbol of Christian faith amidst a thriving marketplace. The image reveals a vibrant scene filled with activity. People ascend its steps, going about their daily business while surrounded by pinnacles representing various saints. It is evident that commerce thrived around this sacred monument, as traders exchanged goods such as butter in what was known as the Buttercross Market. Winchester's rich religious heritage is beautifully showcased through this engraving. With its detailed depiction of English architecture and religious symbolism, it offers viewers a glimpse into both history and spirituality. Bridgeman Images has preserved this remarkable piece of artistry from centuries past. As we admire it today, we are reminded not only of Winchester's historical significance but also how deeply ingrained Christianity was in everyday life during that period.
