EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in the year 1883, showcases the historic Guildhall in Cambridge, England, with its iconic guardian figure, Magog, standing proudly by its entrance. The Guildhall, a significant architectural landmark and a symbol of the city's rich history, has been a central part of Cambridge's civic life for centuries. Magog, one of the two legendary giants said to have once guarded the city, is depicted here in all his glory. According to local folklore, Magog and his brother, Moggeridge, were the sons of the legendary King Leir, who were transformed into giants and placed as guardians of Cambridge. The story goes that they were later killed by Saint Edmund, the patron saint of East Anglia, during a battle in the 9th century. The Guildhall, which has been the venue for various civic ceremonies and meetings since the Middle Ages, underwent a major restoration in the late 19th century, during which this photograph was taken. The intricate details of the building's architecture, including the ornate carvings and the impressive stonework, are beautifully captured in this image. Magog, standing tall and imposing, adds a sense of history and mystery to the scene. His presence serves as a reminder of the city's past, its legends, and the stories that have shaped its identity. This photograph, therefore, not only showcases the architectural beauty of the Guildhall but also transports us back in time, allowing us to witness a piece of Cambridge's fascinating history.
