EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the enchanting Valley of Glendalough in County Wicklow, Ireland. The image, captured in 1898 by an unknown creator, showcases the breathtaking landscape that has made this glacial valley renowned throughout history. Glendalough holds a significant place in Irish heritage as it is home to an Early Medieval monastic settlement founded by St Kevin in the 6th century. This ancient site is shrouded in mystery and spirituality, attracting visitors from all over the world. The print comes from "Our Own Country, Volume V" a book published by Cassell and Company Ltd. during the late 19th century. It offers a glimpse into a time when Victorian travelers sought adventure and discovery amidst stunning natural scenery. In this particular image, we see gravestones scattered across the graveyard surrounding St Kevin's monastery. These weathered markers serve as reminders of lives lived long ago but still reverberating through history. The picture captures not only the historical significance of Glendalough but also its awe-inspiring beauty. The rugged mountains form a majestic backdrop while lush greenery flourishes below. It transports us to another era where nature intertwined with human existence in perfect harmony. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing vista frozen in time, we can't help but feel connected to both past and present – linked through our appreciation for Ireland's rich cultural heritage and its enduring landscapes like Glendalough.
