EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Beaumont Palace, a once majestic royal residence in Oxford. Built in the 12th century by Henry I, this architectural masterpiece stood as a symbol of power and grandeur. However, its fate took an unexpected turn when Edward II donated it to the Carmelites for use as a monastery. Sadly, after the Dissolution of the Monasteries, Beaumont Palace fell into ruin. The remnants of this historic site were eventually dismantled to provide building materials for Christ Church and St Johns College. By 1820, nothing remained but memories etched into history. In this engraving by Hawkins, we are transported back in time to witness the beauty that once graced these grounds. The intricate details of the palace's structure evoke a sense of awe and wonder at medieval craftsmanship. The image also serves as a reminder of how religious institutions played a significant role in shaping our cultural landscape. The Carmelite presence at Beaumont Palace adds another layer to its rich history. As we gaze upon this monochrome depiction, we can't help but feel a sense of melancholy for what has been lost over centuries. Yet through prints like these from The Print Collector collection, we have an opportunity to preserve and appreciate our heritage even when physical remnants fade away with time.
