EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the enchanting Crossraguel Abbey in Maybole, South Ayrshire, Scotland during the years 1924-1926. The artist behind this masterpiece is none other than Valentine & Sons, renowned for their exceptional craftsmanship. Crossraguel Abbey holds a rich history that dates back to its founding year of 1244 as a Cluniac monastery. However, it endured great turmoil when Edward I's English army attacked and pillaged it in 1307. Despite this setback, the abbey was rebuilt on an even grander scale but met its ultimate demise with the arrival of the Reformation in 1560. In this monochrome image captured by Valentine & Sons for Hutchinsons Britain Beautiful, we witness the haunting beauty of these medieval ruins nestled amidst Scotland's breathtaking landscape. The architectural details showcase elements from both Benedictine and Cluniac traditions, reflecting centuries of religious devotion. As we gaze upon this print, our minds are transported to a time long gone – an era filled with spiritual contemplation and unwavering faith. It serves as a poignant reminder of how religion shaped Scottish history and culture throughout the ages. Valentine & Sons' expertise shines through in every delicate brushstroke captured within this photograph. Their dedication to preserving heritage through artistry is evident here as they immortalize Crossraguel Abbey's timeless allure for generations to come.
