EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Lily Font" with utmost elegance. Created in 1953 by the renowned artist Edward Barnard and Sons, this exquisite piece is a part of the Royal Collection at the iconic Tower of London. The photograph, featured in Martin Holmes' book "The Crown Jewels" captures every intricate detail of this remarkable work. In this close-up shot, we witness a harmonious blend of religion and art. A group of people surrounds the font, engrossed in playing enchanting music on their stringed instruments, including a majestic harp. The scene exudes an aura of religious significance as cherubs or putti adorn the font's decorative structure. "The Lily Font" itself stands as a symbol of opulence and status within British history. Crafted during the 19th century, its silver gilt finish adds to its regal allure. This image transports us back to the mid-20th century when it was captured by Martin Holmes for posterity.
