EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the haunting beauty of the ruins of the cathedral and St Martins Cross in Iona, Argyll and Bute, Scotland. Taken in the late 19th century by renowned artist George Washington Wilson, this stereoscopic card transports us back to a time when these ancient structures stood tall against the Scottish landscape. The image showcases a group of men standing amidst the remnants of what was once a grand religious building. Their presence adds a sense of scale to the scene, emphasizing just how imposing these ruins must have been. The stone walls that still stand proudly testify to centuries of history and faith. Iona holds great significance in both Scottish and Christian history, known as an important center for Christianity since medieval times. The ruined cathedral is a testament to its past glory while St Martins Cross stands as an enduring symbol of religious devotion. The monochrome aesthetic lends an air of nostalgia to this photograph, transporting viewers back to Victorian or Edwardian times when it was taken. It serves as a reminder that even in ruin, these structures continue to inspire awe and reverence. As we gaze upon this print from Underwood & Underwood's collection curated by The Print Collector, we are reminded not only of Scotland's rich heritage but also our own connection with spirituality and human endeavor throughout history.
