EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "St. Peters in the East, Oxford, 1859" transports us back to a bygone era of architectural grandeur and religious significance. Captured by the talented photographer Alfred Capel-Cure, this image showcases the ruins of St. Peters in the East, a church steeped in history and nestled amidst nature's embrace. The scene unfolds with solemn beauty as we witness the roofless structure standing proudly against time's relentless march. The gravestones scattered throughout the cemetery serve as poignant reminders of lives once lived and souls laid to rest. Nature gracefully intertwines with man-made structures; trees sway gently while plants reclaim their place among crumbling walls. Alfred Capel-Cure skillfully captures this panoramic view from High Street Oxford, allowing us to appreciate both the intricate details of Gothic architecture and its harmonious integration into its surroundings. Through his lens, he invites us to contemplate themes such as religion, heritage art, and mortality that resonate within these ancient walls. As we gaze upon this remarkable print at The Metropolitan Museum of Art or any other esteemed collection fortunate enough to house it, we are transported not only through space but also through time – connecting with our ancestors who once sought solace within these hallowed grounds. In preserving this moment frozen in history for generations to come, Alfred Capel-Cure immortalizes St. Peters in the East as an enduring symbol of British heritage and spirituality entwined with nature's eternal cycle.
