EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment during the construction of Coventry Cathedral in the 1960s. The image showcases two skilled craftsmen diligently fitting a stunning stained glass window, showcasing their expertise and dedication to their craft. The photograph is part of the Breaking New Ground Project, which was conducted in partnership with the John Laing Charitable Trust in 2019-20. It offers a unique glimpse into the intricate process involved in creating this architectural masterpiece. Set against the backdrop of a bustling building site, these men can be seen meticulously positioning each piece of glass with precision and care. Their focused expressions reveal their deep concentration as they work together to bring life to this magnificent structure. Coventry Cathedral holds great historical significance, having been rebuilt after its destruction during World War II. This image serves as a testament to both the resilience of humanity and our ability to create something beautiful out of devastation. As we admire this snapshot frozen in time, we are reminded not only of the craftsmanship required for such an undertaking but also of the countless individuals who contributed their skills and labor to make this vision come alive.
