EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection transports us back in time to the hallowed halls of Westminster Abbey. The image showcases the renowned Poets Corner, a sacred space where literary giants find eternal rest. Standing proudly amidst this esteemed company is none other than George Washington, an unexpected but deserving addition to this illustrious group. The photographer behind this remarkable albumen silver print is George Washington Wilson, a Scottish artist whose keen eye and technical expertise are evident in every detail captured. Through his lens, we witness the grandeur of Westminster Abbey's architecture and feel its weighty history seep into our souls. Washington's presence here may come as a surprise to some, as he is best known for his pivotal role in American history rather than for his poetic prowess. However, it is precisely that significance which earned him a place among these celebrated wordsmiths. His leadership and vision shaped a nation and inspired countless others with his eloquent speeches and writings. As we gaze upon this evocative photograph, we cannot help but imagine Washington's spirit mingling with those of Chaucer, Shakespeare, Wordsworth, and Keats - all great minds who found solace within these walls. This image serves as a powerful reminder that art transcends borders and boundaries; it unites us through shared experiences and emotions. Whether you are an admirer of poetry or simply appreciate historical treasures like Westminster Abbey itself, this exquisite print offers an enchanting glimpse into both past greatness and enduring legacy
