EDITORS COMMENTS
Harlech Castle, located in Harlech, Gwynedd, Wales, is a magnificent fortification that stands proudly along the coastline of the Irish Sea. This image, taken circa 1900, is part of the Box 2 Boswell Collection Series of Castles and Abbeys. The castle, a symbol of Wales' rich history and heritage, was built by Edward I of England in the late 13th century as part of his campaign to conquer Wales. Harlech Castle is renowned for its impressive location, perched atop a rocky outcrop overlooking the sea and the town below. The castle's imposing walls, towering turrets, and formidable gatehouse are a testament to the military might of the time. The castle's most famous feature, however, is its polygonal towers, which are unique in Welsh castle design. This lantern slide, taken over a century ago, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back in time to an era of chivalry, warfare, and grandeur. The image captures the castle's rugged beauty, with the blue-grey sea crashing against the base of the cliffs, and the lush green landscape stretching out towards the horizon. The castle's dark, imposing silhouette stands in stark contrast to the bright, sunlit sky, creating a breathtaking and unforgettable scene. Harlech Castle remains a popular tourist destination and a source of inspiration for artists, historians, and visitors alike. This image serves as a reminder of the enduring allure of Wales' historic sites and the importance of preserving them for future generations to enjoy.
