EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the 1920s showcases the magnificent ruins of Glastonbury Abbey in Somerset. The image, part of a GWR Publicity view, transports us back in time to an era when this historic site was already steeped in legend and mystery. As we gaze upon the monumental broken archway that dominates the foreground, our eyes are drawn further into the frame where King Arthur's Tomb and Abbey House await. The remnants of Glastonbury Abbey stand as a testament to its rich history and significance. Once a thriving religious institution, it now lies in picturesque decay, evoking a sense of awe and reverence for those who visit. The abbey's connection to King Arthur adds another layer of intrigue, as folklore suggests that he may have been buried here. In this snapshot frozen in time, we can almost hear whispers from centuries past echoing through these ancient stones. It is a reminder that even amidst ruin and desolation, beauty endures. The lush greenery surrounding the abbey serves as a stark contrast against its weathered facade – nature reclaiming what was once man-made. As we contemplate this photograph at STEAM Museum of the GWR, let us appreciate not only its aesthetic appeal but also its historical value. It allows us to glimpse into an era long gone while reminding us that legends like King Arthur continue to captivate our imaginations today.
