EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the Hunslet Parish Church, St. Mary's in 1862, as depicted by Edward Lancaster. The artwork, created with watercolors on paper and measuring 35x25 cm, is housed at Leeds Museums and Art Galleries (Abbey House Museum) in the UK. The inscription on the reverse of the print reveals a fascinating history behind this church. It states that this very church was demolished in 1862 to make way for a new one. Interestingly, Lancaster himself served as both organist and choirmaster at the new church for an impressive span of 31 years until his retirement in 1900. He also held the position of deputy organist at the old church. The image showcases various elements of architectural beauty associated with English parish churches during the Victorian era. The bell tower stands tall against a picturesque backdrop, while gravestones dotting the cemetery add a sense of solemnity to this religious site. Bridgeman Images has skillfully preserved this historical gem from Fine Art Finder's collection without any commercial intentions mentioned here. This remarkable piece offers viewers an opportunity to delve into Hunslet's rich heritage and appreciate its ecclesiastical architecture through Lancaster's masterful painting technique captured on paper over a century ago.
