EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the enchanting town of Winchelsea in 1898. The image showcases the Grade I listed Strand Gate, a magnificent medieval structure built in the 13th century to protect the entrance to Winchelsea on the River Brede. Standing proudly against a backdrop of city walls and surrounded by an overgrown avenue, this gate is a testament to both architectural brilliance and historical significance. The unknown creator of this print has beautifully captured the essence of this ancient town, transporting us through time with their skilled engraving. As we gaze upon this scene from "Our Own Country, Volume VI" published by Cassell and Company Ltd. , we are reminded of Britain's rich heritage and its deep connection to its past. A lone figure stands near the gate, adding a sense of scale and emphasizing the grandeur of this defensive structure. The man's presence evokes curiosity about his purpose there - perhaps he is a local resident or an intrigued visitor exploring Winchelsea's history. With its ruined charm, coastal location, and picturesque streets lined with historic buildings like these gates, it is no wonder that Winchelsea remains a popular tourist attraction even today. This print serves as both a visual delight for art enthusiasts and an invitation for travelers seeking to immerse themselves in England's captivating past.
