EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the legendary consecration of Westminster Abbey, known as "The Fisherman's Vision". Steeped in history and folklore, this image takes us back to the year 616 when a shrine was first erected on what was then called Thorney Island. Over time, this sacred site became a place of pilgrimage for many. According to legend, it all began with a humble fisherman navigating the waters of the River Thames. In an extraordinary moment, he witnessed a vision of Saint Peter at this very spot. This divine encounter forever changed the destiny of Thorney Island and laid the foundation for what would become one of England's most iconic landmarks - Westminster Abbey. As we gaze upon this beautifully captured scene from The Illustrated London News in 1910, we are transported back in time to witness this historic event unfold before our eyes. The grandeur and significance of Westminster Abbey are palpable as we imagine pilgrims flocking to pay homage to their newfound spiritual sanctuary. Hilary Jane Morgan's artistic eye has masterfully preserved this pivotal moment in history through her lens. Her attention to detail allows us to appreciate not only the architectural splendor but also the profound impact that faith and belief can have on shaping our world. This print serves as a reminder that legends and visions can inspire awe-inspiring creations that withstand the test of time – just like Westminster Abbey itself.
