EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a rubbing of a medieval engraved brass from the year 1421. The artwork, originally featured in The Connoisseur magazine in December 1901, depicts an important historical monument: the tombstone of Thomas Camoys and his wife Elizabeth Mortimer. Thomas Camoys was not only a nobleman but also a wise counselor to the King and Kingdom of England during that era. He held the prestigious title of Lord of Camoys and was recognized as a valiant knight of the Garter order. His consort, Elizabeth Mortimer, played an equally significant role as his loyal wife. The image exudes an air of solemnity and reverence as it captures this intricate piece of Gothic artistry within a church setting. It serves as both a commemoration for these influential figures and symbolizes their devout Christian faith. As we delve into history through this photograph, we are transported back to medieval England – an era characterized by chivalry, religious devotion, and societal hierarchy. This print offers us glimpses into the lives of Thomas Camoys and Elizabeth Mortimer while reminding us about the importance placed on marriage bonds during that time. Through its monochromatic charm, this image invites contemplation on themes such as life's transience, mortality, and spiritual beliefs prevalent in medieval society. It is truly remarkable how one photograph can encapsulate centuries worth of stories within its frame - tales that continue to captivate our imagination even today.
