EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Talbots Tower, a magnificent structure within the historic Falaise Castle. Taken in 1856 by renowned photographer Alfred Capel-Cure, this image transports us back to the 19th century, capturing the essence of British architecture and heritage. The tower stands tall against the backdrop of Basse Normandie's picturesque landscape. Its imposing presence reflects its rich history as a fortification and country house, once belonging to William Duke of Normandy, also known as William the Conqueror. This castle holds great significance as it was from here that Duke William set out on his conquest to become King William I of England. Capel-Cure's skilled photography captures every intricate detail of this stately home with precision. The monochromatic palette adds depth and timelessness to the image, allowing viewers to appreciate both its architectural beauty and historical importance. Preserved at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this photograph serves as a testament to Capel-Cure's talent in documenting Britain's cultural heritage through his lens. It invites us into a world where grand castles like Falaise were not just structures but symbols of power and legacy. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece captured over a century ago, we are reminded of our connection to history and how these architectural wonders continue to inspire awe today.
