The Broad Stone - A Symbol of Resilience in the Face of Adversity
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures the historic significance of The Broad Stone, located in East Retford, Nottinghamshire, England. Taken from "Old England: A Pictorial Museum" published in 1847 by an anonymous English School artist from the 19th century, this image transports us back to a time when communities faced unimaginable challenges. During the Great Plague of 1665, The Broad Stone served as a beacon of hope and survival for the people of East Retford. In exchange for food and goods, money previously immersed in vinegar was placed upon this very stone. This unique method aimed to prevent contamination and halt the spread of disease during one of history's deadliest pandemics. The photograph beautifully showcases not only the architectural charm but also highlights how humanity has always found innovative ways to adapt during times of crisis. It serves as a testament to our resilience and resourcefulness throughout history. As we gaze at this remarkable image captured by Ken Welsh and made available through Fine Art Finder without any commercial intentions or affiliations mentioned here, let us remember that even amidst darkness, there is always light - symbolized by The Broad Stone standing tall against all odds.
