About the Item

James Basire & Robert Blemmel Schnebbelie The Holy Sepulchre at Northwold in the county of Norfolk Engraving 45 x 60 cm This engraving was originally published by the Society of Antiquaries of London, an organisation dedicated to studying and preserving historical monuments. The society commissioned a series of architectural engravings by James Basire, this one based on a drawing by the English painter and illustrator Robert Blemmel Schnebbelie. In doing so, the Antiquaries hoped to preserve and disseminate knowledge of England’s architectural heritage. This particular edition depicts the Holy Sepulchre at Northwold in Norfolk. This sepulchre probably dated to the late 15th century and was used for the Deposition and Resurrection rituals on Good Friday and Easter Sunday-- an in depth commentary on such sepulchre in Norfolk was written by Veronica Sekules for the University of Missouri.
