St Paul's Cathedral, City of London, 1710 - A Glimpse into the Architectural Marvels of the Past
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print takes us back to the early 18th century, offering a remarkable view of St Paul's Cathedral in the heart of London. The image is part of William Morgan's map titled "London Actually Survey'd" first published in 1682. However, due to Sir Christopher Wren keeping his design for the cathedral dome a secret, Morgan had to rely on his imagination when depicting it. The print showcases not only St Paul's Cathedral but also other iconic landmarks surrounding it. On the left side, we can admire both the south prospect of the Royal Exchange and Guildhall—testaments to London's bustling financial district. Meanwhile, on the right side stands Charles II's statue from Stocks Market—a reminder of England's royal heritage. St Paul’s Cathedral itself stands tall and majestic at its center—an embodiment of Christian faith and architectural brilliance. Its grandeur is beautifully captured in this monochrome engraving that highlights every intricate detail. As we gaze upon this historical artwork, we are transported back in time—immersing ourselves in an era where religion played a central role in society and magnificent structures like St Paul’s Cathedral were revered as symbols of national pride. This print serves as a testament to Britain’s rich history and architectural achievements while reminding us that even centuries later, these awe-inspiring creations continue to captivate our imaginations with their timeless beauty.
