EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving captures the breathtaking interior of the East Transept of St. Paul's Cathedral in London, as it appeared in December 1860, following significant modifications to this historic part of the cathedral. The East Transept, located on the north side of the cathedral, underwent important changes during the mid-19th century to enhance its architectural beauty and spiritual significance. The image reveals the intricate details of the East Transept's interior, with its magnificent arches, elegant columns, and ornate decorations. The natural light streaming in from the large stained-glass windows illuminates the space, casting a warm, inviting glow over the stone walls. The sense of grandeur and awe is palpable, as one can imagine the hushed whispers of worshippers and the echoes of their prayers bouncing off the walls. The modifications made to the East Transept were part of a larger restoration project undertaken by Sir George Gilbert Scott, who served as the cathedral's architect from 1836 to 1877. Scott's work aimed to restore the cathedral to its original Gothic splendor, while also addressing the structural issues that had arisen over the centuries. The East Transept, in particular, underwent extensive renovations, including the installation of new stonework, the addition of new windows, and the creation of a new chapel dedicated to St. Michael and All Angels. This engraving offers a glimpse into the rich history of St. Paul's Cathedral and the dedication of those who have worked to preserve its beauty and spiritual significance for generations to come. The East Transept, with its stunning architecture and spiritual allure, remains a testament to the enduring power of faith and the human spirit.
