EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "King Charles visits Wren during the building of St Pauls" we are transported back in time to witness a momentous event in British history. The image, taken from Cassells History of the British People published by the Waverley Book Company Limited around 1940, beautifully captures the essence of an era long gone. The scene unfolds with King Charles II paying a visit to Sir Christopher Wren amidst the construction site of St Paul's Cathedral. As we gaze upon this remarkable sight, we cannot help but be awestruck by the grandeur and ambition that went into creating such an architectural masterpiece. The vibrant color litho adds depth and richness to every detail, allowing us to appreciate not only the intricate costumes worn by those present but also the sheer scale and complexity of this monumental project. It is as if we can almost hear the sounds of hammers striking stone and feel a sense of anticipation for what is yet to come. This photograph offers us a glimpse into both English history and architectural brilliance. We are reminded that even kings were captivated by Wren's vision and dedication to his craft. It serves as a testament not only to their shared admiration but also to their commitment in shaping London's iconic skyline. As we admire this piece from Bridgeman Images' collection, let us reflect on how art has preserved these significant moments for generations to come.
