EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate design of an unrealised baptistery for St. Paul's Cathedral, created by the renowned architect Nicholas Hawksmoor in 1711-12. The image beautifully captures the elevation, cross-section, and plan of this architectural marvel, revealing a harmonious blend of pen and ink wash on paper. Hawksmoor's visionary creation is a testament to his mastery in classical architecture. The drawing highlights the grandeur of the structure with its majestic columns and domed roof that exude elegance and sophistication. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every stroke, as he meticulously portrays each element of this unrealised masterpiece.

Its colonnade adds depth and dimension to the composition while creating a sense of balance and symmetry. This remarkable piece serves as a reminder of London's rich architectural heritage.
