EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Christopher Wren's initial design for the magnificent St. Paul's Cathedral, following the devastating Great Fire of London. Published in William Hickman Smith Aubrey's "The National and Domestic History of England" around 1890, this lithograph offers a glimpse into the architectural genius of Sir Christopher Wren. Wren, one of Britain's most renowned architects, presented five different designs for the new cathedral after its destruction in 1666. This particular engraving captures his first concept, which ultimately served as the foundation for the iconic structure we know today. English Baroque architecture takes center stage in this image as intricate details adorn every inch of the facade. The dome stands tall and proud against a backdrop of clear skies, symbolizing hope and resilience amidst tragedy. Transporting us back to the 17th century, this photograph print allows us to appreciate Wren's vision and craftsmanship. It serves as a testament to human ingenuity and determination to rebuild even in times of adversity. As we gaze upon this historic masterpiece captured by Ken Welsh, we are reminded that art has an incredible power to preserve history and inspire generations to come.
