EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Sir Christopher Wren's original model for St Paul's Cathedral in London, created between 1670 and 1672. The photograph was taken by Arthur Robertson as part of the illustrated edition of "A Short History of the English People" by J R Green, published in 1893. Wren was entrusted with the task of designing a replacement for the cathedral that had been destroyed during the devastating Great Fire of London. Construction on his masterpiece commenced in 1677 and reached completion on Wren's remarkable 76th birthday, October 20th, 1708. The image captures the intricate architectural design and grandeur of this iconic British landmark. With its towering dome and majestic exterior, St Paul's Cathedral stands as a testament to Wren's genius and vision. This magnificent structure has served as a symbol of Christianity throughout history, attracting visitors from all corners of the globe. Arthur Robertson skillfully captured every detail in this monochrome print, emphasizing both the beauty and historical significance of Wren's original model. The photograph transports viewers back to the seventeenth century when this architectural marvel began taking shape amidst England's bustling capital city. As we admire this print today, we are reminded not only of Sir Christopher Wren’s extraordinary contribution to British architecture but also John Richard Green’s dedication to documenting England’s rich heritage through his renowned publication.
