EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving captures the grandeur and intricacy of the newly installed Reredos of St. Paul's Cathedral in London, as it appeared in December 1888. The Reredos, a decorative screen or shrine behind the altar, is a key architectural and artistic feature of the cathedral. Designed by the renowned English architect Sir George Gilbert Scott and executed by the firm of Clayton and Bell, the Reredos was a significant addition to the cathedral, which had undergone extensive restoration and renovation in the late 19th century. The engraving, produced by the Illustrated London News, showcases the intricate carvings and sculptures that adorn the Reredos, depicting scenes from the life of St. Paul and other biblical stories. The central figure of St. Paul is prominently displayed, surrounded by angels and other saints. The intricate details of the stonework, gilding, and painting are beautifully rendered in this historical record. The installation of the Reredos marked an important moment in the history of St. Paul's Cathedral, which had been damaged during the Great Fire of London in 1666 and had undergone several restorations and modifications over the centuries. The Reredos served as a testament to the cathedral's rich history and its ongoing commitment to preserving and celebrating its religious and artistic heritage. This engraving provides a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a detailed and accurate record of the newly installed Reredos and the grandeur of St. Paul's Cathedral in the late 19th century.
