EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, dating back to 1862, showcases The Church of the Messiah located at the corner of Broad-street and St. Peter's-place in Birmingham, England. The image reveals a grand architectural masterpiece, with a spired tower reaching an impressive height of 150ft. The architectural style is a fusion of geometrical and gothic elements, reflecting the Victorian Gothic and Neo-Gothic revival trends of the time. The entire structure is constructed from stone, and the two schoolrooms attached to the church can accommodate approximately 400 children. The cost of constructing this architectural marvel was around £10,000. The architect responsible for bringing this vision to life was Mr. Bateman, a renowned Birmingham-based architect, while Messrs. Branson and Gwyther served as the builders. The intricate details of the church's exterior, from the pointed arches to the ornate carvings, are evident in this engraved print, which was published in the esteemed Illustrated London News in 1862. The Church of the Messiah stands as a testament to the artistic and architectural achievements of the 19th century, representing the fusion of art, religion, and history.
