EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving showcases the interior of the Baltimore Catholic Cathedral, a historic Neoclassical masterpiece located in Baltimore, Maryland, United States. Constructed between 1806 and 1821 under the architectural guidance of Benjamin Henry Latrobe, this temple marks the first great metropolitan cathedral erected in the US following the adoption of the Constitution. The intricate design, as depicted in this panoramic view by Lefuel and Darau, reflects the early 19th-century Roman Catholic influence in America. The interior boasts an impressive altar, flanked by ornate columns, and a grand dome adorned with intricate details. Benches fill the pews, inviting the faithful to gather for prayer and reflection. The crucifix, a central focus of the cathedral, stands tall against the backdrop of the altar, symbolizing the deep-rooted faith and devotion of the community. This engraving, originally published in the 1837 first edition of Jean B.G. Roux de Rochelle's "Etats-Unis d'Amerique," offers a glimpse into the rich history of American religious architecture. The Neoclassical style, evident in the columns and dome, reflects the European influence on early American design. The Baltimore Catholic Cathedral remains an enduring testament to the religious and architectural heritage of the United States.
