EDITORS COMMENTS
Paul's Cross: A Historical Landmark of 17th Century London Facing Demolition (1643) Paul's Cross, depicted in this evocative image from the 17th century, was a significant historical site in London that served as a popular venue for public sermons and political speeches. Located near St. Paul's Cathedral, the site was a gathering place for the city's residents, who would flock to hear prominent preachers of the day deliver their sermons on various social, religious, and political issues. The print offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the bustling crowd that once gathered at Paul's Cross. The image captures the sense of community and the importance of public discourse during this era. However, this historical landmark was not destined for a long life. In 1643, a vote by Parliament led to its demolition. The reasons for the destruction of Paul's Cross are complex and multifaceted. Some historians argue that the site was demolished to make way for the expansion of St. Paul's Cathedral, while others suggest that it was a deliberate attempt to suppress dissenting voices and control the flow of information in the city. Regardless of the motivations behind its demolition, Paul's Cross stood as a symbol of the vibrant and dynamic public life of 17th century London, a time when the exchange of ideas and the power of the spoken word held great significance. This print serves as a poignant reminder of the rich history of Paul's Cross and the role it played in shaping the cultural and political landscape of London during the 17th century. Its demolition marked the end of an era, but the legacy of Paul's Cross continues to inspire and intrigue historians, scholars, and visitors to this day.
