EDITORS COMMENTS
The engraving titled "Whit-Monday in the Clouds, a Sketch in the 'Cage' of the Monument" captures a fascinating moment in history. Created by William Bazett Murray, this print takes us back to Whit-Monday in 1874 when sightseers gathered at the iconic Monument in London. Intriguingly, this sketch showcases an unusual perspective - from within the "cage" that encloses the top of the monument. The cage was designed to prevent suicides and offered visitors a unique vantage point to observe their surroundings. Here, we see people peering through telescopes and binoculars, eagerly scanning the cloudy skies above. This scene is not just about leisurely sightseeing; it also holds historical significance. The Monument was built to commemorate one of London's most devastating events - The Great Fire of 1666. As such, it stands as a symbol of resilience and rebirth for the city. Murray's detailed portrayal highlights both scientific curiosity and meteorological interest prevalent during that era. With clouds dominating the sky, these onlookers are engaged in studying weather patterns and observing changes in climate – an early form of atmospheric science. This engraving offers us a glimpse into Victorian society's fascination with technology, nature, and exploration. It invites us to reflect on how our understanding of weather has evolved over time while reminding us that even amidst towering monuments and changing climates, human curiosity remains constant throughout history.
