In the Second World War it was gutted by fire during the Blitz in 1940-41 and was later rebuilt after the war with work starting in 1953.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the resilience and history of St Paul's Cathedral in the heart of London. Standing tall amidst a bomb-damaged landscape, it showcases the enduring strength of this iconic landmark. In the foreground, we see the Church of St Verdast-alias-Foster, which was reconstructed by Christopher Wren after being ravaged by the Great Fire of London in 1666. However, tragedy struck again during World War II when it fell victim to fire during the devastating Blitz bombings in 1940-41. The church was later rebuilt starting from 1953, symbolizing hope and renewal rising from ashes. St Paul's Cathedral itself managed to survive these bombing raids, becoming a beacon of hope for Londoners during those dark times. Sadly, surrounding buildings were not as fortunate and were reduced to rubble by high explosives and incendiary bombs. This image serves as a poignant reminder of both loss and resilience; a testament to how historical treasures can withstand even the harshest trials. Charles William Prickett skillfully captured this momentous scene with his lens, allowing us to reflect on our shared history while appreciating the architectural marvels that have endured throughout time.
