EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning 18th century print depicts the front elevation of St. Paul's Cathedral in London, a masterpiece of architectural design and historical significance. The cathedral, designed by Christopher Wren after the Great Fire of London in 1666, is a true testament to the grandeur and resilience of the city. The print, drawn and engraved by P. Giarre from Giulio Ferrario's "Costumes Ancient and Modern of the Peoples of the World," published in Florence in 1847, showcases the cathedral in all its glory. The intricate details of the facade, with its Doric columns and ornate carvings, are beautifully rendered in the copperplate technique. The dome, a symbol of London's skyline and an engineering marvel of its time, dominates the image, its golden cross gleaming in the sun. The print also offers a glimpse into the fashion of the time, with figures in period attire dotted around the scene. The women in their voluminous skirts and high-waisted bodices, and the men in their breeches and waistcoats, add a touch of historical context to the image. St. Paul's Cathedral has undergone numerous restorations and renovations over the centuries, but this print offers a unique glimpse into its past, capturing the essence of the cathedral as it looked in the 18th century. A must-have for history buffs, architecture enthusiasts, and anyone with an appreciation for the beauty and richness of London's past.
