C John M Whichelo, a talented artist of the 19th century, captured the essence of London's architectural beauty and historical significance through his remarkable works. In 1825, he skillfully depicted the interior of the Church of St Peter upon Cornhill, offering us a glimpse into its grandeur as we look eastwards. Another masterpiece from Whichelo is his portrayal of St Bartholomew-the-Great in 1803; this stunning piece showcases the church's magnificent architecture against the backdrop of City of London. Whichelo's artistic prowess extended beyond churches and cathedrals. His depiction of Strand in Westminster in 1810 transports us back to an era when horse-drawn carriages traversed these historic streets. Equally captivating is his painting capturing a ceremony held at Westminster Hall in 1811; it immerses us in the grandeur and splendor that once filled this iconic venue. Not limited to cityscapes alone, Whichelo also showcased other significant landmarks such as Westminster Abbey from the River Thames in 1804 by collaborating with fellow artist John Greig. Together they created a breathtaking image that highlights both architectural brilliance and natural beauty. Stepney Grammar School holds its place among Whichelo's subjects too – an institution steeped in history brought to life around c1840 by Charles Joseph Hullmandel under Whichelo’s guidance. The South view of Bishop Winchester's palace takes us on a journey through time to witness its magnificence during London’s past days. Eagle House at Brook Green stands tall amidst lush surroundings as portrayed by Day & Haghe under Whichelo’s direction circa 1810—a testament to their combined talent for capturing elegance within nature itself. The Hand and Shears Inn located at Cloth Fair offers insight into daily life during early-19th-century City of London—an inviting scene where locals gathered for camaraderie over drinks after long days' work. Whichelo's work also documents the changing landscape of London.
