EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print that showcases the visionary design of architect Francis Goodwin. In this colour lithograph, we are transported back to the early 19th century when Goodwin conceived an ambitious plan for a grand cemetery around Primrose Hill in London. The image reveals an inner region spanning 42 acres, meticulously designed to house exact replicas of famous Greek and Roman temples. The attention to detail is evident as we observe caryatids gracefully supporting structures and intricately carved capitals adorning majestic mausoleums. This neo-classical necropolis stands as a testament to Goodwin's dedication to architectural excellence. The proposed cemetery was intended not only as a final resting place but also as an improvement on the cityscape. With its metropolitan allure and classical influences, it would have added beauty and elegance to London's urban fabric. One cannot help but be drawn into the mesmerizing world depicted in this print – a harmonious blend of ancient architecture and modern vision. The inclusion of iconic structures such as the Erechtheion demonstrates Goodwin's commitment to authenticity while creating something entirely new. As we gaze upon "The Proposed Grand National Cemetery" we are reminded of the power of human imagination and our eternal quest for immortality through art and design. This image invites us to contemplate life, death, and the enduring legacy left behind by those who came before us.
