EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Old St Paul's: Title page (engraving)" takes us back to the 17th century, immersing us in a historical journey through time. The intricate engraving, created by Browne, Hablot Knight (Phiz), captures the grandeur and significance of Old Saint Paul's Cathedral in London. The image transports us to an era marked by great events and cultural shifts. It evokes memories of the devastating plague that swept through Europe during this period, leaving its mark on society. The illustration also alludes to the infamous Great Fire of London in 1666, which engulfed much of the city but spared this magnificent cathedral. Through delicate lines and meticulous details, we witness a fusion of English literature and history coming together. This engraving was originally featured as the title page for William Harrison Ainsworth's novel "Old Saint Pauls" published around 1890. As we admire this artwork, it is impossible not to appreciate its connection with German culture. With references to Germany scattered throughout – from Germanic influences on architecture to mentions of North Germany – it serves as a reminder of how European cultures have intertwined over centuries. Intriguingly layered with symbolism and historical context, this print invites us into a world where art meets history. It reminds us that even today, these visual representations continue to captivate our imagination and provide glimpses into our rich past.
