Created by Charles Robert Cockerell and etched by William Richardson in 1841, this print showcases the brilliance and grandeur of Sir Christopher Wren's masterpieces. As we gaze upon this historical artwork, our eyes are immediately drawn to St Paul's Cathedral, standing tall and majestic at the center.
