EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "St Georges Bloomsbury, 1799" showcases the architectural marvel that is St Georges Bloomsbury church in London. The print, created by Thomas Malton Jnr. , takes us back to the late 18th century when this magnificent structure stood tall amidst a fashionable street scene. Built by Nicholas Hawksmoor and completed in 1731, St Georges Bloomsbury boasts an impressive steeple adorned with a statue of George I dressed in Roman attire. Inspired by Pliny's account of the Halicarnassus Mausoleum, the steeple takes on a unique stepped pyramid design that adds grandeur to its already striking presence. The image captures not only the beauty of this Georgian-era church but also offers a glimpse into daily life during that time. Corinthian columns grace its entrance portico as pedestrians pass by on Bloomsbury Way, going about their business while being reminded of their religious devotion. As we admire this historical artwork from our private collection, it serves as a window into both architectural excellence and societal norms of yesteryears. This engraving was originally featured in Malton's Picturesque Tour series, showcasing his talent for capturing picturesque scenes across England. Let this enchanting print transport you to an era where religion intertwined with fashion and city life harmoniously coexisted under the watchful eye of St Georges Bloomsbury.
