EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite "New Mosaics at St Pauls Cathedral" captured by an English Photographer in the 19th century. The image, part of a private collection, was originally published as an illustration for The Illustrated London News on June 8,1895. The photograph transports us back in time to witness the grandeur of St Paul's Cathedral adorned with intricate mosaics. On the south side of this iconic place of worship, we see a stunning mosaic depicting various scenes from creation and featuring angelic figures. Among them is King David playing his harp, adding a touch of regality to this divine artwork. The artist responsible for these remarkable mosaics is none other than William Blake Richmond, an associate of the Royal Academy (ARA). His talent shines through as he brings to life angels and seraphs with meticulous detail and skillful craftsmanship. However, what makes this particular photo intriguing is its satirical nature. It captures a scathing satire in cartoon form that cleverly mocks certain aspects or individuals related to St Paul's Cathedral. This satirical drawing adds another layer of depth and intrigue to an already mesmerizing piece. Through this photograph, we are reminded not only of the beauty found within places of worship but also how art can be used as a powerful tool for commentary and social critique.
