EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment in history at Regents Park, Marylebone, London in 1829. The interior view of the Colosseum reveals a bustling scene with workmen diligently preparing Thomas Hornor's panorama of London as seen from the top of St Paul's Cathedral. Suspended in cradles, painters can be seen meticulously adding intricate details to this magnificent artwork. As visitors entered the Colosseum, their view of the panorama was cleverly concealed by a passage to the left and a tented roof. This suspenseful approach heightened anticipation before unveiling the breathtaking vista that awaited them. To reach viewing platforms resembling St Paul's Cathedral's dome, visitors had two options: either ascending an elegant spiral staircase or utilizing an innovative lift. The image showcases not only the grandeur of this exhibition but also highlights technological advancements of its time. The presence of pulleys and cradles demonstrates how these skilled workers utilized inventive methods to accomplish their tasks efficiently. This photograph is part of Guildhall Library and Art Gallery collection and provides valuable insights into 19th-century entertainment and exhibition practices. It offers us a glimpse into professions such as painting during that era while showcasing London's architectural marvels. With its rich historical context and meticulous attention to detail, this print serves as both an artistic masterpiece capturing moments frozen in time and a testament to human ingenuity during an era marked by innovation and progress.
