EDITORS COMMENTS
St. Paul's Church, Malta, Built at the Expense of the late Queen Dowager Adelaide, 1850" is an intriguing photograph depicting the interior of this magnificent Neoclassical church located in Valletta, Malta. The church, which served as a Pro-Cathedral, was constructed under the patronage of Queen Adelaide of Saxe-Meiningen, who funded the project following her husband's death in 1849. The photograph, published in the Illustrated London News in 1850, highlights the church's impressive dimensions, with an area length of 110 feet, breadth of 67 feet, and a height of 45 feet. The church boasted open seating for over 1500 persons, making it one of the largest in London at the time. The interior is adorned with elegant Neoclassical features, including Corinthian columns that support the ceiling, which is decorated with richly sculpted panels and mouldings. The sides and altar end are embellished with pilasters of similar design. The church was built at a cost of £15,000, surpassing by one-third the original grant granted by Queen Adelaide. The photograph, taken by an unknown artist, offers a glimpse into the grandeur and beauty of this Neoclassical masterpiece. The church's interior design, with its spacious seating and intricate decorative elements, reflects the Victorian era's emphasis on grandeur and religious devotion. The photograph is a testament to the architectural and artistic achievements of the time and serves as a reminder of the legacy left behind by Queen Adelaide of Saxe-Meiningen. The photograph, published in the Illustrated London News, was produced by an unknown artist, known only as "Richard Lankesheer." The image is a valuable addition to any collection of historical photographs, showcasing the architectural and artistic beauty of St. Paul's Church in Malta during the 19th century.
