EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back to the early 1960s, witnessing a momentous event at St Michaels Cathedral in Coventry. The image captures the remarkable sculpture of the devil being raised into position by a team of determined individuals. This striking artwork, created by renowned artist Jacob Epstein, serves as a testament to both modernity and religion. The scene is filled with an air of anticipation and awe as construction workers carefully maneuver the devil's imposing figure towards its designated spot. The juxtaposition between the traditional cathedral setting and this contemporary masterpiece creates a thought-provoking visual experience. This photograph not only showcases the craftsmanship involved in erecting such an intricate sculpture but also highlights the collaboration between engineering and artistry. It symbolizes how these two disciplines can harmoniously coexist within one space, pushing boundaries and challenging conventional norms. As we gaze upon this historical moment frozen in time, it prompts us to reflect on our own beliefs and perceptions of good versus evil. The devil's presence within a religious context challenges us to question preconceived notions while inviting contemplation on themes of spirituality and human nature. Preserved meticulously within Historic England Archive, this print allows us to delve into history's embrace once more – reminding us that even amidst construction sites and engineering marvels, art has always found its place in shaping our collective consciousness.
