EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the majestic wooden statue of the giant Magog in the Guildhall, City of London. The image, taken by an English photographer in the 20th century, showcases this remarkable piece of carved artistry that dates back to the 18th century. The statue stands tall and imposing within the interior of Guildhall, its intricate details showcasing a blend of mythology and history. Gog and Magog, mythical guardians of London according to ancient folklore, are brought to life through this sculpture. The photograph offers a glimpse into a bygone era, with views that transport us back to 1920s Britain. The architecture surrounding Magog adds depth and context to this historic representation. It is worth noting that this particular print was used as an illustration for "Wonderful London" by St John Adcock in the early 1930s. The gravure-printed image captures every nuance of the carving's craftsmanship. This photograph not only highlights Germanic influences on British culture but also serves as a testament to European artistic exchange during the early twentieth century. It provides insight into both pagan religion and mythological beliefs prevalent at that time. Overall, this print from Fine Art Finder allows us to appreciate not only the skill behind creating such an impressive wooden statue but also its significance within London's rich history.
