The Great Bell, also known as Big Ben, holds a significant place in history and art. Its iconic presence is captured through various mediums, showcasing its grandeur and importance. In an engraving depicting the original "Big Ben, " we witness the birth of a legend. This engraving immortalizes the moment when this magnificent bell first graced Central London's skyline. It stands tall amidst the Germanic bombing during World War II, symbolizing resilience and strength. A vibrant colour lithograph showcases Central London under attack while highlighting the majestic silhouette of Parliament against a setting sun. Painted on canvas, an oil masterpiece from 1900-03 captures Big Ben's timeless beauty as it overlooks the cityscape with grace and elegance. Through another lithograph titled "Pleasures, " we see people reveling in awe-inspiring surroundings that include Big Ben - a testament to how this landmark brings joy to countless individuals who encounter it daily. Not limited to London alone, an engraving titled "Big Ben" transports us to Victoria, Australia. Here too, this great bell has left its mark across continents - a symbol of unity among nations. A black-and-white photograph introduces us to Big Ben himself - foaled in 1858. The image captures his regal stature and serves as a reminder of his historical significance beyond being just a clock tower. An oil painting from 1903 presents The Thames with Charing Cross Bridge as seen from beneath Big Ben's watchful eye. The artist skillfully portrays both architectural marvels intertwined harmoniously with nature's splendor. Known interchangeably as Great Bell or simply Big Ben, this remarkable structure resides within the Palace of Westminster at the Houses of Parliament in London, England. Its presence dominates not only physically but also culturally and historically. Even during construction stages depicted in an engraving titled "Testing the Great Bell for St Pauls Cathedral, " we witness meticulous craftsmanship at Messers Taylor and Sons Factory in Loughborough.
