EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the magnificent Church of St Benet Pauls Wharf, located in the heart of the City of London. Captured in 1874 by artist W Niven, this image beautifully captures the architectural grandeur and historical significance of this iconic British landmark. Designed by the renowned Sir Christopher Wren and constructed under the expertise of his master mason Thomas Strong, St Benet Pauls Wharf stands as a testament to their exceptional craftsmanship. This church replaced its predecessor which was tragically destroyed during the Great Fire of London. With its striking church tower reaching towards the heavens, this 17th-century structure exudes an air of tranquility and spirituality. As one gazes upon its exterior, it is impossible not to be awestruck by its intricate details and timeless beauty. Not only is St Benet Pauls Wharf a place for worship but also serves as a significant burial ground for Inigo Jones, an influential figure in English architecture from the 17th century. The church holds great cultural importance as it represents Welsh heritage within the bustling cityscape. Preserved through time, this etching now resides at Guildhall Library and Art Gallery where it continues to inspire visitors with its vibrant colors and rich history. It serves as a reminder of Britain's architectural prowess and religious devotion that has stood strong for centuries.
