EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Church of St. Faith, The Crypt of Old St. Pauls" from a view by Hollar in 1897. The image takes us back to the 17th century, offering a glimpse into the architectural beauty and religious significance of this historic site. St. Faith's was once a parish church attached to the old St. Paul's Cathedral, which tragically fell victim to the Great Fire of London in 1666. This photograph captures the essence of medieval England, with its Gothic features and intricate fan vaulting on display. As we explore the interior of this sacred space, our eyes are drawn towards the magnificent vaulted ceiling that adds grandeur and depth to the scene. The monochrome tones lend an air of timelessness and evoke a sense of reverence for centuries past. The publication "Old and New London" by Walter Thornbury immortalizes this remarkable image, reminding us of both our country's rich history and its enduring faith traditions. Wenceslaus Hollar skillfully captured this moment in time through his artistic lens, leaving behind an invaluable record for future generations to appreciate. This print is not just a visual delight but also serves as a reminder that even amidst destruction, remnants like these crypts stand as testaments to human resilience and unwavering devotion throughout ages gone by.
