EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the stunning interior of St. Michael's Wood Street in the City of London, taken in 1876 and published in 1897 by Walter Thornbury. The church, designed by Christopher Wren in 1673, replaced its predecessor that was destroyed during the Great Fire of 1666. With its arched windows and intricate architectural details, this seventeenth-century building is a testament to British craftsmanship. Inside the church, rows of pews line up along the avenue-like aisle, leading towards the beautifully adorned altar at the end. The monochrome image highlights both light and shadow playing through the stained glass windows, creating an ethereal atmosphere within these sacred walls. St. Michael's Wood Street holds historical significance as it serves as the final resting place for King James IV of Scotland's head (1473-1513). This religious site stands as a symbol of Christianity's enduring presence throughout centuries. As we gaze upon this photograph today, we are transported back to Victorian England when George Walter Thornbury documented Old and New London with Cassell & Company Ltd. , capturing moments frozen in time like this remarkable interior view. Let us appreciate not only its artistic value but also recognize how architecture can connect us to our country's rich heritage and religious traditions.
