EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the majestic front view of the Metropolitan Tabernacle, a renowned non-conformist church in south London. Designed by William Wilmer Pocock and completed in 1861, this architectural masterpiece was considered the largest of its kind during that time. The image is sourced from "Old and New London: A Narrative of Its History, Its People, And Its Places" written by Edward Walford and published by Cassell, Petter, Galpin & Co. around 1878. The photograph showcases the neoclassical style of the building's exterior with its grand columns and imposing facade. Situated in Newington Butts near Elephant and Castle in Southwark, this religious landmark stands as a testament to Victorian England's strong Christian heritage. As we gaze upon this monochrome scene frozen in time, we are transported back to the bustling streets of 19th-century London. The print evokes a sense of awe at both the craftsmanship displayed in constructing such an impressive structure and the devotion it inspired among worshippers who flocked here for spiritual solace. This image not only serves as a visual record but also provides us with a glimpse into history - showcasing how religion played an integral role within society during this era. It reminds us that even amidst rapid urbanization and industrialization, faith remained steadfastly rooted within British culture.
