EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lithograph takes us back to the year 1852, offering a glimpse into the crypt of St Paul's Cathedral in London. The anonymous artist skillfully captures the eerie atmosphere within this sacred space, where history and mystery intertwine. The focal point of the image is a figure standing amidst three men, their faces illuminated by the soft glow emanating from a lantern on the ground. It is believed that these individuals are contemplating the Duke of Wellington's probable burial place, as indicated by the light. Their presence adds an air of solemnity to this already haunting scene. The architectural features of St Paul's Cathedral are beautifully rendered in intricate detail. The archways create a sense of depth and grandeur while also emphasizing the age-old nature of this religious site. As we explore further into this monochrome world, one cannot help but feel both awe-inspired and slightly unnerved. Guildhall Library and Art Gallery has preserved this remarkable piece from our past, allowing us to delve into London's rich Christian heritage. This lithograph serves as a reminder that death is an integral part of life and invites contemplation on matters beyond our earthly existence. As we gaze upon this print, we find ourselves transported back in time - surrounded by darkness yet captivated by its beauty.
