EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the grandeur of St. Stephens Chapel, a significant architectural masterpiece that once stood in the old Palace of Westminster in London. Serving as the chamber of the House of Commons from 1547 to 1834, this historic chapel played a crucial role in British politics and religion. Sadly, much of St. Stephens Chapel was destroyed in a devastating fire in 1834, making this image all the more precious as it offers us a glimpse into its former glory. The Gothic-style building stands tall against the backdrop of Old Palace Yard, showcasing intricate details and exquisite craftsmanship. The photograph is taken from Edward Walford's renowned publication "Old and New London: A Narrative of Its History, Its People, and Its Places" published by Cassell, Petter, Galpin & Co. in 1881. Although the creator remains unknown, their work has immortalized this iconic structure for generations to come. As we admire this monochrome snapshot frozen in time between two centuries -16th and 19th- we are reminded not only of its architectural significance but also its historical importance within British society. St. Stephens Chapel symbolizes both religious devotion and political power intertwined seamlessly throughout England's past. This image invites us to reflect on our rich heritage while appreciating how far we have come since then – politically, socially, and architecturally – shaping our present-day landscape with each passing century.
