This photograph, part of the Boswell Collection, invites us to explore the rich history and mythology of this iconic city. The statue of Giant Magog, located in Great St. Mary's Church, Cambridge, was believed to have been brought to England by the Romans. The legend tells the tale of Magog, a giant who was said to have led an army of giants against King Vortigern and his men. Magog was eventually defeated and buried under the hill that is now known as Gog Magog Hill. This photograph, taken during a day trip to London, showcases the statue's imposing presence. The giant, depicted with a lantern in hand, stands tall and proud, casting an ethereal glow over the scene. The intricate details of the statue's stonework are beautifully captured, revealing the skill and craftsmanship of the sculptor. The image also offers a glimpse into the past, with the horse-drawn carriage and Victorian-era attire of the onlookers adding to the sense of history and nostalgia. The photograph's warm, sepia tones further enhance the timeless quality of the scene. This photograph is not only a testament to the enduring allure of London's historical landmarks but also a reminder of the captivating stories and legends that have shaped the city's rich cultural heritage. So, join us on this journey through time and discover the enigma of Giant Magog.
