EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the early Victorian architectural design of the proposed entrance to Highgate Cemetery in North London, as envisioned by architect B. Ferrey in 1830. The intricate Gothic style of the building is a testament to the grandeur and elegance of 19th-century architecture.
The symmetrical arches and pathways leading up to the entrance create a sense of solemnity and reverence befitting a place of burial and remembrance. The floorplan below showcases Ferrey's meticulous attention to detail, with every aspect of the design carefully thought out and executed.
Highgate Cemetery has long been known for its historic monuments and beautiful landscaping, making it a popular destination for both locals and tourists alike. This proposed entrance would have served as a fitting gateway to this sacred space, welcoming visitors with its imposing yet graceful presence.
As we gaze upon this engraving from The Lady's Magazine, we are transported back in time to an era when architecture was not just functional but also a work of art in itself. It serves as a reminder of our own mortality while also celebrating the beauty that can be found even in places dedicated to death and remembrance.
