EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the essence of Early Victorian 1830s London Gothic Architecture, showcasing the intricate details and grandeur of St. Michael's Church in Highgate. The spire reaches towards the sky, a symbol of faith and devotion in this Anglican church located in North London.
The gothic style of the building is evident in the pointed arches, towering columns, and ornate pillars that adorn its facade. The Egyptian-inspired obelisk and cenotaph add a touch of exoticism to the overall design, creating a unique blend of architectural influences.
As we gaze upon this historical monument, we are transported back to a time when death and burial were central themes in society. The graves and catacombs surrounding the church serve as reminders of our mortality, while also paying homage to those who have passed on.
The image is reminiscent of a bygone era when knowledge was disseminated through penny magazines like Society for Diffusion of Useful Knowledge (SDUK). This particular print graced the front page of such publications in December 1839, offering readers a glimpse into the rich history and cultural heritage of Victorian England.
In this snapshot frozen in time, we see a lone woman walking along the pathway leading to the entrance of St. Michael's Church. Her presence adds a sense of scale and perspective to the scene, highlighting both the grandeur and solemnity of this architectural masterpiece from 19th century London.
