EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "The Choir, before the Removal of the Screen" takes us back to a significant moment in architectural history. Created by an English School artist in the 19th century, this print showcases St Paul's Cathedral in all its grandeur. The focus of the image lies on the choir area, where a magnificent screen once stood. The intricate details of this ecclesiastical masterpiece are beautifully captured, allowing us to appreciate the craftsmanship that went into its creation. Every arch and pillar seems to tell a story, whispering tales from centuries past. The screen itself is an architectural marvel, adorned with delicate carvings and ornate decorations. It is fascinating to imagine how this space would have looked before the removal of such an important feature. One can only wonder about the reasons behind its removal and how it may have transformed both visually and acoustically. This particular print comes from T G Bonney's book "Cathedrals, Abbeys and Churches" published in 1891. Thanks to digital cleaning techniques applied to enhance its clarity, we can now admire this historical artwork with renewed appreciation. "The Choir, before the Removal of the Screen" offers a glimpse into a bygone era when architecture was not just functional but also awe-inspiring. It serves as a reminder of our rich cultural heritage and invites us to reflect on how these magnificent structures continue to shape our understanding of beauty today.
