EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the magnificent St Stephen Walbrook church in mid-late 19th century London. The steeple stands tall, reaching towards the heavens, showcasing the grandeur of baroque architecture that dominated this era. St Stephen Walbrook is a significant church located in the heart of the City of London, belonging to the Church of England's Diocese of London. Its history dates back to medieval times when a previous structure stood on this site until it was tragically destroyed during the Great Fire of London in 1666. The present building we see in this image was meticulously designed by renowned architect Christopher Wren between 1672 and 1679. Wren's genius shines through as he seamlessly blends elements of baroque style with his own unique vision. The monochrome aesthetic adds an air of timelessness to this photograph, allowing us to appreciate both its architectural beauty and historical significance. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back to a bygone era where religion played a central role in society. Although created by an unknown artist, this print serves as a valuable testament to Sir Christopher Wren's contribution to British architecture and showcases St Stephen Walbrook as one among many stunning churches that adorned London during that period.
