EDITORS COMMENTS
The Obelisk in St. Georges Circus, (c1878) stands tall as a testament to the architectural brilliance of Robert Mylne. This print captures the essence of this magnificent structure that adorns Southwark, south London. Designed by Robert Mylne during his role as surveyor and architect of Blackfriars Bridge, this obelisk was erected in 1771. Its strategic location places it exactly one mile away from Palace Yard, London Bridge, and Fleet Street, symbolizing its significance within the cityscape. The photograph is sourced from 'Old and New London: A Narrative of Its History, Its People, And Its Places, ' written by Edward Walford in 1878. The image showcases the timeless beauty of St Georges Circus with its grand avenue lined with buildings that exude Victorian charm. As we gaze upon this monochrome masterpiece captured by an unknown creator, we are transported back to a time when craftsmanship and attention to detail were paramount. The print evokes a sense of awe for both the architectural wonders created by Mylne and the rich history embedded within every brick. This print serves as a reminder not only of our past but also of our enduring connection to heritage and culture. It invites us to appreciate the intricate workmanship that has shaped our cities throughout centuries gone by.
