EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the magnificent Westminster Cathedral in London, as seen from Ashley Place in the 1930s. Designed by the talented architect John Francis Bentley, this Byzantine masterpiece began its construction in 1895 and was completed in 1903. As the largest Catholic church in England and Wales, it proudly serves as the seat of the Archbishop of Westminster. The image captures the grandeur of this architectural marvel with its towering bell tower or campanile, known as a belfry. The cathedral's red brick exterior stands out against the backdrop of a bustling cityscape, representing both strength and beauty. The photographer Campbell skillfully immortalizes this iconic landmark through his lens for "Wonderful London" a publication edited by Arthur St John Adcock. This monochrome depiction transports us back to an era where Victorian charm blended seamlessly with religious devotion. As we gaze upon this print today, we are reminded not only of its historical significance but also of its enduring spiritual presence. The solemnity that emanates from within these walls is palpable even from afar. This image invites us to appreciate not just the physical structure itself but also to reflect on our own beliefs and values. In preserving moments like these through photography, we honor our heritage and ensure that future generations can bear witness to such remarkable feats of human creativity and faith.
