Dr. Shaw Preaching at St. Paul's Cross, London (1769): A Glimpse into the Past This evocative image captures the moment as Dr. Shaw delivers a sermon to a rapt audience at St. Paul's Cross in London during the 1760s. The scene takes place outside the Old St. Paul's Cathedral, with its ornate Gothic architecture serving as a striking backdrop. The image transports us back in time, offering a glimpse into the religious and historical significance of this site. St. Paul's Cross was a popular venue for public sermons and speeches, with a rich history dating back to the 17th century. The Chamberlain of London, who is depicted standing to the side of Dr. Shaw, was responsible for maintaining order during these events. The preacher, dressed in his robes, delivers his message with passion and conviction, while the attentive audience listens intently. The image also showcases the beauty of the surrounding buildings, including the intricately designed rose window and the border of the print itself. The street scene adds to the authenticity of the moment, as onlookers gather to witness the spectacle. This photograph, taken from the Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a unique insight into the religious and historical landscape of 18th-century London. It serves as a reminder of the power of public discourse and the enduring allure of the city's rich history.
