EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the solemnity of the Memorial in St. Pauls Churchyard, commemorating the destruction of St. Pauls Cross by the Roundheads during the First English Civil War in 1643. The image showcases a Doric column made of Portland stone, designed by Sir Reginald Blomfield, standing tall against the backdrop of Old St Pauls Cathedral in London. The monument, erected between 1908 and 1910, serves as a poignant reminder of a significant event in British history. Atop the column stands a statue of St. Paul created by Sir Bertram Mackennal, adding an artistic touch to this architectural marvel. As we gaze upon this monochrome photograph from "Wonderful London" edited by Arthur St John Adcock, we are transported back to an era when religion played a central role in society. The image evokes feelings of reverence and reflection as we contemplate both the physical destruction caused by war and the enduring spirit of faith that perseveres through such trials. This snapshot invites us to ponder not only on historical events but also on our own relationship with spirituality and heritage. It reminds us that even amidst turmoil and conflict, symbols like crosses can hold deep meaning for individuals and communities alike. In capturing this moment frozen in time, photographer Donald McLeish skillfully conveys both architectural grandeur and emotional resonance—a testament to his artistry as well as his dedication to preserving cultural heritage through photography.
