The Interior of St. Paul's Cathedral, showing the improvements recently made, with the new... 1860. Creator: Unknown

The Interior of St. Paul's Cathedral, showing the improvements recently made, with the new eastern transept in the foreground, 1860. It was never the intention of Sir Christopher Wren to subdivide the length of the church by the organ, which till lately occupied the centre, but he was overruled by the authorities of his day, and the effect of his interior was nearly spoiled. The present Dean and Chapter, however, have allowed his judgment to prevail, and the organ has been removed to the north side...The solid and gloomy screen which supported the organ has been taken away, and the choir is at present open westwards...Our Engraving represents the interior of the cathedral as seen from the east end, with the new eastern transept in the foreground. The organ of the choir is seen on the north side. Beyond the open columnar screen (a point not yet decided on) the dome is seen, with some of the proposed pictures in mosaic on the spandrils or triangular spaces between the great arches...This view from east to west was hitherto entirely lost, in consequence of the interruption of the solid screen and organ, but it is now one of the most striking in the cathedral'. From "Illustrated London News", 1860

Whilst we only use Photographic Prints in our frames, you can frame Poster Prints if they are carefully supported to prevent sagging over time.

Poster prints are budget friendly enlarged prints in standard poster paper sizes (A0, A1, A2, A3 etc). Whilst poster paper is sometimes thinner and less durable than our other paper types, they are still ok for framing and should last many years. Our Archival Quality Photo Prints and Fine Art Paper Prints are printed on higher quality paper and the choice of which largely depends on your budget.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This magnificent photograph captures the interior of St. Paul's Cathedral in London as it appeared in 1860, following the recent improvements made to the space. The renowned architect Sir Christopher Wren's original vision for the cathedral's interior was marred by the addition of an organ and a solid screen that obstructed the view from the east end. However, under the current Dean and Chapter's leadership, Wren's intentions were restored. The organ, which once occupied the center of the cathedral, was moved to the north side, allowing the removal of the solid and gloomy screen that supported it. The open choir is now visible westwards, revealing a breathtaking view from the east end that was previously hidden. Our photograph offers a glimpse of this stunning interior, with the new eastern transept in the foreground and the organ of the choir on the north side. Beyond the open columnar screen, the iconic dome is visible, adorned with some of the proposed mosaics on the spandrils or triangular spaces between the great arches. This view from east to west, which was once lost due to the interruption of the solid screen and organ, is now one of the most striking features of St. Paul's Cathedral. The photograph serves as a testament to the enduring beauty and significance of this architectural masterpiece.
