EDITORS COMMENTS
This fascinating print from 1913 captures the historical views of St. Paul's Cathedral in London during a time when it was believed to be suffering from subsidence. The image shows illustrations and a photograph of the iconic cathedral, with a proposal for pipes to be sunk around the building in an attempt to stabilize its sandy sub-soil.
The bottom image in this print showcases the innovative solution that was being considered at the time - allowing more water into the ground surrounding St. Paul's Cathedral in hopes of preventing further subsidence. This unique perspective offers insight into both the challenges faced by architects and engineers working on such an important historical structure, as well as their creative problem-solving abilities.
As we gaze upon this snapshot from over a century ago, we are reminded of the importance of preserving our architectural heritage and finding sustainable solutions to ensure these landmarks stand strong for generations to come. The import of this moment in history is palpable, making this print an invaluable piece for anyone interested in the rich history of London's most famous cathedral.
