The original print reads: "St. Paul's Cathedral, The Western Front"
Drawn by J. Archer. Engraved by B. Winkles for Winkles's Cathedrals.
Published Oct 1, 1835 by Effingham Wilson, Royal Exchange.
This impressive frontage is included in our FREE tour around the precincts of St Paul's Cathedral.
"This FREE
circular tour around St Paul’s precincts includes some of the history of the
Cathedral (although does not go inside), but its main focus is to explore the
Cathedral precincts bringing to life statues, archways, gardens, buildings and
hidden corners.
Emerging from the shadows of history are memorials
to the Blitz, John Wesley, and Thomas Becket.
We discover the founding of the YMCA, the home of the book burners, the
extinction bell, and St Paul’s Cross.
Other curiosities include an ancient misplaced archway, a vanished
market and a 150 million year old statue!"
