| Description |
English: St Paul's from the South Bank A drypoint etching of St Paul's Cathedral, as seen from across the Thames, by the marine artist William Lionel Wyllie (1851-1931). On the river are a number of spritsail barges, a steam tug, right, and several lighters, one propelled by two men with sweeps, centre. A cathedral dedicated to St Paul has overlooked the City of London since AD 604. The present cathedral, depicted here, is the fourth to occupy the same site. Designed by Sir Christopher Wren, it was built between 1675 and 1710 after its predecessor was destroyed in the Great Fire of London, 1666. |
