EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the magnificent interior of St. Saviours Church, captured around 1878. The creator of this remarkable image remains unknown, but their work beautifully showcases the architectural features and grandeur of this historic place of worship. Originally known as St Mary Overies Church, St Saviours in Southwark, London later became Southwark Cathedral in 1905. This stunning photograph is a testament to its rich history and significance within the community. The monochrome composition allows us to appreciate the intricate details of this Gothic masterpiece. The vaulted ceiling stretches above like a heavenly canopy while beams of light filter through stained glass windows, casting ethereal hues upon the nave below. One cannot help but be drawn towards the choir stall at the forefront, where devoted Christians once gathered for prayer and song. Further ahead stands an imposing pulpit, symbolizing centuries-old sermons delivered from its sacred platform. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time, we are transported to an era when religion played a central role in people's lives. Edward Walford's publication "Old and New London: A Narrative of Its History" provides valuable insights into both the church's past and present. This print serves as a powerful reminder that even amidst modernity's relentless march forward, our heritage remains steadfastly rooted within these hallowed walls.
