EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Monument of Sir Nicholas Bacon in the old St Paul's Cathedral, located in the heart of the City of London. The monument, erected in 1656, pays homage to Sir Nicholas Bacon (1509-1579), a prominent statesman and Lord Keeper of the Great Seal during Queen Elizabeth I's reign. The etching captures the intricate details of this historical masterpiece. Standing tall within the cathedral's interior, Sir Nicholas Bacon's effigy is depicted with his hands clasped in prayerful posture. Surrounding him are various symbols representing his status as a respected politician and devout Christian. The photograph transports us back to a bygone era when England was under Tudor rule. It offers a glimpse into an age marked by political intrigue and religious fervor. The monochrome palette adds an air of timelessness to this image, emphasizing its historical significance. Preserved within Guildhall Library and Art Gallery, this remarkable piece serves as both a mausoleum for Sir Nicholas Bacon and a testament to his enduring legacy. It stands as a reminder of Britain's rich heritage and its influential figures who shaped the course of history. As we gaze upon this solemn scene captured by Wenceslaus Hollar, we cannot help but feel awe-inspired by the grandeur that once graced St Paul's Cathedral centuries ago.
