Views of St. Paul's Cathedral, London

S. PAUL’S FROM THE SOUTH WEST.

Reading edition

This fine view was taken from the top of the buildings of the Post Office Savings Bank in Queen Victoria Street: taken, fortunately, before the erection of the large block of warehouses at the south west of the Churchyard. Since these buildings have been completed the lower part of the Cathedral can no longer be seen from the position just indicated. The exquisite proportions of the Dome are here displayed to the fullest advantage.
