Macao. No. 392. - St Paul's Cathedral. Photographer: Unknown
- Scope & Content:
-
Genre: Architectural Photography
View looking up the long flight of stone steps towards the façade of the church. Letterpress continues: 'This magnificent place was destroyed by fire in 1835, it has never been rebuilt, all that remains is the front as seen in view - the front is built of granite, beautifully worked, the images between the columns are of bronze, and the idea of the great height of this can be formed when it is mentioned that the cross at the top of building is itself sixty feet high [?sixty feet from the ground] - within the walls is now a cemetery - on the right is a private house.' Photograph probably taken before 1874, when the house on the right was severely damaged by fire during the typhoon (see Photo 337/2 (27)), unless it was subsequently rebuilt in the same style.
