A Geometrical Elevation of the West end of St. Paul's Cathedral

St. Paul's Cathedral, depicted in this engraved plate by J. Pass, is an iconic landmark of London and the masterpiece of Britain's most renowned architect, Sir Christopher Wren. Virginia's famous Renaissance Man Thomas Jefferson is connected to Christopher Wren through the shared Classical influences, seen in both the architecture of Monticello and St. Paul's Cathedral. Jefferson lodged in the Sir Christopher Wren Building while attending The College of William & Mary and may have derived inspiration from its Classical balance and forms.
