Description: | This view of St Paul's Cathedral, looking west, shows bomb damage sustained by surrounding buildings during air raids to the City. The damaged church of St Augustine and St Faith stands background left.
The image of St Paul's, standing miraculously unscathed among the surrounding destruction, is one of the most potent symbols of the Blitz.
The photograph could have been taken as a picture reference for the London Transport 'Proud City' poster series by Walter Spradbery in 1944. | Format: | image/jpeg | Publisher: | London Transport Museum | Rights holder: | Transport for London | Subjects: | Cityscape Identity and Icons London at War | Temporal: | 10 Aug 1944 | Source: | London Transport Museum | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | image/jpeg | Go to resource |
