New Mosaics at St. Paul's Cathedral: mosaic of King David, on south side of the Choir, 1895. 'The mosaics [by Sir William Blake Richmond] are new now; indeed, they are still only in progress, but we ought all to be acquainted with them. Quite a transformation is creeping over the always stately choir of St. Paul's. Sermons in stone, sermons full of colour and life and eloquence, have arisen where before there were only dun walls. It is as if the sun were always shining; and Mr. Richmond's service goes wider. In these mosaics we have the revival of a lost English art. "Turning to the south side of the choir you will see on the same level figures of David and Solomon...David lamenting that he was not permitted to build a temple".' From "Illustrated London News", 1895.
