New Mosaics at St. Paul's Cathedral: cartoon of the Angel of the Creation, for the mosaic in 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. "My idea was to treat the whole of the choir as a kind of history of man from his creation, and to take examples from the Old Testament which would illustrate his religious and intellectual progress".' From "Illustrated London News", 1895.
