The cartoon for the 300 square foot reredos was made by Clayton and Bell. It depicts the Crucifixion and Last Supper on top, with a cross in the middle that is flanked by Saints Peter and Paul.

The photo at the top of this series is NOT St Paul's Anglican Cathedral Melbourne!
ReplyDeleteIt is St Patrick's Roman Catholic Cathedral.
Thank you for the clarification. The original image was labeled just as Melbourne Cathedral, and both are such grand structures that I didn't notice that it wasn't the one that I was posting about. I've made the correction!
ReplyDeleteThe photo at the top is St Paul's Cathedral. St Pat's is located in East Melbourne with gardens around it, whereas you can see the Melbourne City Square on the left of the top photo. Plus I am the Precentor of St Paul's, so I should know my own Cathedral!
ReplyDeleteThe original picture I had posted was wrong, but you are correct that the current photo is of St. Paul's. Thanks for visiting my site!
