Very large Edwardian era portrait of Frederick William Walker (1830 – 1910) – high master of Manchester Grammer school and, from 1876 – 1905, high master of the prestigious St Paul’s School in London. Three quarter legth seated portrait of Walker painted in oil on canvas measuring 38½” x 50½”. An imposing figure with white hair and beard, dressed in the master’s gown with a slash of scarlet and holding a book and some sort of long ceremonial gold tassel. Sitting before a long window through which can be seen Alfred Waterhouse’s famous red brick and terracotta buildings for St Paul’s school. Walker supervised the school’s move from its original location in the City to the new site in Hammersmith in 1884 from when it expanded greatly becoming the most successful school in the country in terms of gaining entrance scholarships to Oxford and Cambridge. Inscribed in the top right cand corner of the canvas together with the dates of Walker’s career at St Paul’s the painting presumably dates from his retirement. Indeed the slightly naive style suggests it may even have been painted by a pupil perhaps. Presented in the original splendid broad gilt frame with moulded gesso decotaion at the corners and a brass plaque engraved with further details of Frederick William Walker’s biography. Obvious wear to the frame, otherwise very good condition.

Cathedrals are some of the world’s greatest works of architecture. These buildings are often so grand and so large that they stand out as important landmarks in their respective cities. For many centuries, cathedrals were often the tallest buildings in their countries and today some still are.

There is often some confusion between the difference of a church, cathedral, and basilica and often times the words are used interchangeably. However, strictly speaking a cathedral is a church that serves as the seat of power for a bishop. Cathedrals are the church associated with the administration of an area. For the purposes of this list, we only included cathedrals that are formally called cathedrals in their official name.
