The fourth edition of The Nobile Folios explores St Paul s from Moor Lane, painted by Cyril Mann in 1948. London in the late 40s was beleaguered by the devastation of war. Mann cast his intense gaze on this scarred cityscape, and saw it for what it was. But his was no regular gaze: he saw the vitality and energy beneath this desperation which was symbolized by blinding light of the glowing ochre sun.
