"South End of St. Michael's Gallery" is an illustration by George Cattermole, included in his work "Graphic and Literary Illustrations of Fonthill Abbey," which was published in the 19th century. The illustration is part of a series that visually documents Fonthill Abbey, the grand Gothic revival residence built by William Thomas Beckford in Wiltshire, England. Cattermole, known for his architectural watercolors and illustrations, captured the essence of the Abbey's elaborate design and its ornate interiors.

Fonthill Abbey, with its towering spire and complex design, was a subject of fascination during its time, embodying the height of Romanticism's architectural aspirations. Cattermole's illustrations serve as a historical record of the Abbey, which suffered from structural issues and was largely demolished in the early 19th century. "South End of St. Michael's Gallery" specifically depicts the interior view of one of the Abbey's galleries, showcasing the intricate Gothic detailing and the grandeur of Beckford's vision.
