The Cathedral Church of St Saviour and St Mary Overie Southwark, often referred to simply as Southwark Cathedral, is a historic and architecturally significant church located in the London Borough of Southwark. The cathedral has a rich history that dates back to its origins as a priory in the 12th century. It was originally founded as an Augustinian priory dedicated to St Mary Overie, which translates to "St Mary over the river." The church has undergone numerous transformations and restorations over the centuries, reflecting the various architectural styles and historical periods it has witnessed.

One of the notable artistic representations of Southwark Cathedral is by Wenceslaus Hollar, a renowned Bohemian etcher and artist of the 17th century. Hollar, who was born in Prague in 1607, became one of the most prolific and skilled etchers of his time, producing detailed and accurate depictions of landscapes, architecture, and urban scenes. His works are highly valued for their historical accuracy and artistic quality.

Hollar's etching of The Cathedral Church of St Saviour and St Mary Overie Southwark captures the essence of the cathedral during the 17th century. The etching is a testament to Hollar's meticulous attention to detail and his ability to convey the grandeur and historical significance of the structure. Through his work, Hollar provides a visual record of the cathedral's architectural features, including its Gothic elements and the surrounding urban landscape of Southwark.

The etching is not only an important piece of art but also a valuable historical document that offers insights into the appearance and context of Southwark Cathedral during Hollar's lifetime. It serves as a bridge connecting contemporary viewers with the past, allowing them to appreciate the enduring legacy of this iconic London landmark.
