This photograph was taken in May 1944 in London and belongs to the opening section of Jack Lieb’s color film, which documents the Allied preparations in England before D-Day. St. Paul’s Cathedral was a symbol of London and its resilience during the Second World War; the cathedral had largely survived the German bombing attacks of the Blitz in 1940/41 undamaged. Also visible in the image is a banner of the YMCA War Services, reflecting the pervasive mobilization of civilian infrastructure in London at that time.
