Copy of Hogarth's satire on William Kent's altarpiece at St Clement Danes; a group of five angels playing musical instruments; the dove of the Holy Ghost above, surrounded by seven heads of putti.

Like Hogarth's original print of 1725 it is printed on blue paper but is distinguished by more uniform text below the image (including a modern 's' at the end of the final 'Wings') and other small differences.

A contemporary source noted that 'as the expense of supplying photographs to every subscriber would be very considerable, a limited number only has been struck off, which will be sent to Stations, at which subscribers will have the opportunity of seeing them'. St George's Garrison Church was destroyed by a V1 in 1944. Even as a ruin the building was listed in 1973 for its architectural merits, especially its polychromatic Victorian brick, and a canopy roof has been build over the top.
