Bunyan Meeting Church, Bronze Doors

---

Engraving from English Pictures in pen & pencil published circa 1880 by the Religious Tract Society in London. The doors contain ten bas-relief panels, illustrating, like the panels on the base of the Bedford statue, scenes from the Pilgrims Progress. The design of the doors is based on the Gates of Paradise, by Ghiberti in the Battistero di San Giovanni in Florence. The Bunyan doors were executed by Fredrick Thrupp (1812-1895), in copper on bronze.
