St. Paul's Cathedral, built to an English Baroque design of Sir Christopher Wren, as part of a major rebuilding program which took place in the city after the Great Fire of London, is completed within his lifetime.
The "topping out" of the cathedral (when the final stone is placed on the lantern) takes place in October 1708.
In fact, construction is to continue for several years after this.
St Paul's from the north west in the 18th century. Drawn by JM Meuller. The height of the body of the building appears to be understated relative to the dome, and the extent of the surrounding space is exaggerated.
