This famed photograph by Herbert Mason was first published on 31 December 1940 on the front page of the Daily Mail. It depicts the dome of St. Paul's Cathedral showing through the smoke from the fires resulting from the severe raid on the City of the night of 29 December 1940. It was captioned as 'War's Greatest Picture'. The image of St. Paul's is undoubtedly now the most well known of the Blitz.
