Frederick H. Evans — Ely Cathedral: Presbytery, from an Engraving

Frederick H. Evans

Ely Cathedral: Presbytery, from an Engraving

1891

Based on an historical engraving rather than direct photography, Evans' lantern slide preserves earlier visual documentation of the cathedral's presbytery. Such reproductions allowed him to present architectural elements that had changed or were difficult to photograph directly.
