About this work

This photo shows a sculpture inside Amiens Cathedral. It’s a black and white print from the 1850s to 1870s. The image belongs to a big set of cathedral photos made as souvenirs back then. Frith ran a huge photo printing business. Most of his famous images were shot by hired photographers, not him. This one fits in a series of over 4,000 prints. Look up Francis Frith next.
