This is a black-and-white photo of two glass cases showing statues inside. The statues look like figures from ancient times—one holds a discus, others pose in dramatic poses. The cases have arched tops with carved details, and the lighting makes shadows on the floor. The photo was taken to record the Crystal Palace’s sculpture display. The cases protect the statues, but you can still see their details clearly. Look up Victoria and Albert Museum next to see more like this.
