About this work

This is a photo of an old church altar. The altar has a big flat top with a round window in the middle. Below it, two angels sit on steps, holding up a dark curtain. Tall candles line the back wall, and the floor has fancy stonework. The photo was taken in the 1860s. It shows real details of how churches looked back then, not just a painting. Look up Victoria and Albert Museum to see more photos like this.
