This photo shows a plain wall with old, broken pieces stuck into it. There’s a tall, narrow slab with a faded figure carved into it, a small square panel, and a few other chunks of stone. Some look like they might’ve been tombs or decorations. The wall itself is rough, with visible cracks and patches. The photo was taken in the 1860s to document leftover bits from a destroyed church. These fragments were reused in the new wall, like leftovers from the past. Next, check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more of their collection of historic photos and objects.
