This black-and-white photo shows a cemetery filled with tall, narrow gravestones. In the center stands a stone statue of an angel with its arms raised, as if reaching toward the sky. The sky itself is dark, with just one small cloud visible. The angel’s wings are spread wide, giving it a sense of movement despite the stillness of the gravestones around it. The photo looks like it was taken from a low angle, making the angel appear even larger. Next, check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more of this photo.
