This photo shows a stone porch inside a grand cathedral. Tall, pointed arches line the walls, and thick columns rise up to meet ribbed vaults above. The floor is worn, with shadows stretching long across the uneven stones. Look closer at the carvings on the columns—tiny figures and patterns hide in the details. This is part of Lincoln Cathedral, a famous old church in England. Next, check out Roger Fenton, the photographer who captured this in the 1850s.
