EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the magnificent Ely Chapel, captured around 1872 by an unknown photographer. The chapel is a remarkable piece of British architecture, located within the historic Ely Palace or Ely House in London. For nearly four centuries, from 1290 to 1772, this grand estate served as the residence for the Bishops of Ely before being sold to the Crown. The image offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when this elegant building stood proudly amidst bustling city life. Its Gothic design exudes an air of religious significance and reverence that resonates with its Christian heritage. The intricate details of its interior are beautifully preserved in monochrome tones, emphasizing both its historical importance and architectural splendor. Through this photograph, we are reminded of London's rich history and cultural legacy. It serves as a testament to the enduring presence of religion within society while also showcasing Britain's penchant for grandeur in their stately homes and palaces. As we admire this print today, we owe our gratitude to George Walter Thornbury for his publication "Old and New London" which documented not only iconic landmarks like Ely Chapel but also provided insights into the lives of people who inhabited these spaces throughout history. This stunning image allows us to appreciate both Thornbury's work as well as the anonymous photographer who captured this timeless beauty for future generations to cherish.
