A View of Ely Cathedral

1899

Frederick H. Evans

Associated Names

Frederick H. Evans

Artist, British, 1853 - 1943

The image shows a Gothic-style cathedral with intricate carvings and towering spires. The cathedral is framed by leafless branches of trees. A wrought iron fence surrounds the monument, and small, well-manicured trees stand behind it. The towers and pinnacles of the cathedral are seen in the background against an overcast sky. The overall color scheme of the photo is sepia-toned.
