Peterborough 1860

"Peterborough" is a calotype photograph by Alfred Capel Cure, taken in 1860. The image depicts the intricate details of Peterborough Cathedral, with a focus on the arched entrance and surrounding stonework. The photograph showcases Cure's skill in capturing architectural details, a common subject in his oeuvre. The use of the calotype process, a forerunner to modern photography, results in a distinct, soft, and detailed image. The image is housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
