Ely Cathedral: Southwest Transept into Nave c. 1891

Frederick H. Evans's "Ely Cathedral: Southwest Transept into Nave" is a classic example of pictorialism, a photographic movement that emerged in the late 19th century. Taken in 1891, the photograph captures the grandeur of the cathedral's interior, with its intricate arches and towering pillars. The soft focus and evocative light create a sense of mystery and awe, emphasizing the architectural beauty of the space. The photograph is now part of The Art Institute of Chicago’s collection.
