Catholic Church c. 1900

Agnes Winterbottom Cooney's "Catholic Church" (c. 1900) is a cyanotype photograph that captures the interior of a small church. The image showcases the simplicity of the space, with rows of wooden pews leading towards the altar, which is adorned with religious figures and floral arrangements. The blue tones of the cyanotype process give the image a spiritual and timeless quality, reflecting the solemnity of the church's interior.
