Gezicht op Lindisfarne Castle before 1864

"Gezicht op Lindisfarne Castle" is a photograph by Stephen Thompson, likely taken before 1864. The photograph shows a view of Lindisfarne Castle, a historic landmark on the island of Lindisfarne, also known as Holy Island, off the coast of Northumberland, England. The image captures the castle in its ruinous state, emphasizing its historical significance and the passage of time. The photograph is part of a book about the Priory of Lindisfarne, which suggests Thompson may have been documenting the region for historical or travel purposes. The small size of the photograph (82 mm x 85 mm) hints at its intended use as an illustration or a personal memento of a visit to the site.
