Summary
An albumen print photograph depicting the interior of Saint-Étienne-du-Mont Church in Paris, France. The view is from the rear of the nave, looking towards the crucifix and rood screen. There is a fan vaulted ceiling, and columns and arches separate the nave from the side aisles. The print is mounted directly onto the page in the album. There is some damage to the photograph - a tear in the bottom right corner approximately 60 mm. This appears to have been done when the photograph was pasted into the album. The right hand edge of the photograph is not cut straight.
