Summary
An albumen print photograph of, possibly, Cologne Cathedral door. It is a large stone arch with 4 further delinated arches insid. There is a statue of a standing figure in each arch, separated by a stone carving from further smaller statues. Inside the arch there are four rows of further statues above a central column with 2 more statues on. There is a large door on each side of this central column. 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.
