Summary
A monochrome gelatine silver print stereograph of the Nave Tintern Abbey, Monmouthshire.

The image shows the unroofed building with grassed/gravel flooring and multiple columns with irregular stonework. In the foreground is a carved decorative stone. In the backbround is a set of steps with a guard rail beyond. The image was quite likely taken by T.H. Pettipher of Oxfordshire, based on similar images in the same set.
