c. 1860Albumen print | 7.7 x 7.2 cm (image) | RCIN 2320056
Photograph of a bearded man seated in front row of stalls inside Henry VII's chapel in Westminster Cathedral, London. The view is of a solitary male figure, seated in the stalls in right side profile with his right leg crossed over his left. Above him hang pennants and a window can be seen through an arch on the right of the background.
Built in the Perpendicular Gothic style, the Henry VII chapel began construction in 1503 and was completed in 1509. It was intended to be a chapel dedicated to the Virgin Mary and as the burial site for King Henry VII and his family. The pennants of the members of the Order of the Bath have hung in the chapel since 1725.
