Title:

Mediæval tomb (Caen stone); Myers. Photographer: Owen, Hugh

Scope & Content:

Inscription: Monogram 'H. O.' at bottom right corner.

Genre: Fine Arts, Photography of

View of Caen stone tomb, containing a reclining figure lying within an ogee-arched niche, built by Myers, who 'exhibits a number of objects sculptured in Caen stone, most of which are placed in what is called the Mediæval Court. These are imitative of English mediæval architectural decoration, and are chiefly, though not entirely, ecclesiastical in their uses. The execution of the stone work is in all of them extremely good; the different objects are perfectly correct in execution, and the distribution of the details is effectually and well combined with unity of design, showing clearly the artist's knowledge of his subject and of art. A Prize Medal has been awarded to this exhibitor' (p. 1224). A print of this photograph was also shown at the 1852 Royal Society of Arts Photographic Exhibition.
