Rievaulx Abbey OP07620
Rievaulx Abbey, North Yorkshire, 1850-1910. Unknown photographer, albumen print. The ruins of Rievaulx Abbey, the first Cistercian abbey in the north of England, have been a tourist destination since the 18th century. In the Victorian era photographers were also drawn to record the picturesque, ivy-clad ruins. By 1917 these were in danger of collapse and Rievaulx Abbey was taken into the care of the Office of Works. Sir Charles Peers, Chief Inspector of Ancient Monuments, caused controversy by clearing the site of vegetation and establishing the principle of presenting historic monuments in neat, tidy, unobstructed settings.

North aisle of Westminster Abbey AL2028_014_01
The north aisle of Westminster Abbey, London. Victor Albert Proutas album of photographs. The interior of the Abbey of Westminster was published in 1860. The 23 prints are some of the earliest interior views of the building, and this view of the north aisle records monuments outside the Chapel of St John the Baptist that have since been repaired or restored. Commenting on a dozen of Proutas views that had been published by Mr J Elliot, The Athenaeum in March 1860 described them as having 'various merit', but 'as a whole, they are very fine and powerful'. Albumen print.
