The Grand Musical Festival in Gloucester Cathedral, 1850. Creator: Unknown
The Grand Musical Festival in Gloucester Cathedral, 1850....the effect of the interior - the nave, with its massive Norman columns and round arches, and the elegant choir receding in far-off perspective - is very fine. The nave...is plain and simple in its architectural features; the huge Norman pillars, with their unadorned capitals, and the slightly-enriched arches which they support; the triforia, and the clerestory windows above them, with the vaulting of the roof, being generally of severe, though admirable character. The clustered columns whence spring the vaulting-ribs are very fine features in the nave, and the corbels on which they rest are sculptured in grotesque forms. The choir-roof is marvellously fine, the vaulting being covered with a network of tracery...The organ-case is in the vile Gothic taste of the seventeenth century, and sadly mars the effect of the building'. From "Illustrated London News", 1850

EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in 1850, captures the grandeur and beauty of The Grand Musical Festival held within the hallowed walls of Gloucester Cathedral. The image reveals the magnificent interior of the cathedral, with its nave and choir bathed in soft, natural light. The effect of the interior is truly breathtaking. The nave, with its massive Norman columns and round arches, and the elegant choir receding in far-off perspective, is a sight to behold. The nave, while plain and simple in its architectural features, boasts of unadorned capitals on its huge Norman pillars and slightly-enriched arches that they support. The triforia and clerestory windows above them, along with the vaulting of the roof, exhibit severe yet admirable character. The clustered columns, which spring the vaulting-ribs, are fine features in the nave, and the corbels on which they rest are sculptured in grotesque forms, adding an element of whimsy to the otherwise serious architectural design. The choir-roof is a marvel, its vaulting covered with a network of tracery that creates a mesmerizing pattern. However, the organ-case, in the vile Gothic taste of the seventeenth century, unfortunately mars the effect of the building. Despite this, the photograph captures the essence of the festival, where music and faith came together to celebrate the splendor of the cathedral and the joy of community.
