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.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the grandeur of Westminster Abbey's north aisle in 1860. A remarkable piece from Victor Albert Proutas' album of photographs, it offers a rare glimpse into the early interior views of this iconic London landmark. The image showcases the intricate details and architectural splendor that have made Westminster Abbey an enduring symbol of British history. The north aisle is beautifully captured, revealing monuments outside the Chapel of St John the Baptist. It is fascinating to note that some of these monuments have undergone repairs or restorations since then, making this photograph even more valuable as a historical record. Published by Mr J Elliot and praised by The Athenaeum for their fine and powerful qualities, Proutas' images truly stand out among his contemporaries. This particular view exemplifies his talent for capturing both the grand scale and intimate intricacies within one frame. As we admire this albumen print today, we are transported back to Victorian England, where Gothic architecture reigned supreme and reverence for heritage was paramount. Historic England has preserved this extraordinary piece as part of their archive, allowing us to appreciate not only its artistic value but also its significance in documenting our shared cultural heritage.
