Help place the CP statue! Terry? :/

Post by Falkor »

The statue in the foreground (UNA AND THE LION), according to the Samuel Philips Book, is somewhere in the Central Transept, but I'm unable to place it. Can somebody (Terry?) please tell me exactly which part of the Central Transept contained this statue? Is there any other images of this statue? I don't seem to recall seeing it in Terry's topic. Also, can you identify the area in the background, including the name of the statue there?

Of this actual stereoview, no, after being on www.worldofstereoviews.com site for years, when it went on ebay it was bought by someone else. I haven't seen a similar.

What's with the high resolution issue?

What do you mean? Higher res = more detail! I could do with some more images of the South Transept's East-West axis, preferably in higher res. The ones you posted in your topic are the only ones I've ever seen. As you know the most common views show the Nave looking north.

Another quick non-trick question... "Outside the French Court" = West Facade or East Facade of Foreign Court?

Would have to be the west/nave facade. The gallery that ran behind would have made the view more gloomy.

Never forget that these views are not snapshots, but composed photographs. These casts were on hollow wooden bases, and I suspect were often arranged for each occasion.
