Photographs of medieval architecture by Frederick Evans (1853-1943) were admired both by his fellows in the English photographic group known as the Brotherhood of the Linked Ring and by the avant-garde circle associated with Alfred Steiglitz and his magazine Camera Work in New York. For much of the 20th century, photography was transmitted not in the form of silver or platinum-based prints but in ink, and although Evans was a masterly printer of platinum photographs, this is a photogravure. It is one of a group by the Swan Electric Engraving Co., produced in 1900 from a photograph taken in 1895.
