Salisbury Cathedral - The Nave, from the South Transept, 1858, Albumen silver print from glass negative, 30.2 x 31.1 cm (11 7/8 x 12 1/4 in. ), Photographs, Roger Fenton (British, 1819–1869), The dark interiors of Gothic cathedrals posed a particular challenge to early photographers. By leaving the shutter open perhaps as long as several hours, Fenton achieved the technical tour de force of making clearly legible the cathedral's lofty ordinance while at the same time registering the nuances of semidarkness peculiar to the Gothic space
