Description

This photograph is an illustration plate from page 193 of the book 'Ruined Abbeys and Castles of Great Britain', 1862, by William & Mary Howitt, and is still mounted on a page from the book. The book's text can be seen on the reverse of the page. The book's publication date therefore gives us the later date in this photograph's possible creation date range.
