EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the exquisite beauty of the Overmantel in The Perne Library at Peterhouse College, Cambridge University. Built between 1590-95 under the direction of Dr Andrew Perne, this library holds a rich history within its walls. In 1633, it was extended by 36 feet to the east, further enhancing its grandeur. The interior of The Perne Library is adorned with intricate woodwork and fittings dating back to 1641-48. Renowned craftsman William Ashley meticulously crafted these ornate details after completing work on the chapel. This photograph showcases his exceptional skill in capturing every delicate curve and line. The focal point of this image is undoubtedly the overmantel, which stands as a testament to neo-classical design. Its broken pediment adds an air of elegance and sophistication to the room while drawing attention to its intricately carved features. Each detail tells a story, inviting viewers into a world where knowledge and artistry intertwine. Photographer Frederick Henry Evans expertly captures this moment in time through his lens, allowing us to appreciate not only the craftsmanship but also the ambiance that permeates throughout The Perne Library. With each glance at this photograph, one can't help but be transported back in time to an era when libraries were revered as sanctuaries for learning and discovery. This print from Fine Art Finder serves as a reminder of our shared cultural heritage – an ode to both England's architectural prowess and Frederick Henry Evans' photographic genius.
