The engraving of Anthony Trollope, a renowned novelist, reminds us that even literary geniuses can find solace in their spiritual pursuits. The black and white photographs take us inside the majestic Westminster Abbey in London, where centuries-old history is etched on every stone. As we gaze upon its interior, we can almost hear the echoes of prayers whispered by devoted souls seeking solace within its hallowed walls. A chromo artwork depicting the "Fortress of Faith" besieged by unbelievers and heretics transports us back to a tumultuous era when religious beliefs were fiercely defended against opposition. This vivid illustration serves as a reminder that faith often faces challenges but endures with unwavering determination.

It evokes deep emotions and reflects the profound connection between spirituality and mortality. Another oil painting portrays "The Citizens of Antwerp" returning sacred vessels hidden from Tankelin during troubled times. This scene depicts not only devotion but also resilience in preserving cherished symbols amidst adversity. An engraving showcasing "The Execution of Martyrs Gorkum" takes us to a dark period when individuals paid the ultimate price for their unwavering commitment to their faith. Their sacrifice stands as a testament to courage and conviction that continues to inspire generations. Bishop Crowther's photograph alongside his son Dandeson provides a glimpse into more recent history – capturing moments frozen in time from 1870s Nigeria.
