Rather than a direct view of the scene, this picture reproduces an older mezzotint, a copper-plate printmaking method known for its soft gradations of shadow and light. The record notes that the original print was copyrighted by Lynch & Cameron, and the photographic copy dates to about 1912. The caption data comes from an old card that has not been verified against the library's records, so the exact church shown and the date of the original engraving are worth checking before relying on them.
