Sacristy space at the Convento de São Francisco de Assis in Salvador, Bahia, is the room where a church kept its vestments, liturgical vessels, and records, and this one sits within a complex that is among Brazil's best-known Baroque ensembles. The Franciscans began building the church and convent in the early 1700s, and their interiors are celebrated for gilded woodwork and Portuguese tile panels. The card does not give a date for this photograph, so it is unclear when the room was recorded. Still, the picture offers a glimpse of the sacristy's furnishings and the careful craftsmanship that defined colonial religious architecture in the city.
