Description Engraving of the south elevation of Rosslyn Chapel by J Johnson
Date c. 1835
Collection Collection of papers relating to Rosslyn Chapel, Midlothian, Scotland
Catalogue Number SC 2581626
Category On-line Digital Images
Copy of AL 39/61
Scope and Content A View of the Chapel of Rosslyn from the South, engraved by J Johnson for the Gentleman and Lady’s Magazine, Volume III. The engraving depicts statues within the carved niches of the square sectioned buttresses; however, it is unlikely that the niches ever held statues, and their inclusion is almost certainly an addition by the artist. Possibly copied from John Slezer’s 'Capella de Rosslin. The Chapel of Rosslin', a copy of which is also held within this album (see AL 39/1).
