Description: Here we see an image of the ruins of the Bell Chapel in Thornton, in Yorkshire. It is nicknamed the ‘Bronte Bell Chapel’, as it is where several members of the Bronte family were baptized, and Patrick Bronte, Charlotte, Emily, Branwell, and Anne’s father preached between 1815 and 1820. The image is a reproduction of a photograph using a technique called photogravure, where photographs are taken on plates which could then be etched on to create a plate for use in a printing press.
