- Description:
- Chapel of Tábor Hospital.
Fr. Pěnka writes on p. 622 of his book Moje cesta suchopárem života: “...The second room /number 17/ was the sisters’ prayer room. Against the eastern wall stood a fine little Gothic altar with a statue of the Immaculate Conception of Mary. To its right and left, on wall-mounted pedestals, were statuettes of two other saints. Opposite the altar were two benches for the sisters. The nuns devoted a great deal of time and care to decorating the chapel and especially the little altar with both natural and artificial flowers.” So much for the passage, which describes exactly what is in the photograph. I am convinced that the sisters’ prayer room was in the hospital from the beginning, so the photograph dates from 1890–1895. M. Pěnka. - Year:
- Varnishing has been used for collodium wet process negatives (used before the year 1890) but certainly some of later gelatine based negatives are varnished as well (minimally to the year 1901).
