Hand-colored print of the interior of Roslin Chapel. When illuminated from behind, the view changes to a scene of an iron works. Spooner achieved this special effect by painting the scene of the iron works on the back of the print and attaching a layer of tissue over the painting. Both print and tissue are supported by a heavier paper frame.
