Caption

Les chantres Espagnols - Le Lutre (The Spanish cantors, or The lectern), 1865. A group of Spanish cantors – leaders of prayer – sitting together in a monastery. They appear to be rehearsing as two monks are standing at the lectern reading from a large book – possibly the copy of the Gospels - while the others are sitting in pews holding candlesticks.
