Caption

Vilnius. Cathedral — interior of the royal crypt; photograph from nature by Jan Bulhak 1876–1950, 1931. Archcathedral Basilica of St. Stanislaus and St. Ladislaus Vilnius, crypts; archaeological excavations; burial of Barbara Radziwillówna Queen of Poland; 1520–1551; flood in Vilnius in 1931. Photograph, 11.5 × 17.0 cm., The image shows a close-up scene dominated by textured, rough surfaces in shades of black, gray, and off-white, featuring an arrangement of elongated, cylindrical objects lying on a dirt-covered ground with granular debris scattered around. A group of rope-like strands and bands are visible, appearing encrusted and tangled, alongside a few rigid, plank-like pieces. In the background there is a simple bench-like structure casting a shadow, and the overall lighting creates high contrast with deep shadows and bright highlights across the soil and objects.
