Interior of the Dom, Lübeck, by Samuel Read, in the exhibition of the Society of Painters in Water Colours, 1862. Engraving of a painting. 'Among other interesting foreign church interiors by this gentleman exhibited at Pall-mall the "Interior of the Dom, or the Cathedral, of Lübeck" has the recommendation to many, even old, Continental travellers of unfamiliarity. Lübeck is, nevertheless, one of the most picturesque old towns in Germany, and deserves more attention than is usually given to it by travellers. The brick-built Dom still witnesses to the former importance of the Imperial free city, its side chapels containing the monuments of many of the patrician families of Lübeck, and the choir tombs of numerous Bishops and Canons. The portraits of two of the old burgesses hang on the flanking walls in our Engraving. The rood-loft between these is very interesting, with its elaborately-carved crucifix, kneeling effigies of the patron and patroness, and numerous other images, of various size, of saints, and canonised sinners too, probably, some of them. The screen of the choir is considered one of the best existing specimens of wood-carving of the Early German school, about the time of Lucas Cranach'. From "Illustrated London News", 1862.
