Of course it was 😊 they claim to have “pivoted” to research, but within the last five years they definitely self promoted for meat and other products. This was all a farce.

Look at all these people crying because *checks notes* the animals they intended to kill for financial gain were killed for public health instead.

If I was to judge a book by its cover, I’d say this looks like a clear winner.

I’ve just turned on the 2005 Pride and Prejudice, made it about 3 minutes in, and I know I need to just turn on the 1995 miniseries and settle on in for a good time.

Here is one more of Ivor Castle's October 1916 photographs.

And one of these days I'll get around to creating some sort of comparative analysis of all of the photographers' approaches to this subject 😅

Ivor Castle photographed the Cathedral at least twice (October 1916, May 1917), while Rider-Rider photographed the Cathedral in October 1917. Their British counterparts Ernest Brooks and John Warwick Brooke each visited the Cathedral (Brooks returned and made pictures at least three times).

The photographers returned time and again to re-photograph the so-called "Leaning Virgin" to document her stages of destruction and eventual demise.
