Christ in Majesty, Hereford Choir Screen, George Gilbert Scott 1862

I was recently invited to participate in a collaborative project with the Victoria and Albert Museum and the Paul Mellon Centre to publish the first account of the great screen by Scott and Skidmore (now in the V&A). After presenting our preliminary work in summer 2016, a handful of experts were allowed unprecedented access to the screen. Standing precariously on a chair with one leg and leaning on my colleague from Berkeley, this photo of the central Christ in Majesty was a lucky shot captured with my iPhone.
