Photograph taken within the Lower Chapel of Rosslyn Chapel, Midlothian, Scotland. A chair with a book support stands in the foreground with a table that supports the church silver in the right background. The 'Prentice Pillar' stands in the background, to the left of the pillar in the foreground.

The 'Prentice Pillar' dates to the 15th century and features carved dragons at its base and diagonally winding carvings wrapped around the outside. The pillar's name is based in 18th century legend which states that the pillar was carved by a precocious apprentice. Rosslyn Chapel was visited by Queen Victoria as well as artists and writers, including William Wordsworth and Sir Walter Scott. It was partially due to these prestigious associations Wilson knew that photographs of the chapel would be popular photographic souvenirs.
