Magic Lantern Slide: Exeter Cathedral, Electric Floodlighting 1933
- Description
- William Weaver Baker’s photograph shows the North tower of Exeter Cathedral, lit by electric floodlight.

This is one of two images he took of the Cathedral using different lighting techniques, presumably at the time it changed from gas to electricity.
