The Italian Chapel Orkney Islands Scotland Postcard

The Italian Chapel Orkney Islands Scotland Postcard

This postcard features The Italian Chapel in the Orkney Islands in Scotland. According to Philip Paris of The Guardian, "The chapel had been built by Italian prisoners of war, who were transported from the heat of the North African desert for the freezing cold of an Orkney winter at the beginning of 1942. Around 500 were sent to Camp 60 on the tiny island of Lamb Holm in order to work on the famous Churchill Barriers, sealing the eastern entrances to Scapa Flow, harbour of the British Home Fleet. Building the chapel became the Italians' escape to cultural and spiritual freedom while their bodies remained in captivity. Former enemies became friends. The chapel was completed in late summer 1944 and on 9 September, everyone in Camp 60 was moved. After the war, the demolition team sent to take down the camp refused to touch the converted Nissen hut, with its lanterns made from bully beef tins, and it was left alone in the field."

Bought 10 Shakespeare quotes postcards and have framed them individually and placed them around the house Love them, some are funny and some are deep and meaningful! Lovely background on some, excellent printed words. A couple of plain white cards with black print - very stricking

My order was probably an awkward one! I asked for a range of different fine-art prints, in postcard size. It was all freshly printed, delivered quickly and at a very reasonable price. Best quality matt finish I've seen on a fine-art print.
