The Chapel at the End of the World is a giclée printed reproduction of an original illustration by Sarah Young, done for a book cover of the same name written by Kirsten McKenzie. The Italian Chapel still exists in Orkney, it consists of two Nissen huts transformed into a beautiful chapel by Domenico Chiocchetti and his colleagues, prisoners of war captured in North Africa and transported to the Island of Lambholm in Orkney.
