Description | Black and white postcard showing the South Transept in Westminster Abbey. The view includes monuments along the south and west walls of the transept, including that of John Campbell, 2nd Duke of Argyll. The caption on the reverse of the card reads: 'South Transept and Poets' Corner have intermingled in doing honour to many illustrious poets, musicians, dramatists and artists. Chaucer and Spencer are in the original Poets' Corner to the left of the picture as well as Tennyson and Browning, while in the Transept itself are the graves of Charles Dickens, Garrick and Irving, Dr. Johnson, Macaulay and Handel.
