| Description | Elevated view of Westminster Cathedral, possibly taken from Morpeth Terrace. Postcard published by Valentine's. The caption reads: "General view, Westminster Cathedral. The style of Westminster Cathedral is early Christian Byzantine; its prototype is Justinian's great church of Sta. Sophia at Constantinople and the nearest approach to it in Western Christendom is the Church of St Mark at Venice. So far as this part of Europe is concerned our Cathedral is unique. This vast edifice, erected in 1895-1903, was designed by J F Bentley (d. 1902). |
