The interior of King's College Chapel in Cambridge, with its fan-vaulted ceiling, organ, and wooden choir stalls. The chapel is the defining building of King's College, one of the constituent colleges of the University of Cambridge, and its late Gothic fan vault is among the best known in England. The sender's note treats the card as a souvenir, a common use for views of Cambridge.
