Sepia-toned view of Lincoln Cathedral silhouetted on its hill against a cloud-streaked sunset sky, with a broad band of light reflected on the water in the foreground. The cathedral's towers and long Gothic profile rise above the city, a landmark that has dominated Lincoln since the 11th century. The scene emphasizes the building's outline and the last light on the water rather than architectural detail.
Sepia toned; heavy surface scratches and speckling, corner chip at upper left, edge wear; no white border.
No postmark, stamp, address, or handwritten message. Undivided back: 'POST CARD' header with J.N. diamond monogram, 'MADE IN ENGLAND.' box top right, and a vertical publisher imprint along the centre ('ROCK, STELLA ROAD, LONDON, S.W.17.'). Printed caption 'Lincoln Cathedral, at Sunset.' Pencil dealer price '112 / 2.00' at top right. Sepia card, worn/rounded corners, foxing spots.
