About this postcard

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.
