The view shows St. Patrick's Cathedral on Fifth Avenue in New York, its twin Gothic spires and ornate stone facade rising above the surrounding buildings. A street runs along the lower edge, placing the cathedral in the dense city rather than in isolation. Completed in 1879 and designed by James Renwick Jr., the cathedral was a major Gothic Revival landmark; its twin towers were finished in 1888. By the early 1900s it was a familiar subject for postcard publishers.
