London, UK: St Paul's Cathedral

The massive St Paul cathedral in London, built in the late 17th century was designed by Sir Christopher Wren. It has a long and colorful history before that era, as well as after.

There was an organ by Bernard Smith from 1694. But in the 1870's an essentially new Willis organ was installed. It is that instrument that is part of the postcard image.The most recent work on the instrument took place in the early 2000's by the Mander firm.

My black and white card is unused; there are no dates to tell when it might have been produced. It shows the entire east end of the cathedral from the crossing area.
