Bathed in soft daylight, the spire of Salisbury Cathedral rises 404 feet above tranquil cloisters, its Decorated Gothic lines etched crisply against the Wiltshire sky. The view captures not only England’s tallest church spire but the medieval grace of its late 13th-century arcades — a sacred calm frozen in print.

Published by Walter Scott of Bradford, this postcard forms part of the Natural Colour “Post Office Preferred” series and is numbered C.E.130. The caption informs us that Salisbury’s cloisters are the largest in England, and its spire, begun around 1330, is widely regarded as one of the most perfect examples of its architectural style. The reverse remains unused and features the publisher’s distinctive signature logo.

This card celebrates England’s ecclesiastical artistry and historical continuity. Preserving it allows us to keep alive the visual language of reverence, scale, and skilled craftsmanship — a miniature archive of sacred heritage, suitable for collectors and admirers of English cathedrals.
