Gloucester Cathedral - the Porch, 1850. Creator: Unknown
Gloucester Cathedral - the Porch, 1850. Exterior of medieval cathedral in Gloucester, Gloucestershire. The south porch...is one of the most elegant examples of its kind remaining. It was built in 1422, and in all its features is perfectly beautiful, though time has, on the exterior, shorn the details of some of their most striking and elaborate portions; and in the interior, rude repairs and wilful mischief have played their parts on the sculptured work'. From "Illustrated London News", 1850

EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph print, dating back to 1850, showcases the breathtaking Porch of Gloucester Cathedral in Gloucestershire, England. The image, captured by an unknown photographer for the Illustrated London News, showcases the exterior of this magnificent medieval cathedral, which was built in the 15th century. The south porch, a masterpiece of its kind, was constructed in 1422 and is adorned with intricate details, though time has weathered some of its most elaborate features. The porch serves as the main entrance to the Cathedral Church of St. Peter and the Holy and Indivisible Trinity. The photograph captures the essence of the Middle Ages, with horse-drawn carriages and vehicles parked outside, and a queue of visitors eagerly waiting to enter the cathedral. The Gothic architecture, with its pointed arches and intricate stonework, stands in stark contrast to the modern horse-drawn carriages and the Victorian-era clothing of the people. The Porch of Gloucester Cathedral is a testament to the rich history and cultural significance of this beautiful building, which has stood the test of time and continues to be a popular tourist attraction and a symbol of religious and architectural heritage. This photograph print is a unique and captivating glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into the beauty and grandeur of this magnificent structure.
