Vintage Architectural Print – Westminster Cathedral Copper Domes, London (c. Early-Mid 20th Century) – Mounted 15 x 20 cm

Description

Description:

This is a striking vintage black-and-white architectural print featuring the copper domes and the bell tower of Westminster Cathedral, London. The image prominently showcases the cathedral’s iconic campanile tower, rising dramatically above the domed copper roofs in the foreground. The architect of this remarkable structure, John Francis Bentley, is credited with designing the cathedral, while this specific image lists L. H. Shattock in reference—likely connected with the photograph or publication.

The print highlights the distinctive Byzantine Revival architectural style of Westminster Cathedral, the mother church of the Catholic Church in England and Wales, constructed between 1895 and 1903. The unique red-and-white striped tower and gently curving domes make this a superb example of early 20th-century ecclesiastical architecture.

This genuine vintage image has been carefully mounted on black card, making it suitable for framing or archival display. Measures approximately 15 x 20 cm (mounted).
