Description: Cambridge, UNITED KINGDOM - King's Chapel - Vault & Organ - ARCHITECTURE: King's College Chapel is the chapel to King's College of the University of Cambridge, and it is considered one of the finest examples of late Perpendicular Gothic English architecture. The chapel was built in phases by a succession of kings of England from 1446 to 1515, a period which spanned the Wars of the Roses. The chapel's large stained glass windows were not completed until 1531, and its early Renaissance rood screen was erected in 1532–36. The chapel is an active house of worship, and home of the King's College Choir. The chapel is a significant tourist site and commonly used symbol of the city of Cambridge. Perpendicular Gothic (or simply Perpendicular) is the third historical division of English Gothic architecture, and is so-called because it is characterized by an emphasis on vertical lines. An alternative name, the Rectilinear, was suggested by Edmund Sharpe, and is preferred by some as more accurate, but has never gained widespread use. This Photochromatic, Real Photo postcard offers a view looking up to the vault ceiling passed the chapel's organ and rood scene, which separates the nave from the altar area. The card is in good condition. Jerrold & Sons Ltd. Norwich.
