Bathed in the soft silver tones of an original silver-gelatin print, this rare real-photo postcard captures the soaring Gothic splendor of St. George's Chapel at Windsor Castle circa 1927 — the flying buttresses and pinnacled parapets rendered with a crispness no printed card could match, even as age has lent the image an ethereal, almost ghostly quality. Handwritten in pencil directly on the image border are the words "Windsor Castle . 27," placing this almost certainly in the same year as the wedding of Lady Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon, or more likely as a tourist keepsake from the late 1920s when Windsor was at the height of its royal prestige. This is an unstamped, unaddressed card — never mailed — suggesting it was kept as a personal souvenir or collector's specimen. The Gothic perpendicular architecture of the chapel, begun by Edward IV in 1475 and completed under Henry VIII, is clearly identifiable with its massive west window and characteristic battlemented roofline.
