Soaring lancets of medieval glass flood this hushed interior with otherworldly light — the Great East Window of York Minster, one of the largest areas of medieval stained glass in the world, completed between 1405 and 1408, fills nearly the entire wall behind the Lady Chapel altar in this breathtaking real-photo postcard published by the prestigious Raphael Tuck & Sons. The wooden choir chairs are arranged with Victorian orderliness, and the ornate altar piece glows softly beneath the riot of biblical imagery in the glass above. A detail image reveals the chapel's carved screen and funerary monument in intimate close-up. Tuck's "Real Photograph" series, produced by Royal Appointment to the King and Queen and to H.R.H. the Prince of Wales, represents the gold standard of Edwardian postcard publishing.
