St. Paul's dome rises intact above the rubble of the Blitz in this haunting wartime postcard from the "London Under Fire" series, the cleared sightline down Cannon Street made possible only by the destruction of the buildings that once blocked it — a view later deliberately preserved in postwar rebuilding plans. The reverse carries a Churchill quote urging Britons to "stand together, and hold firm."
