c.1952 British travel poster that depicts the Salisbury Cathedral in the background and a scene from the visit of King Charles II in 1651. The poster was published by the Railway Executive (Southern Region). "Salisbury Cathedral, formally the Cathedral Church of the Blessed Virgin Mary, is an Anglican cathedral in the city of Salisbury, England. The cathedral is regarded as one of the leading examples of Early English Gothic design. Built over a relatively short period, some 38 years between 1220 and 1258, it has a unity and coherence that is unusual in mediaeval English cathedrals. The tower and spire were completed by 1330. The cathedral's spire, at 404 feet (123 m), is the tallest in England." (Wikipedia)
