This print showcases the magnificent Truro Cathedral in Cornwall during the early 20th century. The artist behind this stunning piece is none other than the Church Army Lantern Department, known for their exceptional craftsmanship in capturing architectural beauty. Truro Cathedral, built in the Gothic Revival style, holds a significant place in English history as it was the first new cathedral to be constructed since Salisbury Cathedral over six centuries prior. The construction of this grand structure began in 1880 and reached completion three decades later, under the masterful guidance of church architect John Loughborough Pearson. As one gazes upon this image, they are transported back in time to witness the intricate details of its interior.
