The Minster from the south east

A postcard with a view of the minster taken from the south east looking over the Bishop's Palace. Not dated.

The same photograph as the one above, but notice that the writing is in a different hand and the sky hasn't been washed out. There has been much more care taken in the print processing making me believe that this one was printed by Alfred and the one above by an assistant.

A postcard with a view of the minster taken from the north east. Not dated.
