    I haven't yet been able to identify this gothic Cathedral. Could it be a 19th century sketch? Seems to have been made with graphite. It's pretty small, around 15x15cm[​IMG] [​IMG]

    I tried strengthening the image, but no joy.

    Not Exeter. I'm guessing Germany or points east.

    It's very distinctive. I tootled around France but couldn't find it.

    What appears to be a curved Gothic facade, an enormous rose window recessed behind an arcade, asymmetrical spires. Someone sure to recognize.
