Description

A pointed window opening with carved stone tracery, including a flower-like motif and two curved pieces above a central stone mullion, is set in a wall of rough-cut blocks. Through the opening is a hazy view down a valley of hills and scrubby vegetation. A printed caption and a card border frame the image, and a worn stone ledge lies below the window.

Description, scan 2
A pointed stone window with carved tracery at the top sits in a wall of rough-cut blocks. Two arched lights below a central stone mullion frame a hazy view of hillsides covered in scrub. Broken masonry and a worn stone sill lie beneath it, and the whole picture is a printed card with a white border and printed legend along the bottom.
