Wells Cathedral is a 1923 by Herbert Gordon Warlow, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This is a black-and-white drawing of a tall, detailed cathedral. The building has pointed towers, arched windows, and lots of small statues along the walls. People are gathered in front—some walking, some standing in groups, and a few on horseback. The artist focused on the cathedral’s intricate carvings and towering height. This style was common for showing grand buildings in older prints. Check out the artist’s other works at Herbert Gordon Warlow (British, 1885–1942).
