Calcutta Cathedral, from a sketch by one of our special artists, 1876. 'The Cathedral Church of St. Paul, at Calcutta, where the Prince of Wales (future King Edward VII] attended the performance of Divine worship on Christmas is a noble edifice, of brick coated with chunam, to resemble polished white marble. The tower and spire are like those of Norwich Cathedral. It was built, above thirty years ago, at a cost of £50,000, raised mainly by the efforts of the late Bishop Daniel Wilson'. From "Illustrated London News", 1876.
