THE CATHEDRAL

THE CATHEDRAL IN NOVEMBER 1918.

In April 1919, visitors entered through the door in the Place du Cloître (see pp. [29] & [33]).

The Cathedral of Soissons (H.M.) may be considered as a miniature of that of Amiens. For the purity of its lines and simplicity of arrangement, it is probably the finest of the secondary Cathedrals in France.

THE CATHEDRAL BEFORE THE WAR.
The unfinished main front had only one tower.
