This is a faithful representation of the Dom. or the Cathedral. It is one of the finest if not the best in Europe. The spires are 530 feet high, beautiful windows & everything in proportion. The other tower is the museum. Have gone up and down the Rhine to Bingen 125 kilos. Sincerely, D.M. Grant Lt-Col. - Date of Original
