Description
The cathedral was built between c.1163 and 1345, started by Maurice de Sully. It was almost ruined during the revolutionary period in France during the late 18th century, and was restored in the 1840's by architect Eugene Viollet-le-Duc. The west front is comprised of three wide bays with a north and south tower with tall paired belfry openings and a continuous arcade underneath. There are three entrances, a band of niches with carved figures and a balcony above. The first floor has a large roundel in the centre, and paired lights in blind arches. The north entrance has two doors with a tympanum and four orders of arches with carved figures.
The print has ID 20.
