This postcard shows Yosemite Valley’s Cathedral Spires – two large towering pillars of rock, rising from amidst the trees of the valley.

The image appears to have been glued onto a different postcard.

Comments and Context

In Charles C. Myers’s own words, “On our way back to the hotel we pass Cathedral Spires, two narrow tapering pinnacles of rock, whose symmetry and grace suggest the wonderous [sic] architecture of the old world. Formerly there were three of these towers, but many years ago an earthquake broke one of them off and sent it into the valley far below. These rock get their name from their resemblence [sic] to the Duomo at Florence, Italy and they reach an elevation of 2660 ft from the floor of the valley.”
