In St Mary's Church, Tenby

Inside the image.

A square cover has a narrow white margin around a rectangular night-time photograph, inset slightly from all four edges. The photograph shows a stone church and its tall, sharply pointed spire, which rises near the centre and dominates the composition. The spire is pale and brightly lit against a nearly black sky; below it, the square tower and adjoining church walls glow yellow-gold. The church façade stretches across the lower right, with a steep gabled section, narrow arched windows and a large, ornate pointed window. A smaller entrance and dark iron railings sit near the foot of the building.

On the left, the tower meets a cluster of pale multi-storey town buildings with rectangular windows and shopfronts. A bright streetlamp flares in front of them, casting a cool white-green glow across the street. Smaller lamps and points of light recede towards the right edge. Several tiny figures are gathered along the pavement and around the railings; one person in a light-coloured garment stands at the far left. Their features are indistinct at this scale. The street forms a dark, uneven strip across the foreground, with faint reflections and scattered pools of light. The contrast between the black sky and the warm illumination on the masonry gives the photograph a dramatic division between dark upper space and luminous architecture below.

A block of pale lettering occupies the upper-right portion of the photograph, set against the dark sky. Its lines are centred and vary in size: the largest read “Côr Ieuenctid / Sir Benfro”, followed by “Pembrokeshire / Youth Choir”. Smaller lines below include “Gorwyddwr · Director / JOHN S. DAVIES”, then “YN CYNNWYS Y RECORDIAD / CYNTAF O / INCLUDES THE FIRST / RECORDING OF / LEARSONGS / William Matthias”. The lettering is serifed and formal, with the choir name and “LEARSONGS” given particular prominence. The image is a grainy-looking colour photograph, though the visible softness may be part of the reproduced image; no other illustration or graphic motif is apparent.
