Description: Real photo postcard depicting the historic Lych Gate at Grasmere, in the Lake District of England, part of the Abraham\'s Series published from Keswick. Two figures, including what appears to be a woman and child, stand beneath the traditional stone-and-timber roofed gateway, which is associated with St. Oswald\'s Church. Grasmere is famous as the home of poet William Wordsworth, and the church and its lych gate are popular destinations for literary and heritage visitors.
