There's a more contemporary view of the church posted on Wikipedia. The photograph was taken in 2006 by David Iliff from the Peterskirche tower, no doubt Kley's own vantage point.

Note:  My thanks to Joe Petro III for sharing with us some of the treasures from his private library. Joe's Wikipedia entry is right here. This is his fifth contribution to the blog and so far each has been a wonderful Saul Steinberg book. I would love to post other Steinberg treasures from other libraries on Attempted Bloggery so please send your scans or photos. No Wikipedia page required.
