First of all thank you VERY MUCH Bill! I am very grateful for your effort in this. :)
The Cathedral does indeed look right to me although from a different angle. I wonder if it is possible that the characters were added at a later date than the actual time that this was painted?
I am honored to have such a unique painting. Apparently it came from San Francisco California U.S.A. at some point since there is a framing stamp on the back with a gum label that says San Francisco /Paris on it. I live in Redding California which is 200 miles north of San Fran which makes sense how it ended up here eventually.
I am very curious how it made it's way here all the way from Korea and suppose I will never really know, but the mystery is unraveling thanks to your kind help! :)

Best Regards and heartfelt thanks..

Doug Colosio
