Description: This print is from a rare portfolio of high quality photogravure prints dating from 1904. The printing method was the mechanical photogravure-- an extremely high-end printing method of the Victorian/Edwardian era that delivered incredible detail and no dot matrix pattern. This 100+ year-old print depicts the old library (then called the "New" library) at Leland Stanford Junior University (Stanford University or Stanford) near Palo Alto California. This image was made shortly before the earthquake of 1906 that damaged the building before it could be occupied. It was demolished after the earthquake, along with the old Gymnasium. This incredibly beautiful photogravure is single-sided. It was glued onto gray/brown paper by the corners. It would probably be fairly easy to steam off the photogravure, but I have not tried. The outer gray paper has wear at the corners that could easily be trimmed. Tons of detail in this print, and beautiful tones. This would look wonderful framed. The brown page measures 9 x 7.25 inches (22.5 x 18 cm), and the actual image area is about 5.8 x 3.5 inches (14.5 x 8.8 cm). Powered by SixBit's eCommerce Solution
