About this Item
Folio album with leaves measuring 10 1/2 x 13 1/2 inches. The album contains 26 very sharp heliogravures of most of the buildings at Harvard. The gravure sheets measure 10 x 17 inches with the images generally being 8 x 6 inches. One gravure to each leaf all all with extensive manuscript captioning beneath. Contemporary blue cloth with front heavily gilt in a floral pattern and with two circular insets of songs birds. The first nine leaves have become detached from their stub to little consequence. A very nice collection, enhanced by the knowledgeable captions. It is very difficult to ascribe a time as there are no people or cars in any of the views but as Hemenway Gymnasium was torn down in 1938 that is the latest possible date (although from other factors we think it more likely to be around 1910). There nearly as many interior images as exterior and the last image is of the Student Boat House on the Charles River. Some of the buildings included are ; Law School, Massachusetts Hall, Harvard Hall, Appleton Chapel, Neld Hall, etc. Seller Inventory # 74841
