End of Reading-Room: State Library in the New York Capitol , Albany, NY
H.H. Richardson and I.G. Perry, architect(s). From the American Architect and Building News, January 1, 1898. 8.75 by 13 inches. VG+ condition with some light browning and light rubbing around edges.
Gelatine Print. This is an original gelatine photo on fiber based paper. This picture is extremely hard to find. The American Architect and Building News had a very small circulation during this time and these original prints only appeared in a very limited number of issues that were distributed to a few prominent architects. The photo measures approx. 8.75 by 13 inches. Has a mat border and foam core backing (not attached to the picture). The whole picture measures approx. 11.75 by 16 inches (with border). Extraordinary detail in this early photographic print.
