Portico, Deborah Cook Sayles Public Library, Pawtucket, RI, 1902, Lithograph. Cram, Goodhue & Ferguson.

A Beautifully Detailed, Original Lithograph of the Portico of the Deborah Cook Sayles Public Library in Pawtucket, Rhode Island.   EARLY PHOTOGRAPH.   Cram, Goodhue & Ferguson, Architects.  From the American Architect, October 11, 1904. 

This picture is extremely hard to find.  The American Architect and Building News had a very small circulation during this time and these original lithographs only appeared in a very limited number of issues that were distributed to a few prominent architects. It measures 13.25 by 17.75 inches.  Has a mat border and foam core backing (not attached to the picture).  The whole picture measures approximately 16 by 20 inches (with border).  Extraordinary detail in this early photographic print.  Shrink wrapped.

Plan is in VG+ condition with browning around the edges and light crinkling.

This is a highly unusual, scarce item.  See our other auctions for more original pictures from this era.
