Western Front of the Library of Congress, Washington, DC, 1897, Smithmeyer, Pelz & Casey
Western Front of the Library of Congress, Washington, DC Smithmeyer, Pelz & Casey, architect(s). From the American Architect and Building News, May 22, 1897. 13 by 9 inches. VG+ condition with browning around the edges and light crinkling. Gelatine Print. This picture is extremely hard to find. The American Architect and Building News had a very small circulation during this time and these original gelatine prints only appeared in a very limited number of issues that were distributed to a few prominent architects. It measures 13 by 9 inches. Has a mat border and foam core backing (not attached to the picture). The whole picture measures 17 by 13 inches (with border). Extraordinary detail in this early photographic print. Shrink wrapped.
