Pennsylvania State University

• Richard Rummell. "The Pennsylvania State College." [Penn State]. Published in New York by Littig & Company, 1910. Photogravure. Uncolored as issued. Very good to excellent condition.

  At the turn of the century, a small New York art publisher, Littig & Company commissioned various artists to create a series of watercolor paintings of some of the nations most prestigious colleges and schools. From these water colors, engravings in photogravure were made on copper plates and distriubuted, in limited number, to the various schools and to a few art dealers throughout the country. Many may still be seen in the Administration building and in the offices of the Deans in many of the region's finest schools. These prints differs widely from other college prints in their panoramic quality: indeed, in many cases, they offer the only panoramic views available today. Each artist visited a campus and conferred with the Administration about future buildings authorized for the school. He would then draw these projected buildings into the campus scene, which was projected from an apparent altitude of about 300 feet. In some cases, this gives the viewer the impression that the scene was painted perhaps ten years later. On a few occasions, building plans were subsequently altered which resulted in an inaccurate depiction of the college. Many find these minor alterations historically interesting and amusing. $750

  A rare chromolithographic view of Nassau Hall at Princeton University. The scene is drawn from Nassau Street, looking across the green towards the hall with its distinctive cupola.

There are not many nineteenth century images of Princeton and this is one of the best. $2,800
