A propos de cet article

Excellent. Slight rippling to sheet, else a fine, bright example. Size 17 x 30 Inches. This is a scarce 1906 Richard Rummell view of Princeton University, in a brilliant full-color example. This is the earlier of two views of the campus Rummell produced. A Closer Look Overlooking campus from a point high above today's Rockefeller College and Nassau Street, Alexander Hall and Maclean House appear immediately on the left. On the right, the first recognizable buildings are Blair and Buyers Halls and the Blair Arch. The old Halstead Observatory appears in front of Blair Hall, which is where Joline Hall stands today. Witherspoon Hall appears immediately behind the Blair Arch. Edwards Hall is partially blocked by Witherspoon Hall and Edwards does the same thing to Dod Hall. Both Little Hall and the Dillon Gym appear to the right of Edwards and Dod, and Princeton's railroad station adorns the right border with several horse-drawn carriages waiting. Returning to Alexander Hall at the center, Stanhope Hall is blocked by trees and Nassau Hall with its iconic belfry. East Payne Hall and Chancellor Green, then Princeton's library, are to the left of Nassau Hall. Dodge Hall appears to the right of East Payne Hall and McCosh Hall is illustrated to the left and behind both Didge Hall and East Payne Hall. 1879 Hall is recognizable in the background on the left. Rummell University Views Rummell was an American landscape artist known for his drawings of American universities. At the turn of the century, Littig and Company commissioned Rummell to prepare watercolors of some of the nation's most prestigious colleges. From these watercolors, copperplates were engraved, and a limited number of engravings were issued. Most of Rummell's university views are strikingly similar in style, revealing the entire campus in panoramic splendor. The views are uniformly issued from an altitude of about 300 feet, suggesting the Rummell most likely worked from a balloon. Publication History and Census This is the first of Rummell's views of Princeton, drawn no earlier than 1906. It was commissioned and printed by Littig Company of New York, but printings were also executed by Boston's A.W. Elson and Co. We have seen modern restrikes from the original Littig plates; we can be confident this is not one of these, as the restrikes bear the Littig imprint (absent here). References: OCLC 54650256.
