Artikelbeschreibung des Verkäufers

Excellent. 20.25 x 30.5 in, paper size. Signed in pencil. Size 16 x 29 Inches. A scarce 1906 proof printing of the first-edition bird's-eye view of Yale University, drawn by Richard Rummell and signed by the same in pencil in the lower right corner. It was published by F. D. Nichols of Boston. This is not only Rummell's first university view, it is the first printing of such - copyrighted to Nichols and printed by Elson, thus predating Rummell's contract with Littig. A Closer Look The view is centered on Osborne Hall (now demolished and replaced with Bingham Hall) with its distinctive chapel-like façade. Chapel Street runs in front of the Hall and Temple Street can be seen running northward towards East Rock. Many of the extant buildings of the historic Old Campus, including Connecticut Hall (1752), are easily recognizable. Welch Hall and Lawrence Hall stand alongside College Street, across from the New Haven Green, which is complete with the three chapels that still stand: United Church on the Green (Congregational, 1814), Center Church (Congregational, 1812), and Trinity Episcopal Church on the Green (1816). In the distance, the heights of East Rock, with its distinctive Soldiers and Sailors Monument, are recognizable. Rummell University Views Rummell was an American landscape artist known for his drawings of American universities. In 1906, Rummell issued his first university view - an illustration of Yale (as here). That view was a sepia tone photogravure copyrighted by F. D. Nichols of Boston and printed by A. W. Elson of Boston. A view of Harvard, likely Rummell's second view, also appeared in 1906 with the same Nicholson/Elson imprint. Subsequently, Littig and Company of New York commissioned Rummell to prepare watercolors of many of the nation's most prestigious colleges. From these watercolors, copperplates were engraved, and both photogravures and lithographs were issued. The photogravures tend to have a much lower survival rate than the lithographed images, which were printed on heavier paper. 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 that Rummell most likely worked from a balloon. Rummell's First University View? Of Rummell university views, the Yale and Harvard views are particular both in format and printing style. Unlike many Rummell university views, these early views appear in two formats, a sepia-toned photogravure copyrighted by F. D. Nichols of Boston and the lithograph view issued by Littig in New York. It is likely that the photogravure is earlier, as it often lacks a title (as here). These and other oddities suggest that the Yale view was the first university view Rummell published, and Harvard the second. Being a Brooklynite, Yale would have been one of the nearest and easiest universities to focus on as a prototype for the series. Of all Rummell's university views, it is further noteworthy that the Nichols / Elson / Rummell Yale view is one of the rarest to the market. In more recent times, many of the original lithographic plates for Rummell's college views have been rediscovered, leading to multiple modern reprints of the Littig editions, but the original lithograph printings and especially the photogravures, as here, have become extremely rare.…
