First Church of Christ Scientist, #2, Long Beach, CA, 1914, Lithograph. Elmer Grey.

A Beautifully Detailed, Original Lithograph of the First Church of Christ Scientist in Long Beach, California.  EARLY PHOTOGRAPH.  Mr. Elmer Grey, Architect.  From the American Architect, May 27, 1914.

This picture is extremely hard to find.  The American Architect had a very small circulation during this time and these original photogravures only appeared in a very limited number of issues that were distributed to a few prominent architects. It measures 8.5 by 11.75 inches.  Has a mat border and foam core backing (not attached to the picture).  The whole picture measures approximately 12 by 16 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.
