n/a, architect(s). From the American Architect and Building News, July 11, 1891. 8.75 by 12.75 inches. VG+ condition with browning around the edges and light crinkling.
Gelatine Print. This is an original gelatine on fiber based paper. Cologne Cathedral is a Roman Catholic church in Cologne, Germany. Cologne Cathedral was commenced in 1248 and left unfinished in 1473. Work recommenced in the 19th century and was completed, to the original plan, in 1880. This picture is extremely hard to find. The American Architect and Building News had a very small circulation during this time and these original gelatines only appeared in a very limited number of issues. It measures 8.75 by 12.75 inches. Has a mat border and foam core backing (not attached to the picture). The whole picture measures approximately 10.75 by 15.75 inches (with border). Extraordinary detail in this early photographic print. Shrink wrapped.
