Fifth Ave Front Detail, New York Public Library, New York, NY, 1903,Photogravure.

A Beautifully Detailed, Original Photogravure of the Detail of the Fifth Ave. Front of the New York Public Library in New York, New York.  EARLY PHOTOGRAPH.  Carrere & Hastings, Architects.  From the American Architect and Building News, April 11, 1903.

This picture is extremely hard to find.  The American Architect and Building News had a very small circulation during this time and these originalphotogravures 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.
