West Facade of the Palais de Justice , Liege, Belgium, EUR
n/a, architect(s). From the American Architect and Building News, August 23, 1890. 12.75 by 8.75 inches. VG+ condition with browning around the edges and light crinkling.
Gelatine Print. This is an original gelatine on fiber based paper. The Prince-Bishops' Palace of Liege is on place Saint-Lambert in the centre of Liege, Belgium. It was the residence of the former Prince-Bishops of Liege. It once faced St. Lambert's Cathedral. At present the building is occupied by the provincial services of Liege and the Palais de Justice. 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 12.75 by 8.75 inches. Has a mat border and foam core backing (not attached to the picture). The whole picture measures approximately 15.5 by 11.5 inches (with border). Extraordinary detail in this early photographic print. Shrink wrapped.
