Harvard University 250th Anniversary 4 Views of Campus, 1880s Antique Print

Description: You are bidding on a large original antique print from an 1880s illustrated journal. The quality of the printing from that era was exceptional. It depicts four views of Harvard University at the time of the 250th Anniversary of the University. Shown are Austin Hall, the COllege Yard, Sever Hall and Memorial Hall.AUSTIN HALL HISTORY: The first building constructed specifically for Harvard Law School, Austin Hall opened in 1883. The building signified a new era in the school's history, far removed from its humble beginnings in a single room belonging to Harvard College. Designed by famed architect Henry Hobson Richardson, its entryway features sweeping arches in the Romanesque Revival style. Close inspection reveals the intricate carvings of faces and mythological creatures that serve as the building's year-round welcoming committee. Additional arches are to be found on the first floor, which houses three large classrooms in addition to the offices of the Clinical Program, where students apply their academic experiences in realistic legal situations.SEVER HALL is a notable building designed by famed American architect H. H. Richardson. It is located on the grounds of Harvard University in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and is now a National Historic Landmark. Sever has small classrooms and larger lecture halls, so it is mostly used as a general-purpose classroom building for humanities courses, especially small sections, beginning language courses, and Harvard Extension School classes. The fourth floor of Sever, unnoticed by many of its students as the central stairwell does not lead to it, contains offices for Harvard's Visual and Environmental Studies department. In the evenings and on weekends student groups hold meetings or run annual events. One of Sever's notable annual events is Vericon, run during the break between semesters by the Harvard-Radcliffe Science-Fiction Association.Memorial Hall is an imposing brick building in High Victorian Gothic style, located on the Harvard University campus in Cambridge, Massachusetts. It is now a National Historic Landmark. Memorial Hall was erected in honor of Harvard graduates who fought for the Union in the American Civil War. Memorial Hall contains Sanders Theatre, a lecture and concert hall of 1,166 seats, wood-paneled with statues of James Otis (by Thomas Crawford) and Josiah Quincy (by William Wetmore Story), and inspired by Christopher Wren's Sheldonian Theatre at Oxford, England. It contains John La Farge's stained glass window Athena Tying a Mourning Fillet.The print is very large (folio size), measuring approximately 11 x 16 inches (28 x 40.5 cm). The picture fills most of the page, with a caption below.The page is in excellent condition for its age. It does not touch the picture area and could be trimmed when framed. There is text/photos on the back of the print. See scan for an accurate view of the condition. This print will come with a Certificate of Authenticity. Powered by SixBit's eCommerce Solution
