1891 Scientific American Print: Fordham Heights Residence vintage lithograph
$119.00
Authentic antique lithograph, not a reproduction, in excellent vintage condition.
One 1″ closed tear at lower right edge (repaired on back with whatever kind of tape was available in the 1890s – not Scotch), reverse side of which is scuffed as seen in images/video, one small chip to edge on upper right, some minimal edge chips in a few places, 2-3 closed 1/8″ tears around; quite solid and clean, no writing, folds or significant creases.
This plate has been salvaged from a 130 year old bound volume of several issues of the magazine Scientific American, Architects and Builders edition. At that time, instead of reprinting the pages of the magazines as a book, they actually took the magazines themselves and bound them. This book had been heavily damaged over the years, but the wonderful plates were mostly able to be saved.
These plates have become quite scarce over the decades, this could be your only chance to acquire one.
Last image in listing shows how entire page with margins is laid out.

Full page -10 1/4 x 15 3/4 inches tall
Illustration – 9 1/4 x 13 3/4 inches tall
Will look wonderful framed! Quite charming indeed.
