Photo and description courtesy Urban Remains Facebook page. “original undated oversized silver gelatin print of adler and sullivan’s garrick theater (1892). if this image was published, it would have been for a northwestern terra cotta association ad in "pencil points” around 1922. but to actually see the original, unaltered photographic image is truly remarkable and very informative. the exterior terra cotta looks so refreshingly clean, and the ornament detail, including the projecting cornice, comes across clear and crisp. due to its size, i’ve only scanned sections of it until i place it on a larger flatbed scanner later this week. sadly, it’s in a compromised state, so the image, while mostly intact, has several creases and is missing a few sections around the edges. unidentified photographer. courtesy of private collection."
