These pieces are from a larger collection I have of officially deaccessioned artwork from the Brown University Art Department archive, where they were used for decades as classical reference plates(Please see other similar items from my collection of Brown University deaccessioned artwork, including photographs by Alinari, Anderson, Mansell, Neurdein Frères, Alessandro Vasari, and more).Included Views:

1. The interior entry hall looking out toward the ornate, custom wrought-iron entry gate doors.
2. Interior grand salon architectural details showcasing the deeply carved arched doorways, classical pilasters, and decorative monumental torchieres.
3. Rear exterior facade view of Rosecliff showing the grand terrace, arched French doors, and the expansive backyard ocean lawn that borders the historic Cliff Walk.

Specifications and Condition:
Each photo print is permanently flush-mounted onto its original thick, dark grey/green institutional cardstock mount board. The overall dimensions of each piece measure 14 inches by 10 inches. The lower left corner of each mount features the original typed archival identification strip reading: AMERICAN ARCHITECTURE, Newport, Rhode Island, Res. Mrs. Herman Oelrichs, McKim, Mead & White, 1902.The prints themselves retain excellent contrast, rich tonal depth, and sharp architectural details with minimal fading or silvering. The heavy backing boards show typical age-related edge and corner wear from institutional handling, adding to their authentic historic character.These make incredible display pieces for collectors of Rhode Island history, Gilded Age architecture, or Ivy League library ephemera.
