    Description

    DESCRIPTION
    – Unusual and possibly unique hanging panel with four large glass plate photographs of the Bronx Zoo or Bronx Zoological Park, as it was called at the time. The photographs and custom oak mounting or frame date to the early 1900’s (photos 1900-1910). The top photo is of the Reptile House. The second photo down is of a fowl type of bird nestled in foliage. The third photo down is of the sea lions being fed by zoo keepers at the Sea Lion Pool. You can see Zoological Park on the cap of the keeper. The bottom photo is of a crane or crane-like bird. The mounting is well constructed and finished in the Arts and Crafts tradition of the time period. The mullions are nicely mitered, the wood is quarter sawn oak and the finish is an original warm medium oak color. The best way of viewing the images is to display the panel in front of a light source such as a window.
    CONDITION
    – The condition is very good and original. The glass plates have some stable/inactive emulsion defects, but I believe these were in their production. Please enlarge and view all of photos as they are an essential part of the description.
    SIZE
    – Overall the panel measures 35 1/4” tall x 11 1/2” wide x 3/4” thick. Each plate measures 7 1/2” x 9 1/2” (sight size of 8" x 10").
