1880? - Boiler House from Lookout Hill
"Did you know you can see Coney Island from Prospect Park? You can, and much more besides, from a spot hidden in plain site 177 feet above sea level called Lookout Hill. Located between the lower lake and the Nethermead on the park’s southeastern end, Lookout Hill first entered the history books as the site of a noble last stand by the Maryland 400, a company of Patriots who protected the American retreat during the the Battle of Brooklyn in 1776 (a monument to the heroes lies at the hill’s lake-side base, designed by the famous architect Stanford White). Later it became the civilized centerpiece of Olmsted and Vaux’s 1870 design for their park. Curving carriageways would bring the good burghers of Brooklyn up the elevation, where they would decamp on a landscaped plateau." From Daniel London's article in untappedcities.com This image is a stereograph, designed for the 3D fad of the the 1880s.
Matting & Framing Options
You can customize your print's presentation from a wide selection of frames and mats: modern or classic - all timeless. See the options here.
Our most popular style is Modern Black - Thin frame, coupled a White Mat with Black Core. The Modern White frames will match any style and are perfect for gifts. Looking for something with more bang? The gold and silver frames may be what you want. See examples here.
Mats are not offered with Gallery frames at the moment (but look great without them!).Frame Sizes
