Very Vintage 1926 Sketches of MIT - Rare Items!

The hits just keep coming at 13909 Antiques

Very Vintage 1926 Sketches of MIT 

We don't like to use the "Rare" very often, but these prints of the sketches, certainly, qualify.

They were etched by Samuel Chamberlain, class of '18 and published in the 1926 'Technology Review'




Chamberlain, who served in WWI, went on be be a Faculty Member in the Department of Architecture (1934-1946), and had a prolific career, working in pencil sketches, watercolors, lithography, etching, drypoint, and photography, as well as an author

The sketches are of;
The President's Garden, Atkinson HallClass of '85 Flagpole Base in Du Pont CourtI. Rogers BuildingThe Power PlantWestern Pylons From The River WayThe Dome From Du Pont CourtVista From The Main LobbyFrom The Bursar's Office: The Eastern ArmI. The Dome From Du Pont CourtThe Main PorticoVII. The Dome From Building ThreeVIII. Rogers Common RoomV. Walker Memorial FacadeIII. Second Floor LobbyVI. Runkle Hall: DormitoriesIV. The President's Driveway
There are 16 sketches, most in good condition, a few that have some dirt, and some bottom edges are showing signs of wear.




This would be an outstanding get for a collector of Vintage College items, and/or of MIT specifically, or, would make a great gift to anyone who has a family member, or friend, who is an Alum of MIT.

You could frame all 16, or create groupings, collages with framing 3 or 4 together

Make your way here to 13909 Antiques at your earliest to secure these, before someone else does.
