A Beautifully Detailed, Original Photogravure of the Bank of Italy in Ocean Beach, San Diego, California (originally built for the Southern Trust and Commerce Bank). EARLY PHOTOGRAPH . William Templeton Johnson, Architect(s). From the Architectural Record, May 1928. This picture is extremely hard to find. The Architectural Record had a very small circulation during this time and these original photogravure s only appeared in a very limited number of issues that were distributed to a few prominent architects. It measures 8.25 by 11.75 inches. Has a mat border and foam core backing (not attached to the picture). The whole picture measures approximately 12.25 by 15.75 inches (with border). Extraordinary detail in this early photographic print. Shrink wrapped. Plan is in VG+ condition with browning around the edges and light crinkling. This is a highly unusual, scarce item.
