1925 Lithograph Marmion Virginia Interior Architecture Column Cornice ARC6

This is an original 1925 lithograph of a collection of architectural cornice profiles and moldings from a historical home in Marmion (near Fredericksburg, Virginia, circa 1750). Depicted are what appear to be capital column molds and cornice cuts in a neoclassical architecture style. Fredericksburg was founded in 1671, and later became the home of George Washington's mother, Mary.

Period Paper has obtained a rare collection of large-format architectural lithographs produced by the Metropolitan Museum of Art (The Met) in New York City with the help and interest of Mr. R. T. H. Halsey. This collection specifically contained measured drawings of woodwork that were exhibited in the American Wing of The Met, and the hope behind the publishing of these pieces was to help inspire and aid architects, designers, and artists in their architectural creations. The artist of this collection was Mr. H. W. Waldron Faulkner, who was born in Stamford, Connecticut, in 1860, and who passed away in the Washington District of Columbia in 1940. He was most active in his career in Washington, Connecticut, and was best known for his artistic renderings of interior and exterior architectural designs.
