Original antique CDV photograph depicting the Allegheny Cemetery Receiving Vault in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Beautiful Gothic Revival funerary architecture featuring twin spires, pointed arch entrance, and wooded cemetery setting.
The image appears to show the original receiving vault constructed in 1857/1858 and designed by noted architect John Chislett. Excellent Civil War era cemetery and architectural photography subject with strong display appeal.
Mounted on original card stock with decorative red border surrounding the image. Sepia-toned albumen photograph. Measures approximately 4 x 2.5 inches overall.
The mount shows slight curling/warping around the edges from age, while the photograph itself remains dark with crisp detail and strong contrast. Displays general age-related wear consistent with authentic 19th century CDV photographs.
Please review all photos carefully as they serve as the best description of condition. The item shows signs of wear consistent with age and normal use typical of items from this time period. Please ask any questions before purchase.
