| Summary: | This album consists of 28 pages containing 47 photographs of the University administration, faculty, buildings, and grounds as they appeared ca. 1896. The album was compiled by the CUA faculty as a farewell gift to Bishop John J. Keane, when he stepped down as the University's first Rector (President). There are a total of 47 images (ranging from 5.5 x 4" to 8.5 x 6.25) in the album. The album was professionally bound and is in very good condition. Each leaf in the album is made up of heavy bond paper that appears to have held up well over the years. There are end pages at both the front and back of the album. There are two bookplates in the front of the album dedicating the album to Bishop Keane and a hand written index to all photographs secured to the inside of the back cover. The first 5 pages contain portraits of the hierarchy of the school administrative officers, after which there is a photograph of a campus building on one page with the following page containing 3-5 portraits of CUA Faculty Members. The images all appear to have been taken sometime before September of 1896. They are all black and white with the exception of the image of the Very Reverend Msgr. McMahon (image 3); which is most likely the result of detailed hand painting. |
