This is a vintage architectural rendering by Pennsylvania architect Charles F. Rabenold (1883-1968). Done in watercolor and ink, it depicts the proposed design for the Township Building and Police Station of Abington Township, PA which was ultimately built in 1955. We’ve archivally framed this piece in a matte black wood profile from Studio Moulding, “Bruxelles” mat by Crescent Brands, and TruVue 99% UV filtering “Conservation” glass.

This original illustration was created for our customers in celebration their 20th wedding anniversary. It features the couple’s birth woods, which are derived from Celtic tree astrology, shaping them into two “triquetra,” or Trinity knots. We’ve archivally presented this piece in a green patina wood profile from Fotiou, Crescent Brands matting with a hand painted black bevel, and TruVue 99% UV filtering “Conservation” glass.

Entitled “Mt. Fuji in Mist,” this original 1932 woodblock print was created by Takahashi Shotei (1871–1945). Born in Tokyo, he initially apprenticed under his uncle, Matsumoto Fuko, and in 1907, publisher Watanabe Shozaburo recruited him to help meet growing Western demand for ukiyo-e woodblock prints inspired by the style of the historical masters. We’ve archivally presented this piece in a weathered blue wood profile from Fotiou, fabric mat from Crescent Brands, and TruVue 99% UV filtering and anti-reflective “Museum” glass.

Taken from an original Italian 1846 printing of a Vesperal—a Christian liturgical book of evening prayers—this woodcut page features sheet music for “Fest. S. M. Magdalenae V. ad Vesp.” (“The Feast of Saint Mary Magdalene, at Vespers”). A Gregorian chant, it is sung in Latin and consists of a single unaccompanied melodic line. We’ve archivally presented this piece as a float mount in an ebonized walnut profile from Larson Juhl, silk mat from Crescent Brands, and TruVue 99% UV filtering and shatter resistant “Conservation” acrylic.
