ファイル:Grand Army Plaza 1894.jpg

概要

Grand Army Plaza before the statuary was installed, Brooklyn, New York City 1894 (image reference) (image source)

The original published source of this image is the Thirty fourth Annual Report of the Department of Parks of the City of Brooklyn for the Year 1894, published January 01, 1895 at the Litchfield Manor, Brooklyn, NY. The image is on an unpaginated inset leaf between pages 36 and 37 of that report and is entitled "Soldiers and Sailors Arch, 1894." While I did want to get the true, and not web derived, image source documented, I should note that it may be possible to upgrade this image. A place to check for a copy of this report would be The Brooklyn Collection, Brooklyn Public Library, where many Brooklyn Parks Department Annual Reports survive in their original form. The number that I've seen are in good shape, with photographs often printed on coated, acid-free calendar stock, still on brilliant white inset pages after one hundred plus years, and engraved at 120 dots/inch, a very good resolution for that era. If this report survives in the original, then a 300 dpi scan of the page may be worthwhile. The BPL Brooklyn Collection librarians will do such for a nominal donation of about forty US dollars and produce an uncompressed jpeg on a CD. Such would likely be as good a reproduction of this image as is possible now, barring the recovery of a photographic print or the original negative. The Google scan from a copy in the Harvard's Littaur Library, while exhibiting many compression artefacts, is probably on par with this image, which has burned out highlights. Garry R.
