Lithograph of the University of Georgia, circa 1854

1 item(s)
Abstract Or Scope:

The collection consists of a print of Dr. Louis Moore's lithograph of the University of Georgia, which may have served as the basis for the better known and more stylized "Gleason's Pictorial of May 13, 1854." Unfortunately time has been harsh with the lithograph and it was trimmed to fit into a smaller frame, obliterating the name of the company producing the print and the name of the artist. Illustrations using this print appear in older issues of the Georgia Alumni Record, so it is hoped that at least one other and better preserved copy still exists somewhere. This copy, however, has additional noteworthy ties to the University. It comes from "Tockwotton", the home of Louis Moore.
