About the Item

George Peabody Library Baltimore 62.5 x 50 inches ed. of 10 $6,000 74.9 x 60 inches ed. of 7 $9,000 87.3 x 70 inches ed. of 5 $11,000 signed and numbered on label, verso Paper is trimmed to the image: actual image size listed This is part of Reinhard Görner's celebrated series of rich, large scale photographs of world libraries. The George Peabody Library was designed by Baltimore architect Edmund G. Lind. The Stack Room is renowned for its striking architectural interior, which contains five tiers of ornamental cast-iron balconies, which rise dramatically to the skylight 61 feet above the floor. The ironwork was fabricated by the Bartlett-Robbins Company. The library dates from 1857. In that year, George Peabody, a Massachusetts-born philanthropist, dedicated the Peabody Institute to the citizens of Baltimore in appreciation of their “kindness and hospitality.” The library is now part of Johns Hopkins University. Reflecting the scholarly interests of the nineteenth century, the library contains more than 300,000 titles most of which date from the eighteenth to the early twentieth centuries. Notable strengths in the collection are archaeology, British art and architecture, British and American history, biography, English and American literature, Romance languages and literature, Greek and Latin classics, history of science, geography, and exploration and travel including a large map collection.
