About the Item

Magnificent 1903 Framed Photograph – Graduating Doctors, Medical Department, Western University of Pennsylvania This extraordinary and historically significant 1903 graduating class photograph captures the esteemed Medical Department of the Western University of Pennsylvania (now part of the University of Pittsburgh). A true late Victorian era treasure, the piece features dozens of meticulously arranged individual portraits of medical school graduates alongside their distinguished professors. Each portrait is presented in an elegant oval vignette, forming a symmetrical and beautifully balanced design. The students are visually separated from faculty by a central photograph of coiled rope, creating a unique and artistic composition that reflects the attention to detail of early 20th-century commemorative photography. The photograph is in very good antique condition, with crisp detail and minimal fading. It remains housed in its original wood frame, which shows expected wear consistent with age, including some surface scuffs, paint loss, and a loose backing — making this an excellent candidate for archival reframing if desired. A rare and meaningful artifact, this piece would make a thoughtful gift for a physician, historian, or collector of medical or university memorabilia. It would also be a distinguished addition to an office, study, or academic institution, especially one affiliated with the University of Pittsburgh.
