Description
Rare original color deluxe presentation view of Charleston, published by Charles Magnus.
This deluxe presentation was highly unusual, especially for American views, with the intent being to mimic the popular series of colored views being published in Europe at the time. As noted by Reps: “[Magnus] printed the image on paper having wide black margins, colored the view, and enclosed it within a gold border. When framed it would have resembled an expensive glass-mounted print.” (Ref: Reps, Washington on View, pg 128).
This is the first example of the Charleston View we have seen on the market.
