Framed Print: The University of Chicago Aerial View

This item is a framed print depicting an aerial or birds-eye view of "The University of Chicago." The print is housed within a gold-tone, possibly metallic or wood with a metallic finish, frame. The frame features a simple, slightly rounded profile with a clean, polished appearance, suggesting a contemporary or classic style that does not distract from the artwork. Within the frame, there is a visible mat board, likely a neutral color such as white or off-white, providing a border between the print and the frame itself, enhancing the presentation and safeguarding the print. The print itself presents a detailed landscape of the university campus, showcasing numerous buildings, green spaces, and pathways. The color palette employed in the print includes significant use of various greens for landscaping, muted browns and grays for buildings, and a pale blue for the sky, possibly with touches of other colors for architectural details. While exact manufacturing details like a maker's mark or signature are not clearly discernible from the provided image, the resolution of the image allows for the title "THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO" to be read at the bottom center of the print. The overall condition of the item appears good, with no obvious signs of significant damage such as tears, scratches, or fading visible from a distance. The glass or acrylic covering the print also seems clear and intact. The style of the print and the architecture depicted suggests it could be from the mid-20th century to a more contemporary period, as such university views are often reproduced.
