Framed Architectural Illustration of the Ellis County Courthouse

This is a matted and framed architectural illustration depicting the historic Ellis County Courthouse located in Waxahachie, Texas. The artwork is executed in an ink-heavy style, likely a lithograph or a high-quality print of a pen-and-ink drawing with watercolor or digital tinting. The piece features the iconic Richardsonian Romanesque architecture of the building, complete with its towering clock steeple, sandstone-and-granite textures, and arched entryways. In the foreground, there are vintage-style details including a figure in turn-of-the-century attire and a classic early 20th-century motorcar, suggesting a nostalgic or historical commemorative style. The print includes a lower-center title 'ELLIS COUNTY COURTHOUSE, Waxahachie, Texas' and an artist's signature in the lower right, which appears to be 'M. Miller' or similar. The framing is professional, featuring a double mat—a dark inner mat and a wider light-colored outer mat—enclosed in a dark burgundy or mahogany-toned wood frame. The condition appears to be excellent with no visible foxing, yellowing, or paper waviness. The crispness of the lines and the uniformity of the color suggest a contemporary production period, likely late 20th or early 21st century. The craftsmanship of the illustration shows high attention to perspective and architectural accuracy, capturing the grandeur of James Riely Gordon's original 1895 design.
