While walking through Schenley Park this morning, I found a portfolio of about twenty lithographs scattered along the sidewalk, at the intersection of Panther Hollow Rd and Greenfield Ave (where the Blvd of the Allies leaves the park and enters Squirrel Hill). I also found a fancy slipcase that contained the pages. Although the pages are damp and mildewed, and some of the text pages are severely damaged, all the lithographs are intact and servicable -- perhaps because they are printed on heavy paper of fine quality. The text is in Spanish. The lithographs I recovered portray plazas, cathedrals, and other architectural monuments. The title page of the collection reads MONUMENTOS DE MEJICO Tomados del natural y litografiados por Pedro Gualdi en al ano de 1841 The owner may reclaim the prints by describing the slipcase. After two weeks, I will see if a library or museum might be interested; but if as I expect there will be no takers, I'll post another notice to give them away. I don't want them. Email drb@cs.cmu.edu, or phone 243-5614.
