This is an original 1915 tipped-in halftone print of the equestrian statue of Hernando Cortez, a sculpture by Charles Henry Niehaus, on the Avenue of Palms at the base of the Tower of Jewels at the 1915 Panama-Pacific International Exposition. (Please note that there is printing on the reverse of the mounting board.)
Period Paper is pleased to offer a collection of original hand-tipped halftone prints of the sculptures and mural decorations that were displayed at the Panama-Pacific International Exposition that held in San Francisco, California, in 1915.
