Ohio State: The Oval to University Hall, Columbus Ohio Download Image

In 1905, a photographer took a number of images at Ohio State. These eventually wound up in the collection at the Library of Congress. Some of the building photos I've transformed into sepia pencil drawings in my Vintage Collection here.

There is a colorized version of this available in the Ohio Universities section here.

The clock on the west face (to the right) is about five minutes off compared with the clock on the south face. It's just before 11 a.m., assuming classes start at the top of the hour, these students needed to hustle a little bit to be on time.

This image is from the Library of Congress. As you may know, the Library has thousands of public domain photographs available for use. However, many require photo editing skills to “clean up” and produce printable images.

I’ve been doing just that for several years as a way of further developing my photo editing skills. The selection of images in this collection are ones that have caught my attention and the nominal charge is to help recoup some of the cost of the computer equipment along the way.

This is a downloadable image.

Once you’ve completed checkout, Etsy will provide you with a link so you can download the image file.

Once you have downloaded it, you are free to use it with any personal projects as many times as you wish. Please, however, do not resell it or use it in a commercial setting without prior permission. As a derivative work, it is copyright protected, so please respect my copyright.

Photos are JPG format and are sized 2400 by 3000 pixels (or 3000 x 2400 horizontal) which will produce an 8x10 inch print at 300 dpi. You’ll need some type of imaging software such as Photoshop, iPhoto, etc. to print.

I’m not really set-up to provide technical support for your software, so please be sure you understand how it works before buying the image.

If you would prefer, I can print the image and ship it to you, please contact me for pricing.
