EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph, titled 'Harvard,' created by American artist Edward Penfield in 1907, showcases the rich heritage and tradition of Harvard University. Published by Harper Publications in New York, this vibrant and colorful print depicts a solitary football player in olive green sportswear, standing in front of the iconic Harvard University library. The player's blonde hair contrasts beautifully with the brown, textured walls of the library, and the green color palette evokes a sense of the natural beauty and academic excellence synonymous with the institution. The concept of education and the pursuit of knowledge is further emphasized by the capital letters that spell out 'Harvard University' in bold, elegant lettering. The image also pays homage to the university's storied sports history, with the lone figure embodying the spirit of the Harvard Crimson football team. The lithograph's intricate detailing and Penfield's masterful use of lithotint techniques make it a stunning representation of American heritage art from the early 20th century. This print, now part of the Wallach Division Picture Collection at the New York Public Library, is a testament to the enduring legacy of both Harvard University and the artistic prowess of Edward Penfield. The image captures the essence of a bygone era, inviting viewers to reflect on the past while also celebrating the rich history and traditions that continue to thrive at Harvard and beyond.
