The scene looks through an arcade of medieval columns toward the garden courtyard, which was modeled after a 12th-century monastic herb garden. Opened in 1938 as a branch of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the building is famously constructed from parts of several different European abbeys. This view captures the quiet, contemplative atmosphere of the museum, which is situated on a cliff overlooking the Hudson River in Fort Tryon Park.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEra: White Border Era even though no border (Circa 1938)\u003cbr\u003eCity: New York State or Region: New York\u003cbr\u003eCountry: USA\u003cbr\u003eTopic: The Cloisters Museum, Bonnefont Cloister, Medieval Art, Herb Garden, Metropolitan Museum of Art, Fort Tryon Park\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Uncirculated\u003cbr\u003ePostage: None\u003cbr\u003eAddress Side: Divided back\u003cbr\u003eOrientation: Horizontal (Landscape)\u003cbr\u003eArtist \/ Photographer: Unstated\u003cbr\u003ePublisher: The Metropolitan Museum of Art\u003cbr\u003ePrinter: Likely a high-quality American phototypie studio\u003cbr\u003ePrint Type: Sepia-toned Collotype (Phototypie)\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAdditional Information\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Bonnefont Cloister garden is renowned for its collection of medieval plant species, which were historically used for medicine, food, and dyes. This museum was a passion project of John D. Rockefeller Jr., who gifted the collection and the surrounding parkland to the city. The continuous-tone collotype printing on this card perfectly captures the fine textures of the ancient stone capitals and the geometric layout of the garden beds. This specific printing was sold as an official souvenir by the Metropolitan Museum of Art during the museum's early years of operation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLove it ♡\u003cbr\u003eGet it ☆\u003cbr\u003eGet Lucky 💋 Vintage\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Get Lucky Vintage","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46722594996413,"sku":"2826","price":12.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0625\/4818\/1181\/files\/2826.jpg?v=1777499639","url":"https:\/\/www.getluckyvintage.com\/products\/2826","provider":"Get Lucky Vintage ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
