The New York Daily Graphic published many fine wood engravings illustrating articles on places in the United States. This one shows several buildings of the new Cornell University, the gorges and waterfalls in the area, and some of the city's commercial buildings. Among them is the factory of the Ithaca Calendar Clock Company. We have printed this facsimile with a wide, dark green margin so that it can be framed without a mat.
