More than 12 million immigrants passed through Ellis Island between 1892 and 1954, bringing with them the cultures that make America such an extraordinary nation. The island's main building is now a beautifully restored national monument, and this limited-edition model by artist Timothy Richards celebrates its historic significance as well as its Beaux Arts beauty. Artisans in Richards' Bath, England, studio handcraft the model from gypsum-based plaster, acid-etched brass, white metal, and clear windows that allow light to pass through the facade. Commissioned around the world by venerable institutions like London's Victoria and Albert Museum, the National Cathedral in Washington, DC, and many private institutions, the studio's masterworks make wonderful gifts and honoraria that will be prized for generations. Made in an edition of 300 sets, each signed and numbered. Also available at Gump's San Francisco. 12 3/4"L x 5 1/2"W x 9"H. Made in the United Kingdom.
