Kidder Hall served as the Library for OAC and OSC. This particular shot was made on the evening of November 19, 1936. The fog that evening made the building seem to be a beacon of knowledge in an infinite darkness.
This image is an autochrome, produced sometime around 1930. Autochromes were an early means of producing color prints. They were made by mixing grain dyes onto a glass plate and coating. The plate is then coated with black powder, then with a varnish, then with a sensitized emulsion. When exposed in the camera, processing produces a color positive transparency.
