Mullgardt Church Lithograph
Fine Art Lithograph of the
Carmel Mission (Mission San Carlos Borromeo de Carmelo) created by the American architect and artist Louis Christian Mullgardt.
Artwork Details

Title: Carmel Mission or Carmel Mission-Carmel-by-the-Sea.
Artist: Louis Christian Mullgardt (1866–1942), a prominent architect known for his work on the 1915 Panama-Pacific International Exposition in San Francisco.
Year: 1914.
Medium: Lithograph (print).

Mission Information

Location: The mission is located in Carmel-by-the-Sea, California, near Monterey.
History: It was the headquarters of the Alta California missions and is the burial site of Father Junípero Serra. The mission fell into disrepair after secularization in the 1830s, with the chapel roof collapsing in 1852.
Restoration: The restoration of the mission began in earnest in the 1930s, meaning Mullgardt's 1914 drawing likely depicts the mission in a state of partial ruin before the extensive mid-20th-century restoration efforts.
Significance: It is a National Historic Landmark and the only one of the California missions to retain its original bell tower dome.
