The Divine Lorraine Hotel is one of Philadelphia's most iconic landmarks. It combines Victorian beauty with the ravages of destruction and time in a unique and curious way.
Full bleed photos of its current interior and exterior allow the reader to be immersed in the spaces. In contrast, Library of Congress archival photos from the 1930s, spliced into current photography, show the original beauty and severe blight of the Divine Lorraine. Ornate, chunky, and modern typefaces mimic this aesthetic.
