I just picked up these two Bristow Adams poster of Mercersburg and Princeton at a DFW antique store. Attached are photos of each and a magnification of the Princeton poster, from under his right elbow, showing the vintage of the lithography.

They are on heavy stock paper, have no gloss, and pass the black light and loupe magnification test. The particularly interesting aspect is that they have been trimmed to approximately 24 x 36 for framing at some point, down from I suspect a 25 x 40 original size. All of the other Bristow Adams college/prep school posters I have found are roughly 13 x 23, making these almost 3 times as large. Has anyone seen any Bristow Adams posters of this size before?

Any experts out there, any help is appreciated.
