A Beautifully Detailed, Original Plan of the Chamber of Commerce in Portland, Oregon. HAND-COLORED. J. Parkinson and J. B. Hamme, Architects. From the American Architect and Building News, September 20, 1890.
This picture is extremely hard to find, as the American Architect and Building News not only had a very small circulation during that time, but very few were actually preserved or colored as this has been. It measures 16.75 by 12.75 inches. LARGE PICTURE. Has a mat border and foam core backing (not attached to the picture). The whole plan measures approximately 19.25 by 16 inches (with mat border). Finely detailed and beautifully hand-colored. Shrink wrapped.
Plan is in VG condition with light browning along the edges, a crease down the center, and some light crinkling.
This is a
highly unusual, scarce item. See our other auctions for more original
pictures from this era. US shipping is $15 for USPS Priority. These
prints are packed with two sheets of cardboard and the packages get
large, so shipping is $37 for Airmail to Europe.
