A Beautifully Detailed, Original Plan of the New Exchange Building for the State Street Syndicate in Boston, Massachusetts. HAND-COLORED. McKim, Mead and White, Architects. From the American Architect and Building News, October 22, 1887.
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 17.5 by 13.25 inches. LARGE PICTURE. Has a mat border and foam core backing (not attached to the picture). The whole plan measures 19.25 by 15.75 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 middle and some light crinkling.
This is a highly unusual, scarce item. See our other auctions for more hand-colored original plans.
