Ecole Des Arts Et Metiers, Lille, France, 1897, Original Hand Colored

Description

A Beautifully Detailed, Original Plan of the Ecole Des Arts Et Metiers, Lille, France
.
HAND COLORED ORIGINAL
M J Batigny, Architect(s).  From the American Architect and Building
News, October 30, 1897.
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 approximately 12 by 8 inches and has a mat border and foam core backing (not attached to the picture).  The whole plan measures approximately 16 by 12 inches (with mat border).  Finely detailed and beautifully hand-colored.  Shrink wrapped.
Plan is in VG+ condition with light browning along the edges and some light crinkling.
