    Description

    A Beautifully Detailed, Original Plan of the Credit Foncier Egyptien, Egyptian Property Credit Building, Cairo, Egypt
    .
    HAND-COLORED.
    Carlo Prampolini,
    Architect(s).  From the American Architect and Building
    News, July 11, 1903.
    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 16 inches and has a mat border and foam core backing (not attached to the picture).  The whole plan measures approximately 16 by 20 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.
