Description

A Beautifully Detailed, Original Plan of the "Sky-Scraper"
by John Moser, F.A.I.A., US Treasury Department Architect, Washington DC.
HAND-COLORED.
John Moser, Architect(s). From the American Architect and Building
News, December 8, 1894.
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 16 by 12 inches and has a mat border and foam core backing (not attached to the picture).  The whole plan measures approximately 20 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 and some light crinkling.
