"Croquet Under Difficulties", Illustrated London New, 1871. Original Illustration.

A Beautifully Detailed, Original Illustration of "Croquet Under Difficulties".  HAND-COLORED.  Unknown Artist. From The Illustrated London News, August 5, 1871.

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 9.5 by 14.5 inches.  LARGE PICTURE.  Has a mat border and foam core backing (not attached to the picture).  The whole plan measures 13.5 x 18.5 inches (with mat border).  Finely detailed and beautifully hand-colored.  Shrink wrapped.

Plan is in VG+ condition.

This is a highly unusual, scarce item. See our other auctions for more hand-colored original plans.
