Design and Construction of Various European Bridges, 1883, Original Plan

A Beautifully Detailed, Original Plan of the Designs and Construction Techniques of Various Bridges in Europe.  HAND-COLORED. Unknown, Architect.  From the American Architect and Building News, June 15, 1883.

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 15.75 by 12.25 inches.  Has a mat border and foam core backing (not attached to the picture).  The whole plan measures 19.5 by 15.5 inches (with mat border).  Finely detailed and beautifully hand-colored.  Shrink wrapped.

Plan is in VG+ condition with very light browning and some minor crinkling.

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