Kragsyde, G Nixon Black, Manchester by the Sea, MA, 1885, Peabody & Stearns

A Beautifully Detailed, Original Plan of Kragsyde, Summer Residence of G Nixon Black, Esq., Manchester by the Sea, Massachusetts.  HAND-COLORED.   Peabody & Stearns, Architect(s).  From the American Architect and Building News, March 7, 1885.

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.  It 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 very light browning and some minor crinkling.
