Michigan University Library, 1885, Van Brunt & Howe, Archt., Original Plan

A Beautifully Detailed, Original Plan of the Michigan University Library, Ann Arbor, Michigan.  HAND-COLORED.  Van Brunt & Howe, Architects.  From the American Architect and Building News, August 1, 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 17.25 by 13.25 inches.  Has a mat border and foam core backing (not attached to the picture).  The whole plan measures approximately 19.5 by 15 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.
