North Elevation, Carnegie Residence, New York, NY, 1899, Original Plan. Babb, Cook & Willard.

A Beautifully Detailed, Original Plan of the North Elevation of the Carnegie Residence on Fifth Avenue, 90th and 91st Streets in New York, New York.  HAND-COLORED.  Babb, Cook & Willard, Architects.  From the Architectural Record, July, 1899.

This picture is extremely hard to find, as the Architectural Record 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 by 6 inches.  Has a mat border and foam core backing (not attached to the picture).  The whole plan measures 11 by 9 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.
