Residence of Henry Hooper, M.D., Chicago, IL, 1891, Colored Photograph. Francis M. Whitehouse.

A Beautifully Detailed Gelatine Print of the Residence of Henry Hooper, M.D. in Chicago, Illinois.  HAND-COLORED.  Francis M. Whitehouse, Architect.  From the Inland Architect and News Record, 1891.

This picture is extremely hard to find, as the Inland Architect and News 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 12 by 8.75 inches.  Has a mat border and foam core backing (not attached to the picture).  The whole plan measures 16 by 12 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.
