Smith Academy, Wash. Univ., St. Louis, MO, 1879, Original Plan. Thos. Young

A Beautifully Detailed, Original Plan of Smith Academy, Washington University, St. Louis, Missouri.  HAND-COLORED.  Thomas Young, Architect(s).  From the American Architect and Building News, November 1, 1879.

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 8.25 by 11.75 inches.  Has a mat border and foam core backing (not attached to the picture).  The whole plan measures approximately 12 by 16 inches (with mat border).  Finely detailed and beautifully hand-colored.  Shrink wrapped.

Plan is in VG+ condition with light browning along the edges and some light crinkling.
