US Government Building, Louisiana Purchase Exposition, St. Louis, MO, 1903. James Knox Taylor

A Beautifully Detailed, Original Plan of the U.S. Government Building for the Louisiana Purchase Exposition in St. Louis, Missouri.  HAND-COLORED.  James Knox Taylor, Architect.  From the American Architect and Building News, January 31, 1903.

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 16 by 12 inches.  Has a mat border and foam core backing (not attached to the picture).  The whole plan measures approximately 20 by 15.25 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.
