View Across Choir, St. John's Church, Leeds, England, 1881, Original Plan. R. Norman Shaw.

A Beautifully Detailed, Original Plan of the View across the Choir looking South at St. John's Church in Leeds, England.  HAND-COLORED.  R. Norman Shaw, Architect.  From the American Architect and Building News, April 29, 1881.

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 6.25 by 6.5 inches.  Has a mat border and foam core backing (not attached to the picture).  The whole plan measures 11.5 by 9.75 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.
