Cathedral Church of Notre Dame, Rouen, France, 1885. Original Plan

A Beautifully Detailed, Original Plan of the Cathedral Church of Notre Dame at Rouen, France.  HAND-COLORED.  Unknown, Architect(s).  From the American Architect and Building News, May 30, 1885.  The current cathedral was completed in 1880.

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 12.5 by 16.5 inches.  Has a mat border and foam core backing (not attached to the picture).  The whole plan measures 15.75 by 19.5 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.
