Competitive Design for Public Library, Davenport, IA, 1901, Original Plan. Wm. L. Woollett.

A Beautifully Detailed, Original Plan of a Competitive Design for the Public Library in Davenport, Iowa. HAND-COLORED.  Wm. L. Woollett, Architect(s).  From the American Architect and Building News, February 16, 1901.

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