Memorial Library, Lexington, KY, 1889, Original Plan. Willis Polk.

 A Beautifully Detailed, Original Plan of the Memorial Library at Lexington, Kentucky.  HAND-COLORED.  Willis Polk, Architect.  From the American Architect and Building News, March 9, 1889.

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 7 by 5.5 inches.  Has a mat border and foam core backing (not attached to the picture).  The whole plan measures 11 by 9.5 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.
