Club Room, New Mercantile Building, St Louis, MO, 1892, Original Hand Colored -

A Beautifully Detailed, Original Plan of the Fireplace in the Club Room of the New Mercantile Building, St Louis, Missouri.  HAND-COLORED.   Isaac Taylor, Architect(s).  From the American Architect and Building News, November 12, 1892.

 

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 approximately 12 by 8 inches and has a mat border and foam core backing (not attached to the picture).  The whole plan measures approximately 16 by 12 inches (with mat border).  Finely detailed and beautifully hand-colored.  Shrink wrapped.
