Almshouse for Gendon's Charity, Exeter, England, 1883. Best & Commin. Original

A Beautifully Detailed, Original Plan of the New Almshouse for Gendon's Charity in Exeter, England.  HAND-COLORED.  Best & Commin, Architects.  From the American Architect and Building News, November 16, 1883.

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 12.25 by 8 inches.  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.

Plan is in VG+ condition with light browning along the edges and some light crinkling.
