House, H A Smith, 128 W 8th St, Cincinnati, OH, 1885, S E Des Jardins, Original

A Beautifully Detailed, Original Plan of the House for Dr. H. A. Smith, 128 West 8th Street, Cincinnati, Ohio.  HAND-COLORED.   S. E. Des Jardins, Architect(s).  From the American Architect and Building News, June 6, 1885.

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 6 by 7 inches.  It has a mat border and foam core backing (not attached to the picture).  The whole plan measures approximately 10 by 11 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.
