School Board Schools, Batley, West Yorkshire, England, 1880, Original Plan. Walter Hanstock.

A Beautifully Detailed, Original Plan of the School Board Schools in Batley, West Yorkshire, England.  HAND-COLORED.  Walter Hanstock, Architect.  From the American Architect and Building News, October 22, 1880.

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 by 6.75 inches.  Has a mat border and foam core backing (not attached to the picture).  The whole plan measures approximately 11 by 10 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.
