Synod House, Christ Church Cathedral, Dublin, Ireland, 1871. Whiteman & Bass.

A Beautifully Detailed, Original Plan of Elevations for the Synod House at Christ Church Cathedral in Dublin, Ireland.  HAND-COLORED.  Whiteman & Bass, Architects.  From the American Architect and Building News, May 26, 1871.

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 12.5 by 8.25 inches.  Has a mat border and foam core backing (not attached to the picture).  The whole plan measures 16 by 12 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.
