The Logan Offices for R. Pearsall Smith, Philadelphia, PA, 1888, Original Plan. Cope & Stewardson.

A Beautifully Detailed, Original Plan of the Logan Offices for R. Pearsall Smith in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.  HAND-COLORED. Cope & Stewardson, Architects.  From the American Architect and Building News, January 14, 1888.

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 12.75 by 8.75 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.
