1891 Scientific American Color Plate: Colonial Cottage Architecture
$144.00
Authentic antique lithograph, not a reproduction, in excellent vintage condition.
This is a very clean plate, one small chip at the bottom right corner, one 1/16″ closed tear on the top edge, otherwise complete and crisp, color uniform, no spotting/foxing; no writing, folds or significant creases.
Please see images for complete condition details (the item in the images is the one that will be shipped).
This plate has been salvaged from a 130 year old bound volume of several issues of the magazine Scientific American, Architects and Builders edition. At that time, instead of reprinting the pages of the magazines as a book, they actually took the magazines themselves and bound them. This book had been heavily damaged over the years, but the wonderful plates were mostly able to be saved.
These plates have become quite scarce over the decades, this could be your only chance to acquire one.
