    Description

    A Beautifully Detailed, Original Plan of the Metropolitan Opera House, Broadway, 7th Avenue, 39th - 40th Streets, New York, NY.  Roof and Ceiling Construction
    .
    HAND COLORED
    J C Cady, Architect(s). From the American Architect and Building
    News, February 23, 1884.
    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 7 by 9 inches and has a mat border and foam core backing (not attached to the picture).  The whole plan measures approximately 11 by 13 inches (with mat border).  Finely detailed and beautifully hand-colored.  Shrink wrapped.
