Printing Details
This is a wonderful original student architect's drawing for the design of a youth hostel in the Lake District. The sheet measures 76 × 56cm. It has a watercolour perspective drawing, east, south, north and west elevations in coloured pencil, and a floor plan showing male and female quarters, common room, kitchen, pantry and boiler room. These are all on the ground floor with a small first floor level, presumably for a manager with bedroom, living room, etc. Bordered in black, and with handwritten title.
This work is signed by G Reed, from Mid-Essex Technical College, and is dated December 1946.
Condition
The drawing is in good condition for age. There is some light edgewear and tanning, some pin holes to the top corners and two small wormholes to the right hand wide of the image. It would look superb framed.
