Printing Details
This is a wonderful original student architect's drawing for the design of an Author's Retreat. The sheet measures 76 × 56cm. It has a watercolour perspective painting of the retreat (a rather charming 1940s single storey cottage), and a floorplan which shows the largest room being the writing room, with garage, kitchen, and small bedroom and bathroom. Bordered in black, and with handwritten title.
This work is unsigned but by G Reed, from Mid-Essex Technical College. It is undated but about 1946.
Condition
The drawing is in good condition for age. There is some light edgewear and tanning, and one small wormhole to the right hand wide of the image. It would look superb framed.
