The sheet measures 76 × 56cm, and shows the front elevation (with surrounding buildings), the south-west elevation and the south-east elevation, as well as a AA and BB sections, and a floor plan, including the main lending library, as well as children's room, reading room. reference library, librarian's room etc. Bordered in black, and with handwritten title. This work is signed by G Reed, from Mid-Essex Technical College, and is dated January 1947. The building style is very much in the fashion of public buildings of the time, low level, red brick, flat concrete roof and with crittall windows. Condition: The drawing is in good condition for age. There is some very light creasing 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. Seller Inventory # 015331
