This drawing set is extremely accurate. One house burned down near the end of the measurements for these drawings. This book contains most of the house drawings in the Library of Congress files for the entire city of Natchez, MS. The book pages contain razor sharp, high resolution black line drawings on natural cream paper. The original large format drawings were scanned with a digital scanner. The original large scale pencil drawings have faded over the years so the scans were weak. Our publishing company developed a unique computer program to restore the line weight and density to make the original drawings look almost as good as the day they were drawn. Next we erased the large number of dirt spots that accumulated over the past 75 years. If that was not enough, we had to resort to drafting missing or damaged lines. Many drawings are beautiful enough to frame as artwork. Books are shipped First Class USPS in a padded envelope. Larger quantities of this book are available to order.
