I found this book several years ago in Chicago and am looking to sell it to someone who can appreciate this work of art. This is a very rare, First Edition book by Daniel Barnham, that detail the plan for the City of Chicago. Only 1650 of these books were published and this one is number 745. It is hand written in red. The book is in outstanding shape for being over 100 years old. There is some wear to the hardcover but nothing major. The binding is in great shape and the pages are in outstanding shape. The color illustrations still have the parchment paper covering them inside the book. There are hundreds of color illustration in this book. Here is some additional information on this book. The Plan of Chicago of 1909, more familiarly known as the Burnham Plan—after its principal author, architect and city planner Daniel H. Burnham—is one of the most noted documents in the history of city planning. This interpretive digital essay analyzes the Plan and its place in the evolution of Chicago's built environment. The essay is divided into three major sections, each of which consists of three parts. The first section, Chicago in 1909 , looks at the city in the years leading up to the creation and publication of the Plan. Its first part, Planning Before the Plan , deals with the city's early planning history. Antecedents and Inspirations
