A charming set of large hand-drawn and delicately coloured architectural delineations for the home and studio of Connecticut illustrator, poet, and architect, William Walworth Stilson, (1874-1962), a Connecticut artist born in New Milford and a resident of Bridgeport and Shelton. He illustrated several books, including Willard Nelson Clute, Our Ferns in Their Haunts (1901); William Cullen Bryant, Thanatopsis (1909); and Hamilton Wright Mabie, The Writers of Knickerbocker New York (1912). The house was completed in 1902. His papers are housed at the Yale Collection of American Literature, Beinecke Rare Book and Manuscript Library. The plates show delicately handcoloured details of a three storey house with porch, including a library and a music hall, with details of wall and ceiling ornamentation, delineations of the wooden framework, the basement and roof framework. A few brown spots else fine.
