Title:

Lehigh Airports Competition Entry: Bird's-eye perspective

Date:

1929

Description:

- This drawing is blackened with graphite on the verso so that the design could be transferred to another surface, in this case the submitted competition panel, DR1987:0359. There are drops of black watercolour and a series of black ink lines in the upper right corner. These media were used for the submitted panel and their presence here also suggests that this drawing was used in preparation of the submitted panel. There are a series of design sketches, along the left side and at the centre of the drawing, which appear to deal with the relationship of the airfield to hangars.
