Victorian House Architectural Ink Drawing

This item is an unframed architectural ink drawing depicting an ornate Victorian-style house. The drawing is executed in black ink on what appears to be light-colored, possibly off-white or cream, paper. The style is highly detailed, employing fine lines, cross-hatching, and stippling to render textures such as roofing shingles, brickwork, decorative siding, and foliage. The house features multiple turrets, bay windows, intricate decorative elements on facade panels, a wrap-around porch with a railing, and tall chimneys, all characteristic of Queen Anne Victorian architecture. Noteworthy features include a prominent, multi-story tower with a domed roof on the left, and a conical-roofed turret on the right. Below the drawing, in the bottom left corner, handwritten text in script reads 'To Jon Tall - Mark Elliott 1999'. In the bottom right corner, smaller, more precise handwritten text provides details about the depicted structure: 'The Pink Mansion Once W.M. McDonald Oct 19 & 22nd San Diego, California Mark Elliott 1999'. The signature and date 'Mark Elliott 1999' appear twice, suggesting the drawing was completed or gifted in that year. The drawing itself is in good visible condition, though there are reflections on the surface, possibly from glass or a shiny protective film, which slightly obscure parts of the upper left and right sides. There are no apparent tears, creases, or significant discoloration visible in the image. The quality of the drawing suggests a skilled hand, with attention to architectural detail and perspective, making it a fine example of pen-and-ink illustration often used for architectural renderings or commemorative art.
