Thanks Rob, it seems to have survived well as a Dyeline print of 80+ years..

Sandy,

I'm pretty certain dyeline printing of the type this drawing appears to be reproduced as was not around 80 + years ago and from my experience of dyeline print reproduction in the 1980's the image would have faded and the paper, which was never of a high quality coupled with the aggressive chemicals used to develop it, would be showing signs of considerable fatigue by now, 80 years on. Also the size - 26" x 20" seems rather small to me to be using as a working drawing for coach builders, I might be wrong.
