Very nicely done ink line and wash drawing signed R.D. Fraser lower right; a highly detailed 'concept' architectural item, with landscaping, tables noted around the dining area, bar, dance floor and outer patio deck, swimming pool, dock area; restaurant and amenities take up the entire space of this 'island'; we speculate the architect may have had in mind one of the small Florida Keys or perhaps one of the Bahamas for a site; drawing approx. 20" x 3" size; done on Royal-Crest Illustrating Board manufactured by Hurlock Bros. Company, Inc., Philadelphia; no date but circa 1950; some edge, tips wear and soiling, some spotting over the image, a few old mounting holes and dents in cardstock; still, in good condition and interesting architectural history, an unusual subject well-treated.
