Title:

Elevation showing a storefront for Eyre and Sons, Ltd., England

Date:

printed in the 1920s or 1930s

Description:

- This reprographic copy shows a storefront for a three storey building, with plate glass windows at the street level.
- The style of many of these drawings and reprographic copies by Henry Hyams (DR1988:0332 - DR1988:0414) suggests that they were possibly for periodical illustrations. Hyams contributed articles to the periodicals 'The Builder' and 'The Architect'. Two objects in the CCA collections can be linked to the article "Music in Stone" published prior to 1926 in 'The Architect'; a reprographic copy (DR1988:0357) and a drawing (DR1988:0364) (Who's Who in Architecture, 161).
