Title:

Interior perspective showing a room in Chelsea Cloisters, England

Date:

1938

Description:

- This drawing shows the interior of a living room, including furniture. Comparison with DR1988:0391 identifies the room as one in Chelsea Cloisters.
- 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).
