Title:

Perspective view showing the interior of a hall

Date:

1920s or 1930s

Description:

- This drawing shows a hall with two doorways along the back wall and a stairwell off to the left. Some of the elements, such as pillars, door frames, and tiles, are finished with coloured pencil.
- 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).
