DR1988:0332
Description:
- This building is identified as the Mason's Arms by comparison with DR1988:0380, 'Elevations for the proposed rebuilding of the Mason's Arms, Donisthorpe', which includes the elevation shown in this view. - 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).
