DR1988:0358
Description:
- Comparison with DR1988:0359, 'Plans and Elevations for Electric House ...', identifies these projections as sections and plans for Electric House. - This work is part of an incomplete group of possibly working reprographic copies for Electric House, Battersea Borough, designed by the borough architect, Henry Hyams. The group also includes some reprographic copies which may have been used for publication purposes. - 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 directly linked to an article published prior to 1926 in 'The Architect'; a reprographic copy (DR1988:0357) and a drawing (DR1988:0364) (Who's Who in Architecture, 161).

Description:
- This album was advertised in Hugh Pagan Limited, cat. no. 29, item 70, with the following description: "Students of British architecture of the period around 1900 will be amazed to discover this really very extensive record by a French architectural photographer of seaside villas, boarding houses and so on built in the closing years of the nineteenth century in and around Margate and Hastings. The absence of captions and explanatory text makes detective work necessary as regards exact locations and architects, but as there is no remotely comparable British publication of this date devoted to this kind of house, M.Lévy deserves the warmest appreciation for his zeal. NUC records a copy at Princeton only, and there was no copy of this title in the Weinreb firm's Small English House catalogue of 1977."
