Description:
- This drawing shows a design for improvements to a townhouse garden, including garden walls, bath and fountain. Plant species are also identified. - 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).

Description:
- Two groups of four pastel drawings were originally produced in connection with the Village Polychrome project. The architect André Bruyère had retained one group, while the other was given to the patron and client, Francisco de Assis Chateaubriand Bandeira de Melo, who then donated it to the Sao Paolo Museum of Modern Art. Bruyère subsequently gave one of the four drawings in his group to a friend. The three remaining drawings from Bruyère's group are in the CCA Prints and Drawings collection (DR1996:0001 - DR1996:0003) ("Projet de Village Polychrome, Biot, France").
