Description:
- This reprographic copy shows designs for seven rectangular and two circular plaster panels for the showrooms in Electric House. Each of the rectangular panels highlights a different aspect of electricity consumption. For example, the upper left panel, titled "ELECTRICITY.IN.THE.CITY"; depicts the London skyline at night. - 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).
