Description:
- This plan shows a bedroom and drawing room suite, part of the Electric House showrooms. The placement of the furniture is indicated on the plan, as is the pale rose and lilac colour scheme of the drawing room and the pale orange colour scheme for the bedroom. Elevations of the drawing room and bedroom windows appear to the right of the plan. - 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).
