Layout for the head titles "Music in stone..." and "The treatment of corners"

printed in the 1920s ?

- These reprographic copies show two headings, possibly chapters of a book or article. Both headings were written inside scrolled borders which also incorporate small drawings of buildings.
- 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).
