Elevation for an interior wall with wainscoting

printed in the 1920s or 1930s

- This drawing shows a design for wainscoting on a wall with a fireplace. The panels above the fireplace contain decorative designs, possibly for plasterwork, while two small panels to either side of the fireplace contain sketches suggesting that they would be decorated.
- 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).
