Interior perspective showing a room in Chelsea Cloisters, England

1938

- This drawing shows the interior of a living room, looking towards a bay window. The title design, executed on the front of the mat below the window, includes a small sketch, apparently for the exterior of the project.
- 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).
