Elevation for a cupboard door with inwood inlays

1920s or 1930s

- This drawing shows a design for a cupboard door decorated with wood inlays. The lower portion of the door includes a landscape view which is rendered in coloured pencil.
- 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).
