Description:
- This reprographic copy shows an imitation mother-of-pearl lamp shade to be suspended by a bronze chain. There is a thumbnail sketch of the design in the lower right corner. - 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).

Description:
This drawing entitled "sketch proposals" is apparently a preliminary design proposal for a stage and upper gallery within a building located on Hanover Square, New York. Ground floor and first floor plans and two rough interior axonometric views of the stage and gallery are included. It cannot be determined from the drawing if the design is for the interior of an existing structure. The scope of Price's design responsibilities are also undetermined. The drawing is numbered '07' and is presumably one of at least six other drawings which are not part of the CCA's collections.
