Series B: Drawings, photographs and tearsheets

 Series

Series Abstract

This series consist of 369 architectural drawings, 224 photographs and 136 "tearsheets" from British architectural periodicals. The majority of drawings are presentation drawings executed on illustration board. The collection also contains a number of drawings representing the student work of Phillip Edward Webb executed from 1907 to 1912 at the Architectural Association (1905-1907) and the Royal Academy (1907-1912). The bulk of the drawings in the collection represent the post World War I work of Sir Aston Webb and Son.

Entries in the Drawings Series are indexed in alphabetical order by Client's name. If the client is not identifiable, the field will remain blank. Entries without client names are sorted by Project Name and listed before those that provide client's names. Furthermore, similar projects are sorted in chronological order by date. Project names are supplied by the cataloger, as title blocks on the drawings prove to be inconsistent and many drawings are not labeled. Project names may also have been adjusted to accommodate alphabetical sorting. Dates are offered if they can be derived from the drawings or gathered from other authoritative sources. The term "drawing" includes both original works (such as pencil on trace paper, or ink on tracing cloth) as well as copies (such as sepia prints, blue line prints, etc.).
