Walter Charles Ives (d. 1961)
The New Bodleian Building, Oxford 1946
Signed
Pencil, wash and whitening
35 x 53 cm (15 x 21 in.)
Sir Giles Gilbert Scott was commissioned by the University to produce the New Bodleian Library in a constrained site on Broad Street. He was required to provide additional storage space for books in a building no higher than two stories that would not offend the architectural styles which ranged, confusingly, from mediaeval gothic to Victorian Tudor. Whilst the neo-Jacobean building was not at the time regarded as Scott’s greatest work, it was a technical masterpiece, with eleven underground stories of bookstacks, enough for the most determined of bibliophile. Construction began in 1937 and ended in 1940. The building reopened in 2015 as the Weston library, following a complete rebuilding behind Scott’s façade.
This view, shortly after the completion of the building, is believed to have been published as an illustration, probably by The Illustrated London News. Ives was a commercial perspectivist, based in Norwich, who had served in the RNVR during World War II.

Edmund J Thring (1906 - 1985)
Design for St Nicholas House, High Street, Bristol
Gouache
46 x 54 cm
Signed lower left and inscribed 'Alec F French & Partners, Architects, Bristol' (home to the Commercial Union Group and remodelled in 1959 by Alec French and partners).
An architectural drawing of St Nicholas House, a 1930s Art Deco building on the corner of St Nicholas Street and High Street in the heart of Bristol. It was originally built as a banking headquarters, and is recognisable for its curved facade. Today St Nicholas House is a co-working space owned by The Office Group; the interiors have been remodelled in an Art Deco-inspired style, in honour of the building's architectural origins.
Edmund J Thring was an architectural perspectivist who produced over 2,500 perspectives in his lifetime. He spent much of the Second WorId War in the Photographic Reconnaissance Interpretation Unit at RAF Nuneham Park, interpreting aerial photographs and making models.
