Cuttings folders on buildings by G.E. Street

Scope and Content

Paul Joyce compiled a collection of folders that act as a scrapbook of newspaper cuttings on buildings by G.E. Street. He obtained a run of Victorian journal publications including The Builder, The Building News, The Architect, Illustrated London News and The Ecclesiologist. He scoured them for references to buildings by G.E. Street. Etchings and drawings of buildings ended up in the image files [PRJ/1] and many textual articles were compiled in these folders, creating a useful resource documenting contemporary reaction to Street's designs.

The files consist of lined paper with mounted textual articles cut from Victorian journal publications, handwritten transcriptions of text copied from articles and manuscripts, b&w photographs and postcards, and are arranged alphabetically by location.

There are hand drawn schematic ground plans by Joyce for some buildings.
