Decorative Sunday with Henry P. Kirby
These charming sketches are the work of New York architect Henry P. Kirby (1853 - 1915). Architectural Compositions contains fifty loose plates printed on Whatman paper and housed in a portfolio. It was published in Boston in 1892 by Bates, Kimball & Guild, publishers of one of the United State’s leading architectural journals of that time, The Architectural Review (Boston), not to be confused with the longer running Architectural Review still in publication out of London.
Kirby would have been working as a draftsman for George B. Post at the time of publication, for whom he later worked as lead designer before striking out on his own. Some of the subject matter also evokes Kirby’s time in France, where he studied at the École des Beaux-Arts after training with his father, also an architect. Per the subtitle, some of the sketches were “made in connection with actual projects,” while many were “the result of study during leisure moments.” I found Kirby’s eye for the human elements in his sketches particularly endearing, from the foreground figures to details on the buildings themselves, like open widows and overgrown foliage, or what looks like a duvet cover hanging out to dry (first image above).
For any music buffs reading, the final sketch includes some bars of "Très-jolie" from the opéra comique smash hit La Fille de Madame Angot.
Our copy of Architectural Compositions was gifted to UWM by Gustav A. Elgeti in 1966.

has the whump community gotten a hold of Lockwood and Co yet? if not y’all need to run to netflix rn!!!
Anthony Lockwood is the PERFECT whumpee, but plenty goes around!
not to mention there’s found family, hurt/comfort, angst, self sacrifice, tragic backstories, reckless boy with no self care, torture, electrocution, sword fights, ghosts can and will kill you (or put you into a coma), girl who can save the world and the boy who would die for her, gunshot wound, collapsing and needing to be supported, unconsciousness, powers are a burden… i could go on honestly
Ok, you're doing god's work, nonny - I see this message popping up on a bunch of whump blogs, and YOU ARE SO RIGHT. RAISE AWARENESS FOR THIS SHOW.
I actually loved the series so much I watched it back to back to back and then bought the whole book series juuuuuuuuuust in case Netflix wants to be a bag of dicks and cancel it (because they sure as hell didn't promote it) so I could find out what happens (and ngl, the fact that people who have read the series and watched the series have commented more than once 'if you think THIS is angsty wait until Hollow Boy' and Daaaaamn if that doesn't get me reading like I'm supposed to be having a test on the whole series tomorrow in a 9am class).
WHUMP COMMUNITY - I PROMISE YOU, IF YOU LIKE SUPERNATURAL AND WHUMP, LOCKWOOD & CO IS FOR YOU!
Panic attacks and getting shot and narrowly avoiding been blown up and torture and angst and found family - ALL THE GOLDEN TROPES.
