| Gallery label | The Yu-Chee Chong Fine Art Gift.
The National Collection of Design and Architectural
Drawings in the Print Room contains objects from the
15th century to the 1990s, and subjects ranging from
coffee pots to cathedrals.
Yu Chee Chong Fine Art has substantially added to this
collection by the generous gift of 106 architectural and
design drawings, dating from the 1780s to the 1950s.
The designs for vehicles, complete with photographs of
their designer are the first pre-1950s automative designs
to enter the collections. The design for a bedroom is an
interesting example of popular pre-war taste in historical
styles. The desk diary presentation drawing adds a new
dimension to the Museum's collections of Art Deco
designs, which up to now has consisted chiefly of desings
for jewellery.
