Cast Iron Decoration:A World Survey: A World Survey

Description

Cast iron flourished during the 19th century in an amazing variety of forms, often of extreme richness of design. This superb volume, now available again after some years out of print, surveys cast iron decoration worldwide in over 500 illustrations, including specially taken photographs of surviving work supported by reproductions of pattern books and drawings. A valuable reference work for any professional, it will also delight those who appreciate the rich visual pleasures of this form of Victorian decoration.

Dr E. Graeme Robertson was a renowned authority on cast iron. Joan Robertson, his daughter, assisted him in research and photography.
