Synopsis
The classic reference work on cast iron decoration. In the nineteenth century there was an amazing flowering of ironwork forms, mass produced and widely distributed, but of extreme variety and richness of design. Too often they have been overlooked, or referred to mistakenly as "wrought iron." E. Graeme Robertson's interest began decades ago with the realization that cast iron was being destroyed because its aesthetic value was not recognized. To remedy this situation he wrote a number of books on Australian ironwork and then, with his daughter Joan, traveled all over the world to compile this superb photographic inventory of the forms taken by cast iron ornamentation, its national variations, its relationship to architecture, and its contribution to the attractiveness of buildings. Supported by introductory texts, glossary, and bibliography, "Cast Iron Decoration" will be equally valuable to architects, art historians, and designers--and to anyone who cares for our cultural heritage. 521 illustrations., Cast iron flourished during the 19th century in an amazing variety of forms, often of extreme richness of design. This volume surveys cast iron decoration worldwide in over 500 illustrations, including photographs of surviving work supported by reproductions of pattern books and drawings.

    This first quality reference book arrived quickly in excellent condition. It’s well illustrated and great value. The seller notified me before shipping that there was a slight bend in the cover page. This was very thoughtful and much appreciated. I highly recommend this seller.
