Colonial Ironwork in Old Philadelphia by Philip B. Wallace
This beautifully illustrated volume pays tribute to Philadelphia's colonial ironwork, presenting a lavish array of elegant, painstakingly executed examples of the craft.
Included are 182 crisp black-and-white photographs and 41 measured drawings of a stunning selection of ornamental ironwork - in railings and gates of churchyards, on the marble entry stairs of town houses, on the balconies and lanterns of banks and other buildings, right down to the lovingly rendered foot scrapers.
Handsomely reproduced from a rare edition, this volume offers not only a glimpse of the wonderful ironwork of the colonial era, but also a wealth of design inspiration for artists and craftworkers.
