Customer Reviews

good history

good book well written and needed. i am a buggy driver/tour guide in new orleans where we have lots of wrought iron (cast iron also). gives depth to the subject.

Excellent Historic Design Reference Book

I am an artist blacksmith doing architectural work. I use this book frequently to help with authentic design. It is filled with many good photographs and drawings. The text is helpful for anyone desiring to know more about how and why the fine ironwork of the past came to be.
