About the Item

Colonial Ironwork in Old Philadelphia: The Craftsmanship of the Early Days of the Republic by Philip B. Wallace. Architectural Book Publishing Company, 1930. First Edition hardcover with dust jacket. "147 pages of detailed drawings and magnificent photographs show the craftsmanship of the early days of the Republic in the studies of gates, railings, lamps, locks, hinges, weathervanes, and all the beautiful things that were made by our forefathers." This illustrated tribute to Philadelphia's many well-preserved examples of colonial ironwork has 182 clear and fantastic, large B&W photographs and 41 measured drawings. These rendered ironworks appear in the railings and gates of churchyards, on the marble steps of town houses, in the balconies and lanterns of banks and buildings, and elsewhere."
