Notes:
Wide ranging cultural and social study of machine made cast iron ornament covering 1840s to 1914. Used extensively in buildings both in and outside, street furniture, prefabrication, etc. Deals with issues such as design and perception but with many references to manufacturers, notably Walter Macfarlane & Co Ltd of Glasgow, Coalbrookdale Co and George Smith & Co
