English Leadwork 



Its Art and History 



By LAWRENCE WEAVER, E.S.A. 



A LEAD VASE 



Price $7.50 



E^D is essentially the English material for garden ornaments. 

 It takes its plaee as faithfully and naturally as marble does 

 in Italy. While this volume deals as well with the more 



J 



purely architectural uses of lead for pipe-heads, fonts, ete., many of its 

 chapters are devoted wholly to garden statues, vases, cisterns, sundials 

 and the like. No one who is interested in the Renaissance of formal 

 gardening can aftord to overlook this important work. It goes far 

 to identify the statues and vases of the sculptors of the XVIIth and 

 XVIIIth Centuries, who did so much to beautify old English gardens. 

 The illustrations, of which three are reproduced here in reduced 

 facsimile, number four hundred and forty.
