[Rarebooks] FS: English Antique Metalwork

[Joslin Hall Rare Books]

"English Metal Work. Ninety-three Drawings by William Twopeny (1797-1873)"

By William Twopeny & Laurence Binyon. Published in New York by John Lane
Company in 1906.

William Twopeny [1797-1873], lawyer and antiquarian, spent much of his
life roaming the hills and dales of England, producing remarkable sketches
of architecture and architectural details which were rapidly disappearing.
These were largely unpublished, but rather were gathered in many
portfolios and given to the British Museum after his death. Here are 93
drawings selected by Laurence Binyon showing metalwork of various types-
rainwater pipe-heads, fire dogs, latches and hinges, door handles, keys
and locks, vanes and railing details. Binyon also contributes a short
introduction on Twopeny and his work.

Hardcover. 9”x11.5”, 15 pages of text plus 93 black & white illustrations.
Light wear, but overall in very nice, clean condition.  $200~
