NINETY-THREE DRAWINGS
By WILLIAM TWOPENY (1797-1873)
With a preface by LAURENCE BIN YON
4to. $6.00 ne Postage 28c.
LEAD WORK: Eight Plates showing examples of Rainwater Pipe Heads, Gutters, Gargoyles and Open Work, such as Grilles, etc., from Winchester, Lincolnshire, Hampton Court, Dorset, Yorkshire, Norfolk.
CAST IRON WORK: Five Plates showing Firedogs of Kent, Herefordshire and Somersetshire.
WROUGHT IRON WORK: Eighty Plates showing Railing Standards, Window Grilles, Vanes, Reading Desk, Hourglass Brackets, Hinges, Hinge-Straps, Door-Straps, Latches, Locks. Padlocks. Hasps, Chests, Keys, Door Handles, Handle-Roses, Knockers, Key-Escutcheons, Handle Plates, Fixed, Loose and Swinging Bar Handles, etc., from Yorkshire, Bedfordshire. Oxfordshire, Northamptonshire, Kent, Norfolk, Lincolnshire, Somerset, Essex, Suffolk, Wiltshire, Warwick and Northumberland.
These valuable drawings are reproduced from the littleknown collection of Twopeny’s work in the Biitish Museum. They were made from buildings in various parts of England during the first half of the last century. They are done from the point of view of the enthusiastic antiquary with knowledge and discrimination. Their great value as a record is increased by the fact that many of the subjects have since disappeared. In quality Twopeny’s work is neither bald, as in the usual architects’ drawing, nor merely picturesque as in Nash and Prout. Ruskin’s best hardly excelled the workmanship of Twopeny.
