Review

The Golden Age of Ironwork
Text by Henry Jonas Magaziner. Photographs by Robert D. Golding.

Ironwork - the word will conjure up different meanings to different people. The stereotypical images of ironwork will range from minor works to architectural landmarks of historical significance that have met all criteria for greatness. The time period presented in this edition, from roughly 1840-1930, is called the Golden Age. It was a boom time of building construction including mass quantities of ornamental and structural ironwork. Many iron manufacturing companies met the need for castings while gifted blacksmiths hand forged wonderful pieces. An outstanding accumulation of these works appears in The Golden Age of Ironwork.

A main theme of Magaziner's writing is to further a better appreciation of the inherent beauty of fine ironwork. His text begins with an excellent quote of Samuel Yellin and several wonderful pieces by Yellin are magnificent examples of wrought iron. As a casting counterpart, James Monroe's tomb is called "one of the finest pieces of ironwork ever cast in the United States". The textures of the iron, surrounded by stone and wood in the large sharp photos by Robert Golding, practically leap off the pages. Included with photos are detailed descriptions and street addresses to the examples, providing a tour guide type function.

The first chapters outline the production processes of wrought and cast iron. Applications are then detailed with fences, railings, gates, doors and window grills. One section on street, garden and
park ironwork, displays some home items including gazebos, chairs and a beautiful deer. Iron structural items and facades may appear to be stone or plaster, but iron's advantages of strength and inexpensive large quantities are well described.

The Golden Age of Ironwork celebrates the wealth of architectural ironwork in Philadelphia. We are the beneficiaries of the fine conservation effort to preserve these treasures.
