| Terracotta and faience (glazed
terracotta) became of considerable significance in the development
of the American Skyscraper after the Ch icago fire of 1871
and subsequently in the architecture of Victorian and Edwardian
city centres throughout Britain, not least for the ornamentation
which was frequently lavished upon it. This book details the
historic development and use of the material and is very well
illustrated. Although only the last chapter deals with conservation
issues, the book is essential reading for anyone involved
with the conservation of terracotta buildings. (JT) |
