Product Information
Hardman of Birmingham is the first in-depth study of John Hardman and Co. over the whole period of its history. Michael Fisher, who is the firm's archivist and a recognised authority on the work of A.W.N. Pugin, has based this study upon his researches into the extensive Hardman records held in the Birmingham City Archives, the Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery, and in private collections. Illustrated with many original drawings and watercolours published here for the first time, along with colour photographs of some of the firm's most spectacular achievements, Hardman of Birmingham is both an informed and visually attractive exploration of Hardman's role in propagating and continuing the Pugin style, long after the architect's death in 1852, revealing the importance of Birmingham as a centre of the decorative arts during the highly influential period of the Gothic Revival.Product Identifiers
