Cast-Iron Furniture by Georg Himmelheber, ISBN 0856674621
Iron seemed to be suitable for everything - from railway lines to steam kettles, jewellery and furniture. Beds, chairs, tables, benches and small items of furniture made of cast-iron, the most modern and versatile material of its time, were available due to its durability and low price.
The art-historical development of cast-iron furniture has long been neglected and this book offers a systematic illustrated record of the many diverse forms featuring two major names: Karl Friedrich Schinkel of Germany and Christopher Dresser of the United Kingdom.
With over 460 types of iron furniture presented among 160 pages of illustrations, Georg Himmelheber provides furniture experts and dealers, designers and collectors with the first complete and international survey of this very popular furniture. This book is also an important contribution to the cultural history of the 19th century.
Pretty Happy by Peter Johnson, ISBN 187772775X
"The cast of characters ... are family members. What we remember of our childhoods are seemingly magical acts by our parents and siblings, acts that do not explain themselves and belong to the realm of myth. Johnson's prose poems return us to that world where our imagination was the hero setting out almost daily on a series of fabulous adventures under the dining room table, which, we might say, rests on the shaky legs of common sense".
