Illustrated catalogue of statuary, fountains, vases, settees, etc., for parks, gardens and conservatories, manufactured by the J.L. Mott Iron Works .
This 1875 trade catalogue from the J.L. Mott Iron Works of New York, printed by E.D. Slater, presents cast-iron statuary, fountains, vases and garden furniture for parks, gardens and conservatories. The engraved plates show urns with lion-mask handles, a vase on a pedestal with putti and garland swags, and a tiered fountain with a cherub, giving a designer a clear record of Victorian cast-iron ornament: classical mouldings, swags, masks and acanthus-leaf bases.
