Public Sculpture of Glasgow

This volume contains important sculptures by most of the greatest British sculptors and some continental sculptors - John Flaxman, Auguste-Nicolas Cain, John Gibson, Francis Chantrey, Carlo Marochetti, Hamo Thornycroft, George Frampton, J. H. Foley and many others." "The study of architectural sculpture, falling between the history of art and the history of architecture, has been until very recently generally neglected - even by that great pioneer, Rupert Gunnis. Ray Mackenzie has in this volume for the first time demonstrated the importance of Glasgow's architectural sculpture and explained its function with a wealth of detail."--BOOK JACKET.
