Review
"A very solid and enlightening piece of work ~ rich, insightful and multi-faceted: if Herman Melville had written about artificial stone instead of whaling, it might have turned out like this." -- Dr Simon Richards, University of Leicester
From the Author
This work is based on a dissertation submitted for an MA course at the University of Leicester entitled: `The Country House: Art History and Literature' for which the author was awarded a pass with distinction.
The principal archives consulted during research for the dissertation were those of the British Library, National Archives, National Art Library at the Victoria & Albert
Museum, Royal Horticultural Society Lindley Library, Royal Institute of British Architects, Stamford Museum Archives, and Haddonstone Archives. The latter presented a rich vein of material that has not previously been studied or chronicled.
Foremost among the secondary reference sources was undoubtedly Antique Garden Ornament by John Davis, who kindly allowed the author full access to his comprehensive archives. The only significant volume on any of the manufacturers in the field of artificial stone is Alison Kelly's seminal work, Mrs Coade's Stone. For amusement, nothing can surpass Richard Holt's A Short Treatise of Artificial Stone dating from 1730. It is a wonderful volume which allowed the author to read, at first hand, the impassioned words of the first known exponent of artificial stone in modern times - being at times passionate, erudite, naïve, even ridiculous. Whilst there are many general works on the subject of garden ornamentation, few are of truly academic value. Everything else proved to be a fascinating jigsaw of contemporary and secondary material.
