In use since the 1600s, weathervanes were both utilitarian and functional, enlivening the landscape with humorous and bold designs. Among the largest companies specializing in the manufacture of weather vanes was A.B. & W.T. Westervelt of New York City. This is a reprint of the 1883 illustrated catalog featuring over 550 copper weather vanes and finials. The wide range of styles and motifs, from ocean steamer to Indian chief, are illustrated with line engravings and are accompanied by information on size, materials and original prices. This is an indispensable resource for the architect, collector, and smith, as well as a rich source of copyright-free art and graphic inspiration.
