The Art of John Seymour Lindsay: The Metal sketches
()
About this ebook
John Seymour Lindsay was a master of drawing metalwork. It is amazing how the flourish of his simple pencil could so faithfully portray the characteristics of beaten wrought metal. He had few if any equals in this particular medium and also knew his subject – ironwork. He had handled hundreds of pieces of wrought iron and other metal implements, understanding texture, patina and finish.

Foreword
John Seymour Lindsay was a man of many parts, all of them fascinating, many of them important, some of them heroic.
His life has only just emerged in detail as the Lindsay family archive has lain dormant since his death in 1966. Only in the last few years has it been possible to examine his heritage in detail and the documents and artwork that emerged has painted a picture of a
