Church Memorial Brasses and Brass Rubbing: Album 206

This book explores the long history of memorial brasses from the middle ages, when they provided handsome substitutes for the stone effigies which had begun to occupy too much space in the churches. The often ignored Victorian revival is included and the recent development using modern materials, which have been for many people their introduction to the subject. It seeks to help extend their involvement in an artistic hobby into an understanding of the social history which memorial brasses illustrate.Chapman, Leigh is the author of 'Church Memorial Brasses and Brass Rubbing: Album 206' with ISBN 9780852639054 and ISBN 0852639058.
