Description

"The story of Ontario's Barge Boards, also called Verge Boards and by the unversed, Gingerbread. A treasury of a fascinating aspect in our rich architectural heritage. Combines the best of scholarship, photography and delightful popular appeal to provide one of the most original books ever produced on a subject that is truly one of Canada's indigenous art forms." An album of photographs by John Willard illustrating the decorative details of some 19th century buildings in Ontario with text and line drawings by Anthony Adamson. Unpaginated [133p.] illus. some col.]
