It was the trend in the mid 1800s to have a cast iron Christian cross made for your loved ones’ burial site at the local foundry. There were 125 foundries in Denmark, who could manufacture this kind of cross in more or less ornamental form. This interesting and unique book gives a very thorough account, a historical perspective and every detail you could ever imagine about this artform. Beautifully illustrated in black and white photographs.
