Property protection and ornamentation :
A 1920 trade catalogue from Wayne Iron Works of Wayne, Pennsylvania, selling iron fencing, gates and railings to estate owners, factories, schools and municipalities. Halftone photographs show installed fences against lawns, brick walls and embankments, with scrollwork gate pillars, finial-topped pickets and plain industrial palings — a source of repeating vertical patterns, ornamental ironwork silhouettes and grey documentary photography.
