SUMMARY- All interior photographs are black-and-white. I had no idea what a fire-mark was - turns out it was a plate put on the outside of a building to show that the owner of the building was insured for fire damage.
Shire Publications always includes a reading list and a visitor or museum listing where you can see real examples of the subject matter of the issue. I love that feature of these books and think it's worth the price of admission all by itself!
