“…weathervanes date from the earliest times, and American weathervanes from the late 17th Century…reaching their highest form from the beginning of the 19th Century into the first quarter of the 20th Century.”
“Picasso himself considered the American weathervane a great work of art.”
The Art of the Weathervane by Steve Miller 1984.
Other than our two, I don’t know the history of any of the weathervanes pictured in this blog. I assume they are all old with some being custom & some factory made. Many factory made ones required a lot of custom work. Zoom in to see details. Often I was not taking a photo of the weathervane, it just happened to be on the building so it might not be in clear focus.
