Mordaunt Crook, J (introduction by): Designs For Fish Plates. London: 2012. 44pp., with 18 illustrations. Paperback. 20.5 x 16cms. A facsimile edition of Designs for Fish Plates to be Executed for the Lord Bute, first published in 1878. Dreamt up by the British architect and designer William Burges (1827-81), the silver plates were likely a present to his friend and patron John Patrick Crichton-Stuart, the 3rd Marquess of Bute, or his family, and can now be seen in the dining room at Mount Stuart. Each is a witty pescatorial pun: salmon crowned king of fish, a perch on a perch, and a whiting being whitewashed.
