Late eighteenth century, cast iron becomes more accessible. In the nineteenth century, abundant, it is an integral part of the industrial revolution. What would be the steam engine, the fetr path, the machine tools without it?
In contrast to bronze, this democratic material is dubbed by the great names of the Haussmannian city where it is present everywhere: distribution of water, gas, compressed air; voice of circulation with the train, the tram, the metro, the elevator or the points; art fonts that beautify the city.
