Man of Fire

[edit]

I have not been able to find a definitive name for this sculpture online. In this article it was called Fire Figure but I have not found it called that anywhere else online. Man of Fire is the most common name I have found, so I have modified it to that. It is also referred to as Spirit of Fire; and Jack Frost and Spiky Man have been quoted as local nicknames. I have put in a link to a picture. FrankSier (talk) 21:15, 9 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I have now come across a better source that the proper title is The Spirit of Fire in the book Public Sculpture of Staffordshire and the Black Country by George Thomas Noszlopy, Fiona Waterhouse via https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=RbfVkHMTC0cC&pg=PA140&lpg=PA140&dq=fire+is+at+the+root+of+all+things+both+visible+and+invisible&source=bl&ots=uWzuGWmLAO&sig=ATbvoB4rvkedtQ-NMe_RLd05wKw&hl=en&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjioOjTlvrdAhUvM-wKHcBJDOsQ6AEwAnoECAAQAQ#v=onepage&q=fire%20is%20at%20the%20root%20of%20all%20things%20both%20visible%20and%20invisible&f=false via a Google search for the inscription at the bottom of the sculpture Fire is at the root of all things both visible and invisible. So have modified article again. FrankSier (talk) 21:31, 9 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
