75. Commemorative glass with the national colours and the national coat of arms, 1st half of the 19th century 76. Glass depicting the railway, c. 1860 77. Empire-style cast-iron candleholder, Munkács (Mukacevo)-Seleszto, 1840-50 by cast-iron work followed the changes in style in a spirited manner (Fig. 77). Through artistic castings - which on account of their cheapness reached broad sections of the population - the 19th-century culture of forms became more accessible. The best creative artist to use cast iron was the sculptor and caster András Schossel (1824-74). He was the first to make a statue of Lajos Kossuth (1848). At the 1872 Vienna exhibition his chess-set, whose pieces were figures from Hungarian history, won first prize.
