Описание: For many years the magnificent color prints published by the firm of Rudolf Ackermann during the 19th century have been in the possession of lucky collectors. However, with the passing of many years these frail works of art have become damaged, or have perished, so that many are not available to those who wish to find and appreciate the work and care which went into these productions.

Описание: The development of modern urban housing in China over the past 160 years is examined in this volume. From the beginnings of China's modernization after the Opium Wars to the latest trends adopted after the market reforms of the 1980s, this publication offers a broad overview of the developments in buildign construction and design. Urban housing in China is one of the most important components of China's modernization, industrialization and urbanization. The period from 1840 to 2000 saw great changes in Chinese policy and society and is discussed here in three stages: the modernization of China's semi-feudal, semi-colonial society, the rise of publicly owned housing under socialism in the People's Republic of China, and the rapid growth of a new market economy under Deng Xiaoping in the late 1970s. When examing changes in urban housing types, the authors take into account not only conventional architectural history, but also underlying political, economic, social, technological, and cultural forces.

Описание: George Chambers was arguably the most important marine painter of the 19th century. His importance lies in three main thematic groups into which his work may be said to fall and his equal mastery of both oils and watercolours. A romantic at heart, in the original sense of the word, he worked from nature, capturing and interpreting its moods, while acknowledging man's place as an individual in the overall scheme of things. In this group of works it is nature which predominates, the sea, sky, air, light and movement, interpreted with the aid of ships, boats and their people. These pictures usually depict a view from a stated recognizable location, the topography being relegated to a subordinate role. In the second group of pictures, George Chambers brings the topographical elements more to the fore so that they become, in effect, the main subject. In these original compsitions water, shipping and people, engage in maritime activities and remain conspicuous while many works are crowd scenes portraying state occasions such as "The Opening of London Bridge". Many of these paintings were especially commissioned or painted for specific exhibitions and they often proved to be more popular with the buying public than his purer landscapes. The third group of paintings comprises naval engagements commissioned by naval commanders and their families. Usually in oils, these are some of the artist's finest works for which he is mainly remembered. They are complicated, demanding set-pieces which fully tested his abilities and required all his skill to produce such memorable and outstanding works of art. The present biography seeks to remedy the neglect of Chambers in art appreciation circles and uses quotations and edited extracts from the earlier work by John Watkins, a close friend of the artist, who wrote and published his "Life and Career of George Chambers" in 1841. Above all, Alan Russett's new work expands, clarifies, fills gaps and provides additional background including the benefits of extensive picture research which serves to illustrate the narrative with a comprehensive selection of Chambers' works, including some from private collections. The position of George Chambers in 19th-century painting is, therefore, comprehensively appraised in relation to other leading marine painters and the result is a visually stimulating presentation which should add substantially to our knowledge of this important and highly talented artist.

Описание: This wonderful new resource, featuring more than 525 color photos of over 1,500 dolls, traces the history of commercially made miniature and dollhouse-size dolls families, household help, community professionals, nationally costumed, and storybook characters. Dolls made of wood, cloth, china, parian, all-bisque, painted-over bisque, paper, cardboard, plastic, rubber, composition, celluloid, and vinyl are pictured, many with dollhouse miniatures appropriate to their period. Special emphasis is given to the dolls and doll makers of the Great Depression, WWII, and the Baby Boomer Era, including many examples from Germany, the United Kingdom, Japan, Scandinavia, the United States, and elsewhere around the world. New research, some based on interviews with relatives and friends of mid-20th century artisans, is featured throughout. The place of these dolls in their historical context is explored to explain how their fashions, hairstyles, and subjects evolved. A richly detailed bibliography guides collectors to source material, both traditionally published and on-line. Current estimates of value accompany the photo captions to reflect current market pricing. The wide range of dolls, manufacturers, and dollmakers discussed and pictured make this an indispensable identification guide for all who cherish miniature dolls.

Описание: Tin-glazed earthenware has been made in Europe since the 15th century. In Britain, floor tiles and drug pots were made in Aldgate, London in the 16th century by immigrant potters from the Low Countries. In the early 17th century factories making dishes and other wares were set up in London close to the River Thames.

Their products were initially much influenced by Chinese porcelain, as well as by Italian maiolica. Manufacture spread from London to centres such as Bristol, Liverpool and Dublin. Known as gally ware in the 17th century, this type of pottery has come to be known as delftware from the Dutch town of Delft which was renowned for its manufacture.

Although impervious to liquids, delftware is quite fragile as it is fired at a relatively low temperature. However, it was made for many domestic uses: for eating and drinking, for pharmaceutical and hygienic purposes, and not infrequently for display. It was usually decorated by hand with painted inscriptions, coats-of-arms or splendid scenes - mainly Biblical, allegorical or pastoral - or else in imitation Chinese style.

Delftware production continued in centres all over the British Isles, including Ireland, until the early 19th century, although from the middle of the 18th century it was being displaced by both porcelain and durable cream-coloured earthenware, after almost 300 years of continuous production. The British Museum collection of delftware, which was established in the later part of the 19th century, is one of the finest in the world. It is especially notable for the number of pieces bearing dates and for those which document historical personages and events.

This beautifully illustrated book will feature 120-150 items from this extensive collection and include pieces which have never before been fully described or published in colour.
