Postgate & Firmin produced some of the best-loved British children's television of the 1960s and '70s, including Bagpuss, The Clangers and Ivor the Engine
Working from a cowshed on a farm in Kent, Oliver Postgate (1925-2008) and Peter Firmin (born 1928) produced some of the best-loved British children's animated television of the 1960s and 1970s. Their iconic productions include Bagpuss (originally aired in 1974), The Clangers (1969-74), Ivor The Engine (1975-77), Pogles' Wood (1966-68) and Noggin The Nog (1959-65). Postgate and Firmin worked together from 1959 through the 1980s, creating popular, beloved characters that appealed to children and their parents alike, like the whistling, mousy Clangers (knitted by Firmin's wife Joan in bright pink wool) in outer space, the saggy, baggy cloth cat Bagpuss and the mild-mannered Viking boy Prince Noggin. Firmin painted the backdrops and created the models, and Postgate wrote scripts, did the stop-motion filming and frequently recorded the kindly, avuncular narration. This book, which includes a preface by Postgate's son Daniel, presents the Smallfilms archive: the puppets and cutouts from these shows (including some of the characters who didn't quite make the cut), along with insights into how they were created. The emphatically handmade models and painstakingly drawn illustrations that came to life in the Smallfilms productions are captured here in attentive, detailed photographs. The archive is presented like a collection of artifacts in an exhibition detailing some much-admired twentieth-century art movement, like Fluxus or Dada, as acclaimed English stand-up comedian Stewart Lee notes in his introduction. The Art of Smallfilms, full of pipe cleaners, cotton balls, wire and ping-pong balls, celebrates the imagination and ingenuity of two artists who shaped a generation's childhood.

Автор: Postgate J. P. Название: The New Latin Primer ISBN: 1098827538 ISBN-13(EAN): 9781098827533 Издательство: Неизвестно Цена: 10290.00 T Наличие на складе: Невозможна поставка. Описание: Dr. Postgate deserves well of the miserable critics who are doomed to pass opinion on educational works dealing with Greek or Latin and on editions of works in the said tongues. The Latin primer before us, manifestly inspired by a more beneficent power than those to which most of the countless elementary grammars owe their origin, refreshes the wearied reviewer by an aroma of novelty and by lucid exposition and orderly arrangement, thus raising the hope that it may annihilate many of the loathly brood aforesaid and check their baneful production in the future.To affirm that a primer is excellent is, of course, easy, but the proof of such an affirmation is so difficult and tedious a task that we should prefer, were it feasible, to recommend teachers to test our verdict for themselves.... We would, in case our reasons as stated should not appear sufficiently cogent, remind our readers of the judge whose judgments were always sound, but his reasons seldom convincing.In view of Dr. Postgate's distinguished position as a student an professor of comparative philology the judicious suppression of that science, which at present affords indifferent nutriment for babes, is perhaps the first thing to jump into the sea e when we set ourselves to weigh the merits of the work. For example, the - i - declension is not, as such, distinguished from the consonantal declension, with the admirable practical result that the varieties of the third declension are clearly set forth in remarkably few words, so that beginners are saved much toil and bewilderment. Nor is the excellence of the compact and easy memorial verses to be left out of account; nor yet, again, the use of the word "base" instead of stem - a small matter, but not proportionately light. But on the whole the most important improvement is this, that an exceptionally simple diction and terminology have been achieved without sacrificing precision or lucidity. A signal instance of felicitous innovation in this department is furnished by the phrase "subjunctive of imagination," instead of "potential conjunctive." The general treatment of the subjunctive approximates to the views on that mood and the optative which have for years been inculcated in these columns. But neither this seductive trait nor our general approbation blinds us to a few slight blemishes. For instance, the definition of syllable, p. 2, is clearly faulty: "Syllables are the smallest portions of words which can be pronounced separately." The example is "ho-mo." But the second o can be pronounced separately; while in reg na it must be puzzling to a beginner at any rate to determine how the division into "smallest portions" is to be made. The objectionable phrase "complete (its) sense" is still applied to the equally objectionable "complement." If "complement" is associated with "complete," the presence of more than one complement in a clause seems perplexingly superfluous. This is a point to which we have already called attention. It is unnecessary, if not absolutely incorrect, to say that it is "by a metaphor" that the accusative is used of extent of time (p. 77).To return, however, to our main contention: the oratio obliqua has offered ample scope for the display of original method and luminous explanation, and the professor is to be congratulated on having adequately disposed of this knotty, thorny topic in less than five pages. It should be clearly understood that while the 'New Latin Primer' is decidedly new in substance as well as in age, the reforms which it embodies are cautious and moderate. The compiler evidently agrees with us in thinking that the time for a sweeping revolution in our methods of treating elementary grammar has not yet arrived. Indeed, some venerable notions are, as we have pointed out in one instance, treated with too much reverence.
