Book Synopsis Staffordshire Figures 1780-1840 Volume 2 by : Myrna Schkolne
Download or read book Staffordshire Figures 1780-1840 Volume 2 written by Myrna Schkolne and published by Schiffer Publishing. This book was released on 2014 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Part of a multi-volume work that catalogs the enormous range of enamel-painted figures made predominantly in the Staffordshire Potteries between 1780 and 1840, Volume 2 presents figures portraying equestrians, fairground entertainers, personalities from literature and the stage, biblical characters, and a host of people of national and international significance. Also shown are sporting pastimes and figures reflecting a patriotic theme. It includes over 1000 brilliant color photos of figures. Literary figures range from Cleopatra and Doctor Syntax, while important persons as varied as Benjamin Franklin and Admiral Lord Nelson are captured in clay. The works also include the early pugilists, bull and bear baiting, and sportsmen and women of those days. Many of these figures have long been hidden from the public eye. Fashioned in an era before photography, they give us rare glimpses of a world that has vanished. In many cases, they are hauntingly beautiful. To hold one is to touch the past.

Book Synopsis The Material Culture of Tableware by : Jeanne Morgan Zarucchi
Download or read book The Material Culture of Tableware written by Jeanne Morgan Zarucchi and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2023-02-23 with total page 217 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Material Culture of Tableware is a fascinating and authoritative study of patterned tableware in the USA. This book undertakes a visual analysis of Johnson Brothers patterns of tableware pottery, with reference to comparable designs by other British companies, such as Spode and Adams. It examines how this practical genre reflected the aesthetic values, sense of identity and aspirations of the American consumers who purchased its products. The study also sheds light on British opinions and understandings of American culture. The book's chronological organization shows how tableware designs reflected the cultural developments of American society during the long 20th century. From status-seeking 1890s beaux-arts patterns and the nostalgic historical scenes of the 1930s, to whimsical 1960s patterns and the contemporary motifs of the 1970s, The Material Culture of Tableware tells a compelling story about who 20th-century middle-class Americans were and wanted to be.
Book Synopsis Holding the Past by : Myrna Schkolne
Download or read book Holding the Past written by Myrna Schkolne and published by William Herbert Hunt. This book was released on 2015 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The William Herbert and Nancy Hunt Collection provides a foundation for understanding both earthenware figures and the long-gone events and people who impacted our world. The 547 pottery figures from the Hunt Collection illustrated in this book were made in Britain prior to 1840. Fashioned in an era before photography, these figures afford engaging three-dimensional glimpses of the people and happenings of those times. They are also important artifacts that hold the story of the past within their clay bodies. Britain then was the premier global force, and this small island nation influenced events that shaped our modern world. Exploring the figures within their historical context deepens our understanding of the social and political trajectories that forged national identities, that molded current beliefs, and that continue to determine our path to the future.
