This book was released on 2018-03-05 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Franco-British Exhibition, 1908 The sentimental element is much stronger on our side than the French realise; they have never been able quite to understand it. We are supposed to have no sentiment, and to care for nothing but material things and particularly our own advantage. That is a great mistake. We are not excitable, but we are far more sentimental than many excitable peoples; and the simple truth is that we are really fond of France and the French. They, who are the most popular nation in the world, are nowhere more popular than here. It was a truly happy idea that inspired this co-operative enterprise. It appealed by its novelty - for the same thing has never been attempted before - and it chimed with national sentiment the co-operation gave a flavour to the whole affair, and in the carrying out it added an element which of itself was almost enough to ensure success. The French are past masters in the art of organising exhibitions they have a standing machinery for the purpose, and they threw themselves into the business with more than cordiality, with the mastery that comes from experience. We owe them not only a general influence, an atmosphere, but some of the best individual items on the list. If a hundred persons-wmen and women - were asked to name the most interesting, complete and attractive exhibit in the entire place, it is safe to say that ninety - nine would answer the French dress. Nothing to compare with it has ever been seen before. Dress fabrics and dress are the greatest of French industries, and they were displayed in bewildering profusion, and with that inimitable sense of effect of which they alone have the secret. The French restaurant represented another great national art, which is highly appreciated here; the jewellery and decorative crafts set forth the distinctive national feeling for elegance, and the French colonies added a touch of the unusual and the bizarre.

Book Synopsis The Japan-British Exhibition of 1910 by : A. Hotta-Lister
Download or read book The Japan-British Exhibition of 1910 written by A. Hotta-Lister and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-10-23 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The rapid development of Japan at the turn of the last century, including the defeat of Russia in 1904-5, intrigued the western Imperial powers, but also aroused reactions of contempt and suspicion. Britain was the most important of the powers upon which Japan earnestly wished to impress herself to mitigate the rising tide of anti-Japanese sentiment. An exhibition in London, therefore, was seen as a timely event by the Meiji Government to advance Japanese agendas in political, economic and educational terms. This is the first major study of this remarkable venture, fully reviewed and documented, and concerned principally with the Japanese side of the story.

Book Synopsis Reinventing Africa by : Annie E. Coombes
Download or read book Reinventing Africa written by Annie E. Coombes and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 1994-01-01 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Between 1890 and 1918, British colonial expansion in Africa led to the removal of many African artifacts that were subsequently brought to Britain and displayed. Annie Coombes argues that this activity had profound repercussions for the construction of a national identity within Britain itself--the effects of which are still with us today. Through a series of detailed case studies, Coombes analyzes the popular and scientific knowledge of Africa which shaped a diverse public's perception of that continent: the looting and display of the Benin "bronzes" from Nigeria; ethnographic museums; the mass spectacle of large-scale international and missionary exhibitions and colonial exhibitions such as the "Stanley and African" of 1890; together with the critical reaction to such events in British national newspapers, the radical and humanitarian press and the West African press. Coombes argues that although endlessly reiterated racial stereotypes were disseminated through popular images of all things "African," this was no simple reproduction of imperial ideology. There were a number of different and sometimes conflicting representations of Africa and of what it was to be African--representations that varied according to political, institutional, and disciplinary pressures. The professionalization of anthropology over this period played a crucial role in the popularization of contradictory ideas about African culture to a mass public. Pioneering in its research, this book offers valuable insights for art and design historians, historians of imperialism and anthropology, anthropologists, and museologists.
