Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. "There are no days more full than those we go back to. All those Christmases collide into each other and my memory is decorated by a series of mirrors, flashing light into chambers of sound and colorthe briquettes sparking red-layered on the fire, the crinkling of the ridiculous paper hats at dinnertimeand the laughter moving to deep silence at three in the afternoon when we leaned up against one another like old tires, full of turkey and gravy and trifle and God knows how many slices of plum pudding." From 'Every Christmas Morning now, Every Christmas Morning' then by Colum McCann. Packed with contributions from some of Irelands best-loved writers, including Roddy Doyle, Alice Taylor, Colum McCann, Sinead Moriarty and John Boyne, among others, each of the author royalties from this collection will be donated to Aware, a charity that supports individuals and families affected by depression.

Each unique story captures the range of emotions that come bundled up with Christmas memories. Without a doubt, The Little Book of Christmas Memories is the perfect fireside companion for this season as well as an ideal Christmas present!

Jahrhunderts in England zusammengekommene Gruppe von Künstlern. Diese prägten den nach ihnen benannten Präraffaelismus, einen Stil, der stark beeinflusst war von den Malern des italienischen Trecento und Quattrocento und von den deutschen Nazarenern aber auch von Künstlern der italienischen Renaissance wie Botticelli und insbesondere Raffael, obwohl die Präraffaeliten jene bereits ablehnten. . (wiki) // . Diese erste Ausstellung der englischen Präraffaeliten auf dem Kontinent bringt uns endlich in die Lage, anhand einer Fülle von bekanntem und unbekanntem Material, in eigener Sache neue Definitionen zu suchen. Fast unbemerkt haben sich die Engländer schon über ein Jahrzehnt lang in beispielhaften Ausstellungen mit den wiederzuentdeckenden Präraffaeliten beschäftigt. In Einzelausstellungen trugen sie die Werke von Hunt, Millais, Brown und Rossetti zusammen. Der Kunstmarkt begann an diesem Revival zu partizipieren, als wir hierzulande noch kaum von der jetzt schon fast monomanen Besessenheit erfaßt waren, das 19. Jahrhundert um und um zu wenden. .

Gebonden, beige linnen hardcover met witte opdruk, 12.7x20.6 cm., 200x250mm, 128 pp., geillustreerd in z/w, nederlandstalige editie. ISBN 9789085864820. Deze bloemlezing met gedichten van Ovidius, Dante, Shelley, Keats en Tennyson verschijnt naar aanleiding van de tentoonstelling "J.W. Waterhouse (1849-1917). Betoverd door vrouwen" in het Groninger Museum. Het idee voor deze bundel ontstond vanuit de gedachte dat de literatuur in de negentiende-eeuwse kunst een belangrijke plaats inneemt als inspiratiebron voor kunstenaars van verschillende disciplines. De Britse schilder John William Waterhouse is hiervan een bijzonder en belangrijk voorbeeld. Hij baseerde de voorstellingen van zijn schilderijen veelvuldig op literatuur uit de Klassieke Oudheid en de romantische Engelse literatuuur, maar veroorloofde zich daarin ook veel vrijheid zonder de inhoud van de mythen en gedichten aan te tasten. Hierin stond hij niet alleen. Vele kunstenaars gingen hem voor wanneer we kijken naar de inspiratie die uitging van de geschriften van Ovidius en Dante Alighieri. Wat betreft de romantische Britse literatuur kon Waterhouse zich herkennen in schilders van de Engelse Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood die hem voorgingen en zich onder meer lieten leiden door de gedichten van Shelley, Keats en Tennyson. 480 g.

Les d couvertes r alis es sur les grands sites arch ologiques antiques, au premier rang desquels Pomp i, contribuent nourrir la cr ativit d'artistes qui ne tardent pas rencontrer un succ s consid rable, l'image d'Alma-Tadema qui fut l'artiste le plus c t de son poque. Nourris de litt rature, les peintres trouvent galement dans l'univers m di val, la l gende arthurienne ou le th tre de Shakespeare une vaste source d'inspiration et un d cor propice la repr sentation des passions amoureuses. Des figures majeures de cette p riode, comme Millais, Strudwick ou Waterhouse, r inventent un univers unique et inspir d di la s duction et l'amour.

Hopataone [Hobart Town] : He mea ta i te Perehi o te Watahaoha ratou ko nga teina [printed by R. S. Waterhouse and Brothers], 1840. Small octavo (180 x 110 mm), recent stitched marbled wrappers; pp. 24; text inM?ori; first leaf with small perforation to top margin, a lightly creased top corner and some mild staining, otherwise clean and sound throughout; housed in a morocco and cloth clamshell box with gilt lettering and decoration to spine. William Colenso (1811-1899) was an early missionary for the Church Missionary Society and pioneer printer in New Zealand. His M?ori languagetranslation of the New Testament, printed by himin 1837, was the first book printed in New Zealand and the first indigenous language translation of the Bible published in the southern hemisphere. The present pamphlet contains three anti-Catholic dialogues attacking the Church of Rome written by Colenso, translated by the author into M?ori and published in Hobart Town under his pseudonymTe Aroha Pono ("True Love"), which is the name by which he signs himself at the foot of the last page of text. The pamphlet was printed by the firm of R. S. Waterhouse & Brothers (i.e. Rowland Skipsey, William, and Jabez Bunting Waterhouse, the sons of Wesleyan missionary Rev. John Waterhouse, the first Superintendent of Wesleyan Methodist Missions in Australasia and Polynesia). During 1840 the Waterhouse brothers were advertising themselves asGeneral Printers and Bookbinders in Elizabeth Street, Hobart Town, at what was formerly Andrew Bent's printing office; the following year they would go into partnership with fellow Wesleyan William Pratt as Waterhouse & Pratt. A Sydney imprint of this pamphlet is also known. Scarce. Williams, 63; Ferguson, 3055b.

London, Taylor and Francis, 1844. 8vo. In a nice later half morocco binding with five raised bands and gilt lettering to spine. Blind stamped to upper outer corner of first leaf of table of contents. In "The Annals and Magazine of Natural History", volume 13. A very fine and clean copy. [Darwin's paper] pp. (1)-6 + 1 plate. [Entire volume:] viii, [1] - 528 + 14 plates (4 hand-coloured). First edition of Darwin's paper on marine arrow worms collected by him on his voyage on the Beagle. It is one of Darwin's early papers on invertebrates, which was originally intended for publication in The Zoology of the Voyage of HMS Beagle. Described by Darwin as "one of the most anomalous animals in the world," the origin of these strange carnivorous animals, which Darwin found highly interesting, is still unresolved. These early works are rarely seen on the market. The plate, drawn by Darwin, is based on his drawings made during the Beagle Voyage.Darwin arrived back in England from his voyage around the world on the Beagle in October 1836. He immediately set about writing up the results of the expedition-first, his general account, the Journal of the Beagle, and then, publishing the scientific observations and collections he had made while on the Beagle. The majority of these were published in the Zoology-including parts on mammals, fish, birds, and reptiles but Darwin ran out of funds beforehe could bring out the volume on invertebrates:"Darwin undertook to provide a comprehensive programme for the publication of the zoological results of the Beagle voyage - he obtained a Treasury grant to pay for the necessary engravings, and, having enlisted the leading taxonomical specialists in the several fields, he superintended the publication of the Zoology of the voyage of H.M.S. Beagle from February 1838 to October 1843 - The work comprises five parts: Fossil Mammalia, by Richard Owen" Mammalia, by G. R. Waterhouse Birds, by John Gould Fish, by Leonard Jenyns" and Reptiles, by Thomas Bell-a total of nineteen quarto issues. Darwin contributed a substantial portion of the text, drawing uponhis field notes for geological and geographical data and for the descriptions of the habits and habitats of the species - Darwin had originally planned to include descriptions of invertebrates in the Zoology but the exhaustion ofthe government grant forced him to abandon the idea. Instead he decided to publish his own observations and descriptions of the specimens that he considered to be important new discoveries, and did so in articles on Sagitta finished during the autumn of 1843, and Planariae, described in 1844" (Burkhardt 1986 p. xv.).PROVENANCE: From the collection William Pickett Harris, Jr. (1897 - 1972) (pencil note on p. iii). American investment banker and biologist. Following a career in banking, Harris was appointed Associate Curator of the Museum of Zoology at the University of Michigan in 1928. "[Harris] played a highly important role in developing mammalogy and systematic collections of mammals at the University of Michigan" (Hooper p. 923).Freeman 1664.

(1748-1817, Admiral) saying he has "reason to believe that a letter of thanks which I had the honor of addressing to you when Lord St Vincent quitted the Admiralty, was neglected to be forwarded, or has miscarried, and having been since favored by yours of the 30th May, inclosing one for William (which I conclude he has acknowledged from the Mediterranean) I cannot resist, though at so late a period, expressing our obligations for your kind attentions on all occasions, & particularly for your continued friendship to William, who has a grateful heart, and feels all your goodness to him as he should do. The principles and professional knowledge he acquired under your auspices have alone rendered him what he is, & we are all flattered by the most favorable reports of him as an Officer, and a Gentleman. He has written fully to Mr Pickford on the subject of some serious accounts with the Partners and Executors of the late Mr Waterhouse, on the balance of which he must be entitled to a considerable sum, and I fear he has too much reason to complain of the backwardness and delay that has occurred in bringing forward even a statement of his account. The manner in which former applications have been treated in England is distressing, and by my advice William intends to solicit your countenance for Mr Pickford to obtain an investigation of the accounts and if possible part of the balance. My Father, who thank God, keeps his spirits. directed me to present his kindest regards & compliments whenever I should write to you." with a long postscript saying that should he "at any time wish to place the Son of a Seaman in Greenwich (Hospital) School, I shall always have a nomination at your Service.
