Soon after opening Hull-House, however, Addams and Starr came to understand that the project’s success depended less on poetry readings than on the provision of very practical social services, including a day-care center for the children of working mothers and English literacy classes for those seeking U.S. citizenship” (ANB). The core residents were well-educated women bound together by their commitment to labour unions, the National Consumers League, and the suffrage movement; the facilities spanned a 13 building complex and included space for medical treatments, a night school, a public kitchen, an art gallery, a gym, meeting rooms, and a library. It is 4 estimated that, at its height, Hull-House was visited by some 2,000 people each week. Addams was the first woman president of the National Conference of Charities and Correction (later the National Conference of Social Work), vice president of the National-American Woman Suffrage Association, pro-suffrage columnist for the Ladies’ Home Journal, and a founding member of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. She was also among the first generation of college-educated women in the US and the first woman to receive an honorary degree from Yale. £1,200 [137440] A masterpiece of Western renaissance magic 4 4 4 AGRIPPA, Heinrich Cornelius.

  • Razzle Dazzle Camouflage – Was It Effective?
    Razzle Dazzle Camouflage – Was it effective? By Geoff Walker The British have always been very innovative in conducting warfare, especially when it involved “Camouflage” both ashore and afloat. “Dazzle Camouflage” was just one of those many innovations. It consisted of complex patterns and geometric shapes in contrasting colors, interrupting, and intersecting, each other. It was not limited to just “Black and White”, but often multiple colors were introduced into the patterns. “HMS Belfast” at her London moorings Unknown photographer British Artist and naval officer, Norman Wilkinson had this very insight and is accredited with pioneering the Dazzle Camouflage system - known as Razzle Dazzle in the United States. Wilkinson used bright, loud colors and contrasting diagonal stripes to make it incredibly difficult to gauge a ship’s size and direction. How to camouflage ships at sea was one of the big questions of World War I. From the early stages of the war, artists, naturalists, and inventors showered the offices of the British Royal Navy with largely impractical suggestions on making ships less visible, or difficult to define. Wilkinson’s innovation, what would be called “Dazzle”, was rather than using camouflage to hide the vessel, he used it to hide the vessel’s intention. Later he’d say that he’d realized, “Since it was impossible to paint a ship so that she could not be seen by a submarine, the extreme opposite was the answer – in other words, to paint her, not for low visibility, but in such a way as to break up her form and thus confuse a submarine officer as the course on which she was heading.” Wilkinson used broad stripes and polygons of contrasting colors—black and white, green, and mauve, orange, and blue—in geometric shapes and curves to make it difficult to determine the ship’s actual shape, size, and direction.

  • Interview with Lady Soames “FATHER ALWAYS CAME FIRST, SECOND and THIRD”
    ! An Interview with Lady Soames “FATHER ALWAYS CAME FIRST, SECOND AND THIRD” Finest Hour 116, Autumn 2002 As Churchill’s daughter, Mary Soames had the run of 10 Downing Street and helped arrange dinner with Stalin. She talks to Graham Turner about eighty rich and varied years. Graham Turner is a journalist whom we knew years ago when he covered the motor industry and wrote a penetrating, oft-quoted book, The Leyland Papers. He has since moved to weightier subjects for the Daily Telegraph, by whose kind permission this article is reprinted. “I don’t think I was necessarily intended,” said Mary Soames, Winston and Clementine Churchill’s youngest daughter, “but I suppose I was the child of consolation. My parents were shattered when their third daughter, Marigold—who was only two and a half years old—died in 1921. It’s clear from letters my father wrote to my mother that, when I arrived the following year, he was delighted that the nursery had started again.” ! Mary Soames The way in which Marigold died was to have a decisive influence on Lady Soames’s own life. “Mummy had left her in the charge of a French nursery governess, Mademoiselle Rose, while she went to stay with the Duke and Duchess of Westminster at their home in Cheshire. Marigold, who was known as “Duckadilly” in the family, developed a very sore throat but, even when she became really ill, the governess still waited a day or two before sending for my mother. By that time, there was nothing even a specialist could do for her.

    THE BRYNMAWR EXPERIMENT 1928-1940 QUAKER VALUES AND ARTS AND CRAFTS PRINCIPLES by PAMELA MANAS SEH A thesis submitted to the University of Plymouth in partial fulfilment for the degreeof DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Faculty of Art and Design University College, Falmouth October, 2009 2 This copy of the thesis has been supplied on condition that anyone who consults it is understood to recognise that its copyright rests with its author and that no quotation from the thesis and no information derived from it may be published without the author's prior consent. PAMELA MANASSEH THE BRYNMAWR EXPERIMENT, 1928-1940: QUAKER VALUES AND ARTS AND CRAFTS PRINCIPLES ABSTRACT This is a study of the social work of Quakers in the town of Brynmawr in South Wales during the depressions of the 1920s and 1930s. The work, which took place during the years 1928 to 1940, has become known as the Brynmawr Experiment. The initial provision of practical and financial relief for a town suffering severely from the effects of unemployment, was developed with the establishment of craft workshops to provide employment. Special reference is made to the furniture making workshop and the personnel involved with it. The thesis attempts to trace links between the moral and aesthetic values of Quakerism and the Arts and Crafts Movement and explores the extent to which the guiding principles of the social witness project and the furniture making enterprise resemble those of the Arts and Crafts Movement of the inter-war years, 1919-1939. All aspectsof the Quaker work at Brynmawr were prompted by concern for social justice and upholding the dignity of eachindividual.

Blairman & Sons Ltd, 2006 ISBN 0–9542530–4–3 MEMBER OF THE BRITISH ANTIQUE DEALERS’ ASSOCIATION Now and again in the history of art, works appear that over time come to be recognised as iconic. Within the field of furniture history, the Godwin sideboard (below) and the Mackintosh ‘Argyle’ chair (no. 17), both the creations of architect-designers, undoubtedly fall into this category. Artists and craftsmen also contributed some of the nineteenth- century’s finest achievements. Such highlights are reflected, respectively, in two objects that passed through our hands last year: the wall clock designed and painted by Lewis F. Day (see page 1) and the richly damascened table clock created by Placido Zuloaga (see final page). The opportunity to offer the Bullock cabinet (no. 1) is the culmination of a story that began nearly twenty years ago.
