It dates from the Directoire period, late 18th century early 19th century. This bed is in gray and gold lacquered wood. Typical of its time, the sides are inverted columnar, finely carved with palmettes and diamonds. The bed boards are gray lacquered and rechamped with gilding on the reliefs. The rear uprights are square columns. Its bed canopy is canted. This type of bed is also called "Italian bed". The pulpit bed to preach is distinguished by its sky held by the two rear uprights. The Polish bed will have its canopy maintained by four uprights, and the canopy bed will have its top supported by four upright uprights, covering the entire surface of the bed. This very decorative piece is in good condition, the assembly of the canopy was reinforced in the past by a metal frame, allowing great strength when it is suspended (see photo of the top of the canopy). This bed does not have any bedding, but we can on request, depending on what will decide its future purchaser, charge us with requests for quotes for its realization. There are a multitude of small hooks on the bed canopy allowing the positioning of fabrics falling on the sides. Dimensions: 2m70 high, 2m05 wide and 127cm deep. Internal dimensions for box spring and mattress: 1m20 x 1m86. https://www.anticswiss.com/en/fine-art-antiques/canopy-bed-said-22089 1 / 3 anticSwiss 24/09/2021 14:08:45 http://www.anticswiss.com Gallery 2 / 3 anticSwiss 24/09/2021 14:08:45 http://www.anticswiss.com 3 / 3 Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org) Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org).

The Polish Market for Holidays on Bornholm – by Sea and Air
The Polish Market for Holidays on Bornholm – By Sea and Air itel Carl Henrik Marcussen Acknowledgement: Includes contributions by Jagna Noren, Anna Pallikaras and Lene Feldthus Andersen 1 October 2007 Foreword The project was initiated by Bornholm Airport, Destination Bornholm, the Regional Municipality of Bornholm and Danvifo and funded by Bornholm’s Growth Forum, the Regional Municipality of Bornholm and Bornholm Airport. The objective was twofold: On the one hand, to address the question of how to improve accessibility to Bornholm for visitors from Poland; On the other hand, to address the question of how to encourage the visitors from Poland to stay longer once on Bornholm. In 2006 there were 72% one day visitors among the Polish arrivals from Poland via Nexø and 38% one day visitors from Poland via Rønne. Altogether there were 47.000 passengers (23.500 arrivals) from Poland via Nexø in 2006, and about 12.000 passengers (6.000 arrivals) via Rønne. Of these 59.000 passengers (29.500 arrivals) 35% or 10.300 stayed overnight. Close to 90% or about 9.200 were Poles of which 6.100 came via Nexø and 3.100 via Rønne. The Polish visitors who came via Nexø stayed on average 2.5 nights. Those who came via Rønne stayed at least 5 nights, resulting in just over 30.000 bed nights in total, corresponding to just about one night on average per Polish arrival to Bornholm. There were just below 20.000 registered polish bed nights in 2006, distributed as follows: 71% in official camping sites (71%), 28% in hotels/holiday centres and 1% in youth hostels (1%).

Cabinet Returns to Beckford's Tower
November 2008 22/10/2008 3:27 pm Page 1 THE FURNITURE HISTORY SOCIETY Newsletter No. 172 November 2008 CABINET RETURNS TO BECKFORD’S TOWER The ability to illustrate to today’s visitor what the interiors of William Beckford’s study retreat at Lansdown Tower in Bath would have been like when they were created in 1828 has long been an essential aim of the Beckford Tower Trust. It is an aim made difficult by the fact that much of the original interiors and fittings of the building were stripped and sold following Beckford’s death in 1844. What was not sold was then destroyed by fire in 1931, leaving the Belvidere at the very top of the Tower as the only historic interior remaining in the building. With the help of contemporary illustrations it is possible to show what the rooms at Lans- down Tower were like in the year of Beckford’s death. However, being able to display original pieces of furniture designed specifically for the building is essential in order to fully convey to the visitor what was so significant about Beckford as a collector and the spaces he created. It was with this in mind that the Beckford Tower Trust embarked on a successful campaign to purchase an oak wall-mounted cabinet believed to have been made for Beckford and return it to the Tower. The cabinet reflects the development of Beckford’s taste in the later period of his life while living in Bath, and was most probably designed by Henry Edmund Goodridge (1797- 1864), the architect of Lansdown Tower.

Marketing Products from the Art of Weaving Jamdani and Jute Diversified Products (JDP) of Bangladesh in Canada
Promoting specialty textile and fabrics: Marketing products from the art of weaving Jamdani and Jute diversified products (JDP) of Bangladesh in Canada Submitted by Nawshad Ali Khan CEO, JOYA and Subarno Rekha 620, Shahin Bagh, Lane-6 Tejgaon, Daka-1215 Dr. Rafat Alam Assistant Professor and Discipline Coordinator MacEwan University, Edmonton, Alberta [email protected] (corresponding author) Submitted to Trade Facilitation of Office Canada (TFO Canada) and International Development Research Center (IDRC) September, 2016 Abstract Increased free trade and market-based policies have opened the door for export-oriented growth for developing countries. ‘But the development of trade relationships with new export markets is complex and needs more than a general privatization and liberalization policy (Keegan, 1995)’, especially for the specialty textile products that are produced by small firms in the cottage industry which overwhelmingly employ rural, low-income and female workers. Many domestic and international market obstacles make it difficult for these unique products to be exported. This paper looks into the cases of two specialty textile products from Bangladesh - Jamdani and Jute diversified products (JDP) and investigates the export problems perceived by the sectors. The paper finds that JDP is export ready and well supported by government policies and institutions. The sector also has enough export experiences in European Union (EU) and North American markets. However, the sector faces fierce competition domestically and from Indian and Chinese firms. The sector also lacks in product design and has some weaknesses in quality. A vertical network is necessary to exchange information and cooperate in quality control, design and product development among the local trade association, government supporting institutions, local firms and designers, and foreign buyers and designers.

Those Feldazera Were Themselves Mostly Deported Rxwslana Or Their Descendants and the HKVD Had the Sane Authority Over Them As Over Us
lhk Those Feldazera were themselves mostly deported rxwslana or their descendants and the HKVD had the sane authority over them as over us. For bathing, the russlans used to install the so-called "Ban|a". It Is a small room where water is poured over heated stones and the hot steam is generated like in a turkish hath. Besides, there are wooden buckets which can be filled with hot water. The russlans have the habit that they go to the Bantta "en Famllle" , with wife and children and they bathe to* gather, formally they take along a second set of shirts and underwear and while bathing, the dirty laundry la washed on the spot in those wooden buckets. It is a bathroom and a laundry at the sane time. Going home, they put on their new laundry, carrying the washed set home for drying. In those Bantfas one has to be very careful because lice can be easily acquired. It was unavoidable to come in contact with the dirty laundry or clothes of the ox undressed people hanging all over, specially in this crow- ded small room cloudy with steam. There were plenty of Hog among our people but fortunately we had no typhoid, in this part of the country. In two places where I was moved around there were no Feldszers at all. The next one was some four miles away. Bare was a difficult problem. When someone didn't feel well, or if ke he had temperature, he could not be released for work unless he had a "Spravka".

J. 1795 und 1796 (Extracts from a Diary about Rome in the years 1795 and 1796) ii Translator 's Preface There follows a translation into English of Friederike Brun's two-volume Tagebuch fiber Rom (Roman Diary) of 1795-96, published in the German language in Switzerland in 1800-01 and here rendered into English from facsimile pages made available by the British Library in London. To facilitate reference to the German-language original, its page numbers are repeated in bold-face type at the proper points in the English translation. AS a general rule, the original text has been followed without significant deviation, although some overly lengthy paragraphs have been divided in the interests of readability. Proper names, though in most cases typographically highlighted in the original, are generally printed in regular type, and their spelling has been regularized to some extent and occasionally supplemented by the insertion of alternative names more familiar to readers of English. Footnotes are those of the original author unless otherwise indicated The Tables of Contents of the two translated volumes are placed at the beginning rather than the end of the respective volumes, and the "errata" list at the end of the German edition has been omitted since the necessary corrections, where relevant, have been made directly in the English text.

Natalie Woodward Department of English Reading Holocaust
1 Natalie Woodward Department of English Reading Holocaust Literature as a Creaturely Poetics PhD Thesis Royal Holloway, University of London 2 Natalie Woodward Reading Holocaust Literature as a Creaturely Poetics DECLARATION OF AUTHORSHIP I, Natalie Woodward, hereby declare that this thesis and the work presented in it is entirely my own. Where I have consulted the work of others, this is always clearly stated. Signed __________________________ Date __________________________ ABSTRACT This thesis offers creaturely readings of Holocaust literature, where a creature as defined by Anat Pick is ‘first and foremost a living body – material, temporal, and vulnerable’. I also use the concept of creatureliness to approach animal suffering: a question which many authors have compared to the Holocaust. In Chapter One, I analyse moments in Holocaust testimonies where survivors compare themselves, their situation or their perpetrators to animals. In Chapter Two, I analyse Beatrice and Virgil by Yann Martel. This novel gestures towards a creaturely poetics as Foer compares human victims of atrocity during the Holocaust with animal suffering and vice-versa. I read it through two models of creatureliness offered by Anat Pick and Eric Santner in order to gauge which model best suits my thesis. In Chapter Three, I move forward using Pick’s model of creatureliness to analyse two novels by J. M. Coetzee: in Disgrace, Coetzee traces a shared sense of vulnerability and affliction between humans and animals in Post-Apartheid South Africa, and in Elizabeth Costello the protagonist directly compares animal cruelty to the Holocaust. In my final chapter, I analyse Eternal Treblinka by Charles Patterson and ‘The Letter Writer’ by Isaac Bashevis Singer as two, contrasting ways by which authors compare our treatment of animals to the Holocaust, and see how well both forms fit with Michael Rothberg’s multidirectional model of memory.
