It has been found, in practice, that to instruct visually as well as orally, is by far the most effective method of teaching—seeing a fact illustrated is of great assistance in memorizing it, and in consequence, the use of the Lantern in teaching has become almost universal among all classes—we believe that most of the best-known schools in the United Kingdom, India and the Over- seas Dominions now employ this means of instruction. In our earnest desire to meet this-great demand, we have taken steps to secure* many thousands of new Educational Slides, and are now publishing lists of them in the most comprehensive and exhaustive catalogue everdssUed, Our complete Catalogue of Lantern Slides is now so large that we publishing it in Sections, so that it may be kept yp-to-date rqore con- veniently, and intending customers need only take the Section in which they are interested. * The following Sections are now ready, or in course of preparation : Newton’s Lantern Slide ;Catalogu/E. - sectiov 1.

The first portion of this Section (9) of our Catalpgue is concerned with Art and Artists, and on the earlier pages, 905 to 936, will be found a list of Slides from the pictures of great Artists, on a scale never before attempted. Though far from exhaustive, this list is the most comprehensive hitherto published, and we are constantly adding to it. By the courtesy of Sir Whitworth Wallis an extremely fine Series of pictures from the Birmingham Art Gallery is now available, together with inter- esting Lecture Notes. The above, with other sets which will be found in the Catalogue, provides* ’ “ sufficient Slides to enable Talks about Famous Artists ” to be given as well as lectures on the different Schools of Painting ' " '• ’ x . ,f * * ’ * < ’’-r . - / A S • •. 'v . ‘ * . LITERATURE.t;' Under this heading new and important groups of Slidqs have been added? The works of Charles Dickens have been arranged to occupy several evenings, and most effective lectures can be given by taking the Life of some poet, or other prominent man of letters, such as are mentioned on pages 971 to 977. 'Stories for Children will be founds on pages 982,to TOO©,' many of them delightfully illustrated by such famous artists as to make these sets not only- “ acceptable to but also highly appreciated by children of a larger growth.” • * Temperance subjects are dealt with on pages 1005 to 1010. t - INDEX OF LANTERN SLIDES OF SECTION 9, ART, LITERATURE AND MISCELLANEOUS.

(2019), Antonini et al. (2019). Due to the peculiar bathymetries and topographies of rock pinnacles, there is no dedicated formula to properly quantify the loads induced by the breaking waves on offshore rock lighthouses. Wienke’s formula (Wienke and Oumeraci (2005) was used in this study to estimate the loads, even though it was not derived for breaking waves on offshore rock lighthouses, but rather for the breaking wave loading on offshore monopiles.

  • 'British Small Craft': the Cultural Geographies of Mid-Twentieth
    ‘British Small Craft’: the cultural geographies of mid-twentieth century technology and display James Lyon Fenner BA MA Thesis submitted to the University of Nottingham for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy August 2014 Abstract The British Small Craft display, installed in 1963 as part of the Science Museum’s new Sailing Ships Gallery, comprised of a sequence of twenty showcases containing models of British boats—including fishing boats such as luggers, coracles, and cobles— arranged primarily by geographical region. The brainchild of the Keeper William Thomas O’Dea, the nautical themed gallery was complete with an ocean liner deck and bridge mezzanine central display area. It contained marine engines and navigational equipment in addition to the numerous varieties of international historical ship and boat models. Many of the British Small Craft displays included accessory models and landscape settings, with human figures and painted backdrops. The majority of the models were acquired by the museum during the interwar period, with staff actively pursuing model makers and local experts on information, plans and the miniature recreation of numerous regional boat types. Under the curatorship supervision of Geoffrey Swinford Laird Clowes this culminated in the temporary ‘British Fishing Boats’ Exhibition in the summer of 1936. However the earliest models dated back even further with several originating from the Victorian South Kensington Museum collections, appearing in the International Fisheries Exhibition of 1883. 1 With the closure and removal of the Shipping Gallery in late 2012, the aim of this project is to produce a reflective historical and cultural geographical account of these British Small Craft displays held within the Science Museum.

  • The Pictured Child in Victorian Philanthropy 1869-1908 Heather
    The pictured child in Victorian philanthropy 1869-1908 HeatherParis April 2001 Submitted for the award of PhD Awarding body: University of Central Lancashire Total numberof volumes:2 Volume I of 2 Abstract This study sets out to investigate the nature of the Victorian child's standing in society using pictorial means. It takes the view that the picture, or visual image, has something important to tell us about attitudes towards childhood, and how children were regarded as a group, between 1869 and 1908. As a piece of scholarship, it is situated between the disciplines of art history and social history. Little work has been done on the child's visual representation, and its contribution to the historical record. The rich visual material that forms part of the archive of Victorian philanthropy in general, and temperance in particular, remains largely untapped. The study is a response to this scholarly neglect, with the uses made by charity of the pictured child forming its central site of inquiry. Philanthropic images of childhood will be set in their pictorial context by reference to their appearance in other parts of the public domain. The history of the relationship between adults and children has been called `age relations' by one historian. This study will apply general and specific practical approaches, drawn from critical visual techniques, to age relations, leading to an interpretation of how Victorian childhood was pictured for its audiences. Images will be approached as pictorial puzzles, and priority will be given to those solutions which formed part of the historical record. The main analytical tool to be usedis adoptedfrom critical theory's notion of the metapicture.

Sparhawk-Jones: Art Feature ART FEATURE Elizabeth Sparlzawk-Jones NOTES ON THE PAINTINGS AL THO UGH MOD E RN in spirit, Sparhawk-Jones is one of those artists who continues the tradition of previous centuries. Many of her paintings are frankly and recognizably pictures of people, and of the way people feel about themselves and their situation. Other examples of her work are pictures of ideas poeti­ cally viewed, such as romantic love, or injustice. AIl of her paint­ ings may be described as icons of personality, highly stylized and symbolic images. Icons encourage iconography, the study of the forms of representation. Although a painting by Sparhawk-Jones can be appreciated as an abstract, esthetic image apart from its literary- meaning, the subject represented is as important, if not more important, than the composition and color in determining the total impreSsion the painting gives. The purpose of the notes that, follow is to suggest (without attempting to be definitive or fanciful) , meanings inherent in a few of these paintings.

  • Trinity House to Decommission Royal Sovereign Lighthouse End of Serviceable Life
    Trinity House to decommission Royal Sovereign Lighthouse End of serviceable life Trinity House London* has begun preparatory work on a project to decommission Royal Sovereign Lighthouse** (English Channel, South coast of England, 50°43′24″N 0°26′08″E). It is the intention that the now-deteriorating lighthouse will be completely removed clear to the seabed. This has necessitated that Beachy Head Lighthouse be upgraded to ensure the safety of the mariner in those waters. Trinity House aims to commence work in 2020. Royal Sovereign Lighthouse was built in 1971 with a design life of 50 years. Having monitored the fabric of the lighthouse over the last decade and observing the expected signs of deterioration, Trinity House concluded that the ongoing safety of the mariner requires that the structure be fully decommissioned. Royal Sovereign Lighthouse has provided nearly 50 years of reliable service as an aid to navigation, one of over 600 that Trinity House operates for the benefit and safety of the mariner. In anticipation of its intention to remove Royal Sovereign Lighthouse, Trinity House upgraded Beachy Head Lighthouse; it will also increase the capability of the offshore CS2 buoy and will retain the nearby Royal Sovereign buoy. The upgrade to Beachy Head Lighthouse has increased the number of solar panels around the base of its lantern gallery and installed a longer-range LED light source; the CS2 lighted buoy will also benefit from an increase in range. The upgrade to Beachy Head Lighthouse will come as good news to mariners and the local community alike. Once Trinity House decommissions Royal Sovereign Lighthouse as proposed, Beachy Head Lighthouse’s future is secured as the principal aid to navigation in the area.

  • Shetland Altered2 (Page 1)
    ESSENCE OF SCOTLAND Shetland Front cover: St Ninian’s Isle This page: Fiddler Never have the one hundred or so islands that make up the Shetland archipelago been so accessible to the rest of Britain, and yet they are all a world away in character and culture. For so long part of the Norse Empire, the islands and islanders have retained much of their traditional heritage, seen in the unique craftwork, the music which fills local pubs and halls, and in the fire festival of Up Helly Aa which celebrates the Viking legacy. Awe-inspiring cliff scenery, abundant wildlife, world-class seafood and convivial natives complete the picture in Scotland’s very own ‘land of the midnight sun’.
