  • Catalogue Summer 2012
    JONATHAN POTTER ANTIQUE MAPS CATALOGUE SUMMER 2012 INTRODUCTION 2012 was always going to be an exciting year in London and Britain with the long- anticipated Queen’s Jubilee celebrations and the holding of the Olympic Games. To add to this, Jonathan Potter Ltd has moved to new gallery premises in Marylebone, one of the most pleasant parts of central London. After nearly 35 years in Mayfair, the move north of Oxford Street seemed a huge step to take, but is only a few minutes’ walk from Bond Street. 52a George Street is set in an attractive area of good hotels and restaurants, fine Georgian residential properties and interesting retail outlets. Come and visit us. Our summer catalogue features a fascinating mixture of over 100 interesting, rare and decorative maps covering a period of almost five hundred years. From the fifteenth century incunable woodcut map of the ancient world from Schedels’ ‘Chronicarum...’ to decorative 1960s maps of the French wine regions, the range of maps available to collectors and enthusiasts whether for study or just decoration is apparent. Although the majority of maps fall within the ‘traditional’ definition of antique, we have included a number of twentieth and late ninteenth century publications – a significant period in history and cartography which we find fascinating and in which we are seeing a growing level of interest and appreciation. AN ILLUSTRATED SELECTION OF ANTIQUE MAPS, ATLASES, CHARTS AND PLANS AVAILABLE FROM We hope you find the catalogue interesting and please, if you don’t find what you are looking for, ask us - we have many, many more maps in stock, on our website and in the JONATHAN POTTER LIMITED gallery.

  • "AUSTRALIA and HER NAVIGATORS" [By the President, COMMANDER NORMAN S
    78 PRESIDENTIAL ADDRESS "AUSTRALIA AND HER NAVIGATORS" [By the President, COMMANDER NORMAN S. PIXLEY, C.M.G., M.B.E., V.R.D., Kt.O.N., F.R.Hist.S.Q.] (Read at a Meeting of the Society on 24 September 1970.) Joseph Conrad in his writings, refers to "The mysteriously born traditions of seacraft, command, and unity in an occu­ pation in which men's lives depend on each other." Still true today, how much more was this so with the mariners of long ago, who sailed in smaU ships for thousands of lonely leagues through unknown seas, for on them alone rested the safety of the ship and all on board. Dr. Johnson wrote "No man will be a saUor who has con­ trivance to get himself into jaU, for being in a ship is being in a jail with the chance of being drowned." There was more than an element of truth in this, for the seaman who refused to sail could be clapped in jail; whUst THE PRESIDENT, COMMANDER NORMAN S PIXLEY 79 those who did sail faced months in a confined space with acute discomfort, severe punishment at times, and provisions and water which deteriorated as the voyage proceeded. Scurvy kiUed more than storm and shipwreck until James Cook in his first voyage proved that it could be prevented. Clothing was rarely changed, the sailor coming wet to his hammock from his watch on deck in bad weather. Rats and cockroaches lived and thrived amongst the pro­ visions, adding to the problems of hygiene and health.

  • December-2016.Pdf
    the hollstein journal december 2016 It is my great pleasure to write these first few lines introducing our first e-newsletter. Via this medium, which we aim to publish at least twice a year, we will keep you informed about various Hollstein projects: more in depth information about some of our current projects, new research, publication schedules, as well as other activities connected to Dutch and Flemish and German prints before 1700. In this first issue you will be introduced by Ad Stijnman to Johannes Teyler and the à la poupée printing technique. These volumes to be published in our series The New Hollstein Dutch & Flemish Etchings, Engravings and Woodcuts, 1450-1700 will be the first ever to be in full colour. Some of our previous volumes on the oeuvres of Hendrick Goltzius and Frans Floris already included a few colour plates but Teyler’s substantial oeuvre covers every colour of the rainbow. Marjolein Leesberg will discuss Gerard and Cornelis de Jode. Her research on the De Jode dynasty resulted in such a wealth of new material that we decided to divide The New Hollstein Dutch & Flemish volumes into two separate publications. The first will cover Gerard and Cornelis de Jode and the second following comprises the subsequent family members Pieter de Jode I, Pieter de Jode II, and Arnold de Jode. With the end of the year quickly approaching, I, on behalf of the whole team, would like to take the opportunity to wish you a Merry Christmas and a prosperous 2017. Frits Garritsen Director johannes teyler and dutch colour printing 1685-1710 The group of prints compiled for the forthcoming The à la poupée process had been used since 1457,2 New Hollstein volumes concern what are known as usually inking copper plates but also woodblocks in ‘Teyler prints’.

  • Thylacinidae
    FAUNA of AUSTRALIA 20. THYLACINIDAE JOAN M. DIXON 1 Thylacine–Thylacinus cynocephalus [F. Knight/ANPWS] 20. THYLACINIDAE DEFINITION AND GENERAL DESCRIPTION The single member of the family Thylacinidae, Thylacinus cynocephalus, known as the Thylacine, Tasmanian Tiger or Wolf, is a large carnivorous marsupial (Fig. 20.1). Generally sandy yellow in colour, it has 15 to 20 distinct transverse dark stripes across the back from shoulders to tail. While the large head is reminiscent of the dog and wolf, the tail is long and characteristically stiff and the legs are relatively short. Body hair is dense, short and soft, up to 15 mm in length. Body proportions are similar to those of the Tasmanian Devil, Sarcophilus harrisii, the Eastern Quoll, Dasyurus viverrinus and the Tiger Quoll, Dasyurus maculatus. The Thylacine is digitigrade. There are five digital pads on the forefoot and four on the hind foot. Figure 20.1 Thylacine, side view of the whole animal. (© ABRS)[D. Kirshner] The face is fox-like in young animals, wolf- or dog-like in adults. Hairs on the cheeks, above the eyes and base of the ears are whitish-brown. Facial vibrissae are relatively shorter, finer and fewer than in Tasmanian Devils and Quolls. The short ears are about 80 mm long, erect, rounded and covered with short fur. Sexual dimorphism occurs, adult males being larger on average. Jaws are long and powerful and the teeth number 46. In the vertebral column there are only two sacrals instead of the usual three and from 23 to 25 caudal vertebrae rather than 20 to 21.

  • Guidelines for Library Media Programs in Louisiana Schools
    GUIDELINES FOR LIBRARY MEDIA PROGRAMS IN LOUISIANA SCHOOLS May 2020 CONTENTS Guidelines for Library Media Programs in Louisiana Schools ............................................................1 Recommended Staffing Guidelines .......................10 Louisiana Student Library Guidelines ...................11 Acknowledgments ....................................................... 30 Resources for Further Information ........................ 31 GUIDELINES FOR LIBRARY MEDIA PROGRAMS IN LOUISIANA SCHOOLS Research studies provide strong evidence that student achievement is significantly higher in schools where a strong library program exists.1 According to the American Association of School Librarians (AASL),2 the best measure of effectiveness of a school library program is the extent of its impact on student learning. Scholastic released the 2016 edition of School Libraries Work! A Compendium of Research Supporting the Effectiveness of School Libraries. In this document it is stated, “The major themes supported by the research highlighted in this report confirm that: a credentialed school librarian, collaboration and co-teaching, technology access, and collection size all elevate student learning.”3 Therefore, comprehensive school library programs have a positive impact on student learning when: 1. Staffed with certified school librarians. 2. The librarian co-teaches and collaborates with other teachers. 3. Library patrons are able to access up-to-date technology. 4. The level of library expenditures provides a quality collection of books and electronic information resources selected to support the school’s curricula. 5. The library collection is expansive, diverse, and easily accessed by library patrons. The purpose of this document is to set forth guidelines of excellence for school library programs in Louisiana by focusing on the role of the school librarian as an active partner in the teaching and learning process.

Encouraged by the support of William Sorell, the former Lieutenant- Governor, and Edward Curr, who had recently returned from the colony, they formed the Van Diemen’s Land Company and applied to Lord Bathurst for a grant of 500,000 acres. Bathurst agreed to a grant of 250,000 acres. The Van Diemen’s Land Company received a royal charter in 1825 giving it the right to cultivate land, build roads and bridges, lend money to colonists, execute public works, and build and buy houses, wharves and other buildings. Curr was appointed the chief agent of the Company in Van Diemen’s Land.
