The small, portable and very decorative piece of furniture was originally designed to store sheet music. A canterbury stands on four legs with castors, so it is easily moved. It has an open topped rack with slatted compartments for sheet music; or newspapers, books, magazines or any loose paper that might be sitting around. If often has a drawer underneath so it suddenly becomes a convenient place for storage. Initially mahogany and rosewood were the common woods used to make them. Later, in the early 1800’s, other woods such as bird’s eye maple and walnut were used. The name is said to come from the Archbishop of Canterbury because he commissioned one. It became increasingly more ornate during the Victorian period which was also a time when a great many canterburies were produced due to the Victorian passion for the piano.
Editor’s Comment Welcome to the September/October 2013 issue of Discovering ANTIQUES! The Flood! What an event. It began the day I left Calgary to go to Edmonton to do the distribution of the July/August issue. What appeared to be another dreary, rainy day became the headlines on the news I watched in Edmonton that evening. It seemed surreal to be watching these events being televised from where I lived and not thousands of miles away or on the other side of the world as they usually seem to. Fortunately, my home, and those of any family and most friends, was not affected. One description I was given of what the flood waters did in some buildings was to just lift everything up and then put it down again, leaving everything wet and covered in a thick layer of muck. In the same building, but a different area, it seemed that the water chose to toss the contents (chairs, desks, tables, etc.) around and break them before receding and again leaving what was left covered in the same thick muck. I found that really interesting, it almost gave the flood water personality. After the initial shock, several things occurred to me. One is how quickly something like this can happen, and how little control there is over the forces of Mother Nature. Also, in all the piles of destroyed and contaminated items that were standing along the streets in parts of Calgary or High River; how many priceless old pieces of furniture, or household items were there than are gone forever? (Understand, I am not comparing any of this to the treasured family pictures, or sentimental items, etc.) Some of those things might have crossed the Atlantic, come across the country in a covered wagon and served their households for generations only to be gone in what seems like an instant! For those of us who admire and appreciate beautiful old things, the potential of what might have been lost in the floods is a nightmare.

Vincent was a sensitive thinker; his canvasses were a reflection of his soul. Vincent He also put his thoughts on paper. The extensive Van Gogh’s Autograph correspondence between Vincent and his brother Theo has been saved and The Complete Letters of Vincent Van Gogh has been published by the New York Graphic Society (© 1966). For the Impressionists it was a struggle to achieve acceptance. It took quite some time before the public learned to appreciate an impressionist painting. But it did come eventually! They had to take a few steps back from the painting and let the miracle that enfolded before their eyes perform its magic. The puzzling patches and juxtaposed brush strokes would then come to life, giving meaning to the artist’s intentions. Unfortunately, many Impressionist and post-Impressionist painters did not live long enough to reap their rewards.

he edible embellishments that make ordinary ingredients taste extraordinary, Tthat define culinary styles, that rescue the too bland, or that reinvent our perception of how meals should be presented, flavoured and served; are often those whose containers or servers are later found to be the most collectable. Mustard pots, alone or as part of a “condiment set,” have always intrigued me. Generally small, round and squat, they were often of humble materials, but were always endearing. With their cunning little spoons and clever little lids, they appeal to the child in all of us. Not that their contents were at all childish or even very attractive to children; most mustard concoctions are pungent and fiery, such that a little goes a looong way. Mustard is, in fact, one of the most widespread of flavouring agents used in cuisines around the world. It is also one of the oldest. Mentioned in the earliest biblical accounts and in tracts from the East, it was known to the Romans as well. Early Europeans likely gathered the first green mustard sprigs along with dandelion, purslane, cress, wild lettuce, nettles and numerous other spring-sprouting plants. Hungry for greens, eager for some vitamins, they probably ate them fresh by the handful; but also learned that simmered in broth with grains or added to stewed meats, they gave flavour, texture and diversity to a starch- and protein-rich diet. Of the many culinary “pot greens,” mustard is probably one of the most versatile. Today, young plant tips still add zip to leafy salads and to butter-sautéd

mixed green vegetables; delicious, served simply dressed with salt and a few drops of vinegar. It is the mature mustard seeds which have provided the greatest impact to the taste buds of hungry humans. If you have ever cracked a couple of seeds between your teeth, the first sensation is one of a certain sweetness, quickly followed by a very sharp bite on the tongue, then a lingering pepperiness, and finally a mellow feeling of tingling taste bud alertness. Whole mustard played a huge role in pickling and curing down through the ages. In combination with salt, vinegar, horseradish and other strong-flavoured plants, an environment was created that was hostile to pathogenic bacteria, allowing surplus seasonal food to be stored (under the right conditions) for long periods of time. Meats, vegetables and fruits could thus be stored away for future use or to be transported for later consumption, elsewhere. Today, whole mustard seed is found in cold cuts, cured corned beef, pickles, sauerkraut, dressings for salads and potatoes, and in the many pickled herring dishes essential to the diet of a large number of Europeans!

As mentioned in the July/August 2013 issue, it the miraculous recovery after the flood such all started with a New York cowboy named Guy Weadick in Nthat the 2013 Calgary Stampede remained the “Greatest 1912. Guy had many famous friends in the entertainment Outdoor Show on Earth”. As always I attended the show business as both he and his wife Florence did vaudeville spending three days on the grounds catching up with old for a while. The first was Tom Mix (silent movie cowboy) friends. These can be found at the 1060am Radio booth, the who Weadick worked with in the Miller Brothers 101 Wild Blacksmith’s Championship, the Grain Academy and even West Show previous to 1912. He also tried his hand at acting when he was one of the investors as well as an actor in the the GMC tent. When I think back, there are many people movie His Destiny (1928) which was filmed entirely in the over the years that I have met and had my picture taken Calgary area.

While at the 1919 Stampede, it was said that he camped out at the Indian village. He claimed he felt more at home there. In the 1940’s and 1950’s two men, one who worked as a rodeo clown (bull fighter), and one who rode and trained buffalos made regular appearances. These two men were Slim Pickens and Buffalo Buddy Heaton. Slim worked many rodeos before Hollywood ‘came calling.’ My Dad remembered Slim bull fighting in Medicine Hat, dressed as 1964, Left to right Slim Pickens, Maurice Hartnett Stampede General Manager, Wilf Carter, Gordon Love Stampede President,Jay Silverheels,Tonto,of a Mexican toreador.

It was in the 1990’s that the last two ‘big-named’ western actors made an appearance. Dennis Weaver, who acted in many western television shows and movies, was Parade Marshall in 1996 and Jack Palance who did a few western movies including “City Slickers” was Parade Marshall in 1997. Wilf Carter made his final appearance at the 1988 Calgary Stampede as part of the Family Pancake Breakfast at the grandstand which is held the first Sunday of the Stampede.
