Dr HD CHAMBERLAIN, ANTIQUE ARCHITECTURAL PRINTS Dr H. D. CHAMBERLAIN, ANTIQUE ARCHITECTURAL PRINTS COLLECTION Architecture Museum, University of South Australia Dr H. DAVID CHAMBERLAIN, ANTIQUE ARCHITECTURAL PRINTS SERIES 260 HISTORY Dr H. David Chamberlain was born in Adelaide in 1942 and was educated at Highgate Primary and Unley High Schools. He studied medicine at the University of Adelaide and began practising medicine in Kurralta Park in 1969. On his first trip to Europe in 1975 he became fascinated by its architecture and history, and discovered the world of architectural prints and purchase these and architectural books on subsequent trips. The Architecture Museum at the University of South Australia has been pleased to accept many of these. In 1975 Dr Chamberlain purchased and restored a historic home in the Mt Lofty Ranges above Adelaide. COLLECTION DESCRIPTION Over several years Dr H.D. Chamberlain has made a very generous series of donations of prints and books containing prints to the Architecture Museum. The total holding of this collection is over 4000 prints and over 100 books. So far, a preliminary cataloguing has been done for three-quarters of the prints. While the focus of this collection is architecture, it is diverse, and it is also significant as a resource of British and European history and art of the 18th and 19th (and to a lesser extent 17th and 20th) centuries. The main counties of origin are Britain, France, Italy, Germany, Flanders and Holland. The historical aspects of the collection are obvious, but are even more pertinent because a large proportion of the prints show human activity as well as buildings. A few series depict events. Most of the main methods of print-making are well-represented: engravings (copper and steel), etchings, aquatints, lithographs, and chromo-lithographs. Fine early photographic reproduction is also present. Most of the prints are in good condition, including some with added water-colouring and the quality of engraving in some architectural prints is exceptionally fine. Some series may be considered more as art than of architecture, such as many of the British “picturesque” scenes of the 1780-1850s. Yet other 19th century prints, though architectural, have an expressive quality. *Please note this collection is still being accessioned. Page 1 Architecture Museum, University of South Australia.

  • Soho Depicted: Prints, Drawings and Watercolours of Matthew Boulton, His Manufactory and Estate, 1760-1809
    SOHO DEPICTED: PRINTS, DRAWINGS AND WATERCOLOURS OF MATTHEW BOULTON, HIS MANUFACTORY AND ESTATE, 1760-1809 by VALERIE ANN LOGGIE A thesis submitted to The University of Birmingham for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Department of History of Art College of Arts and Law The University of Birmingham January 2011 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties. The intellectual property rights of the author or third parties in respect of this work are as defined by The Copyright Designs and Patents Act 1988 or as modified by any successor legislation. Any use made of information contained in this thesis/dissertation must be in accordance with that legislation and must be properly acknowledged. Further distribution or reproduction in any format is prohibited without the permission of the copyright holder. ABSTRACT This thesis explores the ways in which the industrialist Matthew Boulton (1728-1809) used images of his manufactory and of himself to help develop what would now be considered a ‘brand’. The argument draws heavily on archival research into the commissioning process, authorship and reception of these depictions. Such information is rarely available when studying prints and allows consideration of these images in a new light but also contributes to a wider debate on British eighteenth-century print culture. The first chapter argues that Boulton used images to convey messages about the output of his businesses, to draw together a diverse range of products and associate them with one site. Chapter two explores the setting of the manufactory and the surrounding estate, outlining Boulton’s motivation for creating the parkland and considering the ways in which it was depicted.

  • Queen Elizabeth II the Queen’S Early Life the Queen Was Born at 2.40Am on 21 April 1926 at 17 Bruton Street in Mayfair, London
    Queen Elizabeth II The Queen’s early life The Queen was born at 2.40am on 21 April 1926 at 17 Bruton Street in Mayfair, London. She was the first child of The Duke and Duchess of York, who later became King George VI and Queen Elizabeth. At the time she stood third in line of succession to the throne after Edward, Prince of Wales (later King Edward VIII), and her father, The Duke of York. But it was not expected that her father would become King, or that she would become Queen. The Duke and Duchess of York with Princess Elizabeth The Queen’s early life The Princess was christened Elizabeth Alexandra Mary in the private chapel at Buckingham Palace. She was named after her mother, while her two middle names are those of her paternal great-grandmother, Queen Alexandra, and paternal grandmother, Queen Mary. The Princess's early years were spent at 145 Piccadilly, the London house taken by her parents shortly after her birth, and at White Lodge in Richmond Park. She also spent time at the country homes of her paternal grandparents, King George V and Queen Mary, and her mother's parents, the Earl and Countess of Strathmore. In 1930, Princess Elizabeth gained a sister, with the birth of Princess Margaret Rose. The family of four was very close. The Queen’s early life When she was six years old, her parents took over Royal Lodge in Windsor Great Park as their own country home. Princess Elizabeth's quiet family life came to an end in 1936, when her grandfather, King George V, died.

It explores a number of trajectories embarked upon by Boydell and his artists in their collective attempt to promote an English aesthetic. It broadly argues that the Shakespeare Gallery offered an antidote to a variety of perceived problems which had emerged at the Royal Academy over the previous twenty years, defining itself against Academic theory and practice. Identifying and examining the cluster of spatial, ideological and aesthetic concerns which characterised the Shakespeare Gallery, my research suggests that the Gallery promoted a vision for a national art form which corresponded to contemporary senses of English cultural and political identity, and takes issue with current art-historical perceptions about the 'failure' of Boydell's scheme. The introduction maps out some of the existing scholarship in this area and exposes the gaps which art historians have previously left in our understanding of the Shakespeare Gallery.
