It was during restoration in 1983 that the royal coat of 6 arms on the pediment of Leith Customs House was discovered to have been carved by the Steell family. Intriguingly, this is also the only one of the known examples to have a date, that of 1813, carved into the reverse adjacent to the signature. Thanks to the work of Charles J Burnett we know that the piece was seemingly originally painted in a monochromatic colour scheme. A simple visual examination of these three images reveals a surprising amount. Rather than keeping to a standard design and scaling the motifs up and down, Steell tailored each coat of arms precisely. The poses of the lion and unicorn supporters are quite different in each case.

  • A Silver Tankard with a Waterloo Connexion for a Client in New Jersey, U.S.A
    A silver tankard with a Waterloo connexion for a client in New Jersey, U.S.A. Hallmarked for London, 1721, the tankard was acquired at auction with a speculative attribution to ‘the family of the Duke of Wellington’. The principal identifying feature is an engraved crest on the body, well worn, but still with sufficient detail to facilitate identification. The most obvious characteristics are five lions on a cross, between four displayed eagles. The shield of Arms is surmounted by a coronet and a crest (now virtually indecipherable), and the supporters, drawn almost dog-like, are each gorged with a coronet. ¶ The Arms, like most simple coats, are easily identified; they belong to the Paget family ‘of Staffordshire’. In the form depicted on the tankard, they were granted to William Paget (c. 1506–63), son of William Paget ‘of Wednesbury, Staffordshire, of humble beginnings’. The younger Paget was educated in Trinity Hall, Cambridge, and the University of Paris, rising in due course to a series of government posts. Described as ‘of Bromley, County Stafford’, he was knighted in January 1544, installed as a knight of the Order of the Garter on 17th February 1547, and became ‘Baron Paget of Beaudesert in the County of Staffordshire’ on 3rd December 1549. ¶ William Paget married Anne Preston c. 1530 and had ten children.[1] His later career was mired in controversy, and he was ‘degraded’ from the Order of the Garter in September 1552 only to be re-admitted a year later (replacing the attainted Earl of Essex). ¶ The Paget Arms and title descended to his eldest son Henry, and then on his death intestate to the next son Thomas (c.

  • Discover the Styles and Techniques of French Master Carvers and Gilders
    LOUIS STYLE rench rames F 1610–1792F SEPTEMBER 15, 2015–JANUARY 3, 2016 What makes a frame French? Discover the styles and techniques of French master carvers and gilders. This magnificent frame, a work of art in its own right, weighing 297 pounds, exemplifies French style under Louis XV (reigned 1723–1774). Fashioned by an unknown designer, perhaps after designs by Juste-Aurèle Meissonnier (French, 1695–1750), and several specialist craftsmen in Paris about 1740, it was commissioned by Gabriel Bernard de Rieux, a powerful French legal official, to accentuate his exceptionally large pastel portrait and its heavy sheet of protective glass. On this grand scale, the sweeping contours and luxuriously carved ornaments in the corners and at the center of each side achieve the thrilling effect of sculpture. At the top, a spectacular cartouche between festoons of flowers surmounted by a plume of foliage contains attributes symbolizing the fair judgment of the sitter: justice (represented by a scale and a book of laws) and prudence (a snake and a mirror).

The early 1600s through the 1700s was a golden age for frame making in Paris during which functional surrounds for paintings became expressions of artistry, innovation, taste, and wealth. The primary stylistic trendsetter was the sovereign, whose desire for increas- ingly opulent forms of display spurred the creative Fig.

  • Chian Relief Pottery and Its Relationship to Chian and East Greek Architectural Terracottas
    CHIAN RELIEF POTTERY AND ITS RELATIONSHIP TO CHIAN AND EAST GREEK ARCHITECTURAL TERRACOTTAS (PLATES23, 24) rT HE RELATIONSHIP between the relief decorationof temple entablaturesand relief potteryhas been discussedmany times in the past.1Scholars have suggestedsome pos- sible ways that architecturalreliefs might have affectedthe arrangementof the decoration on relief pottery (i.e., compositionin metopes or in a continuous band2),but for the most part they have focusedon the analogies existing between the moldings of temple simas and the formationof the lip of some Cretan relief pithoi, especially those from Arkades. Fea- tures such as the strongly flaring lip of these pithoi, the decorationof the rim with molded tori or with other patternswhich was currentas early as the first half of the 7th century,and particularlythe ridged protrusionshanging from the lip, frequentlyin the form of the head of a lion, bull, panther, or horse, have led many scholarsto comparethe design of these lips with the similar arrangementof the temple sima and to correlatethe protrusionsand the heads with the water spouts of the sima.3 l Some of the problems set forward here were outlined briefly in Simantoni-Bournias,1987. In the paper which follows, comparisonswith Chian material are limited for the most part to parallels from the realm of East Greek art, since influenceis more likely to come from a culturallyrelated area. I am grateful to Dr. M. E. Caskey, who read a draft of this paper and polished my English. I also wish to express my thanks to the Ephor of Chios-Mytilene, Mrs. A.

  • Sails of Glory Battle for the Seas a Sails of Glory Campaign
    Sails Of Glory Battle for the Seas A Sails of Glory Campaign Time Sometime during the Napoleonic Wars 1803-1805. Info about the Campaign After Napoleon had won many great victories on land in Europe, and crushed every country in battle. France was the dominating power in Europe on land and the English were masters of the sea. Behind their wooden wall of ships, they were relatively safe from any invasion force. Napoleon wanted to change this and invade England. In March 1802 a peace treaty was signed between France and England in Amiens, France. But both countries were irritated and angry with each other’s actions in the aftermath of the peace treaty, and it was an uneasy peace. And after some diplomatic quarrels England declared war on France again in May 1803. After war broke out again, Napoleon started preparation for invasion of England – but to have success, he needed to take out the English fleet that protected the English Channel. From 1803 to 1805 a new army of 150 000-200,000 men, known as the Armée des côtes de l'Océan (Army of the Ocean Coasts) or the Armée d'Angleterre (Army of England), was gathered and trained at camps at Boulogne, Bruges and Montreuil. A large "National Flotilla" of invasion barges was built in Channel ports along the coasts of France and the Netherlands. A fleet of nearly 2000 craft. At the same time he made plans with the Spanish to assemble a large fleet, which was strong enough to challenge the English Navy, and make it possible for Napoleon to invade England.

    JOURNAL OF WORLD-SYSTEMS RESEARCH ISSN: 1076-156X | Vol. 26 Issue 1 | DOI 10.5195/JWSR.2020.917 | jwsr.pitt.edu Coppering the Industrial Revolution History, Materiality and Culture in the Making of an Ecological Regime Daniel Cunha Binghamton University [email protected] Abstract No copper, no Industrial Revolution. Although accountants listed it in the very last position in the table of “value added” per sector in 1831, the British copper industry was essential for the Industrial Revolution, the period of British hegemony over the world-economy. In this article, I use the figure-ground method proposed by Terence K. Hopkins to show that the copper industry played key roles in the ecological regime of the 1700-1840 period, due to its material properties and related historical contingencies and cultural valuations. By focusing in on particular production processes, historical contingencies, and cultural phenomena in which copper played an important and unique role, and then zooming out again to the world-economy as a whole, I show that an Industrial Revolution would not have happened without copper. From sugar production in the Caribbean to textile printing, from the slave trade to the Battle of the Saintes, from the development of the steam engine to gin and rum production, from the telegraph to buckles and buttons, copper was conspicuous. This demonstrates the ecological regime of the period, in which the removal of a single commodity from the picture—i.e., copper—disrupts the whole constellation of relations. This study also shows that a “copper boom” immediately before and at the start of the Industrial Revolution (~1700-1800), instrumental in the British struggle against France for the hegemony over the world- economy, has been overlooked in the literature.
