Date de l'export : jeudi 16 mai 2013 (17:18 h) Langue : Instrument de recherche rédigé en français Biographie ou Histoire : Jean Thézeloup naît à Coutances le 13 janvier 1885. Son père tient un commerce de cuirs à Coutances. Il suit probablement des études de peinture et de gravure sur bois. Vers 1915, il lance, avec Joseph Quesnel et René Jouenne, le mouvement artistique du " Pou qui Grimpe ". Ensemble, ils produisent plusieurs publications et illustrations. Leurs ouvrages les plus connus sont "Le livre du Pou" et la collection des "Almanachs". Le décès de René Jouenne en 1923 marque la séparation du groupe. Après avoir travaillé quelques temps à Nice, Jean Thézeloup s'installe en 1928 à Coutainville, dans sa " Villa Marguerite ". Il continue sa carrière de peintre et illustrateur, et participe notamment à la décoration des fêtes du Millénaire de la Normandie en 1933. Jean Thézeloup fréquente les intellectuels et artistes régionalistes de l'époque comme Louis Beuve, Georges Laisney, Raymond Lelièvre ou Louis Le Mare. Il décède à Agon- Coutainville en 1968. Histoire de la conservation : Suite au décès de Jean Thézeloup en 1968, il est probable que les documents retrouvés ont été remis à sa sSur, Françoise Thézeloup, épouse Bellamy. Les archives sont ensuite restées dans la maison familiale Bellamy à Cerisy-la-Salle, jusqu'à ce qu'une succession, en 2010, conduise les héritiers à confier l'ensemble des biens demeurés dans la maison à deux brocanteurs de la Manche. L'ensemble des documents a été acheté en 2011 par le conseil général de la Manche, au bénéfice des archives départementales, avec une subvention du service interministériel des archives de France à hauteur de 50%. Les documents ont parfois souffert de l'humidité notamment les archives de la famille Bellamy. Modalités d'entrée : Achat (2011). Zone du contenu et de la structure Présentation du contenu : Le fonds d'archives comprend une partie d'archives familiales " classiques " (actes notariés, correspondance, papiers administratifs) des familles Thézeloup et Bellamy. Les archives de la famille Thézeloup sont constituées de papiers personnels et professionnels et de photographies des parents de Jean Thézeloup, Narcisse Thézeloup et Apolline Nicolle, ainsi que d'oeuvres de son grand-père Marc Thézeloup, ancien professeur de dessin à Caen. Les archives de la famille Bellamy regroupent des papiers personnels et professionnels, des photographies et une abondante correspondance de Jacques-Octave Bellamy, de sa femme Françoise Thézeloup, et de leurs enfants. Ont également été retrouvés quelques documents provenant de la justice de paix de Cerisy-la-Salle, via Jacques-Octave Bellamy, ancien 2 / 51 Archives départementales de la Manche greffier, et François Bellamy, ancien juge de paix. La présence des archives Bellamy s'explique par le fait que les archives de Jean Thézeloup ont été gardées à son décès par sa soeur, Françoise Thézeloup. La majeure partie des documents et des objets concerne plus particulièrement Jean Thézeloup, graveur, peintre et illustrateur manchois. C'est cette seconde partie, et de loin la plus importante, qui rend ce fonds d'archives particulièrement intéressant. Il est extrêmement varié, contient les archives personnelles de Jean Thézeloup : correspondance, papiers d'identités, photographies, cartes de visites, objets personnels (pipe, cannes, vêtements). S'y trouvent également ses effets d'artiste : matériels de gravure, de peinture. Le fonds contient surtout des oeuvres de ce peintre, des projets de gravures et d'affiches, des bois gravés. D'autres artistes sont représentés dans cet ensemble : certains tableaux, gravures et dessins sont de Joseph Quesnel, René Jouenne, Georges Laisney, et plus généralement d'artistes liés au mouvement coutançais du " Pou qui Grimpe ". Parmi eux, Joseph Quesnel (1897-1931), fondateur, René Jouenne (1897-1923) et Jean Thézeloup (1885-1968), auxquels se joindront progressivement et temporairement d'autres compagnons : Guy Arnoux, Arlette Bouvier, Gérard Cochet, Georges Laisney, Edmond-Marie Poullain. Ce mouvement, parrainé par Adolphe Willette, est créé en 1915 à Coutances, alors que la cité épiscopale devient un vaste complexe hospitalier pour les militaires blessés. Il faut se préoccuper de leur fournir quelques distractions : fêtes de charités, galas de bienfaisance, expositions. Jusqu'en 1923, le groupe poursuit son entreprise artistique ; il s'agit alors de remettre à l'honneur l'histoire, la culture et les traditions locales par le biais d'un art nouveau et populaire. Ces artistes se signalent par l'étonnante diversité de leurs créations : peintures, gravures, livres illustrés, almanachs, affiches et aussi représentations théâtrales, poésies, chansons. Adeptes de l'ironie et de l'humour, ils inventent une fête canularesque en l'honneur de saint Pinxit, saint imaginaire protecteur des peintres. Au fil des années, la renommée du groupe gagne la capitale, auprès d'artistes tel qu'Érik Satie, Raoul Dufy et aussi auprès des artistes de Montmartre à l'instar d'Adolphe Willette. Les artistes s'intéressent à l'édition dans un style très novateur, avec le respect de la richesse et de l'originalité du patrimoine normand et manchois. Ils célèbrent l'oeuvre de Barbey d'Aurevilly (1808-1889) et de Remy de Gourmont (1858-1915). Ils rencontrent des artistes et des régionalistes de l'époque, dont Louis Beuve ou Raymond Lelièvre, ce qui explique pourquoi le fonds conserve les oeuvres d'autres artistes, souvent offertes à Jean Thézeloup, mais qui pour une partie n'ont pu être identifiées.

Pepin shown standing Pepin le Bref Baldwin II, Margrave of Flanders 2 Continental Ancestors Before Hastings Saints, nuns, bishops, brewers, dukes and even kings among them David Anderson March 12, 2016 Abstract Early on, our motivation for studying the ancestors of the Chicago Rodger’s was to determine if, according to rumor, they are descendants of any of the Scottish Earls of Bothwell. We relied mostly on two resources on the Internet: Ancestry.com and Scotlandspeople.gov.uk. We have been subscribers of both. Finding the ancestral lines connecting the Chicago Rodger’s to one or more of the Scottish Earls of Bothwell was the most time consuming and difficult undertaking in generating the results shown in a later book of this series of three books. It shouldn’t be very surprising that once we found Earls in Scotland we would also find Kings and Queens, which we did. The ancestral line that connects to the Earls of Bothwell goes through Helen Heath (1831-1902) who was the mother and/or grandmother of the Chicago Rodger’s She was the paternal grandmother of my grandfather, Alfred Heath Rodger. Within this Heath ancestral tree we found four lines of ancestry without any evident errors or ambiguities. Three of those four lines reach just one Earl of Bothwell, the 1st, and the fourth line reaches the 1st, 2nd and 3rd.

MDCCCXLIIL Digitized by GoogI e OXPOBD: PRINTSD BY I. 8RBlIlPTON. THE OXFORD SOCIETY FOR PROMOTING THE STUDY OF GO THIC ARCHITECTURE. GOTHIC ARCHITECTURE is a subject which has of late years excited a considerable degree of public interest, and the labours of many eminent individuals have been directed to the recovery of its Principles. From the scarcity of records ex­ isting monuments are the safest guides in this research: but as they are widely separated, the labour of examination and comparison is so great, that, without some more systematic plan of operation than has hitherto been adopted, we can scarcely expect that the task will be satisfactorily accom­ plished. It has been suggested that this inconvenience may be best met by the formation of Local Associations, having for their principal aim the collecting of Drawings, and descriptions of the Edifices in their immediate neighbourhood, which would thus form so many sources, whence the enquirers into the Gothic Antiquities of any particular district might derive in­ formation.· In furtherance of this object, "The Oxford Society for Promoting the Study of Gothic Architecture" .has been established. The number of Churches now fast rising in every part of tbecountry, renders it 6ithe highest importance to provide for the cultivation of correct Architectural Taste; the circum­ stances of this place seem to point it out as peculiarly well suited for the purpose; because many of its residents are, or soon will be, Clergymen, the constituted guardians of our Ecclesiutical Edifices, while the City itself, and its neigh­ bourhood, abound in specimens of every period of the Art.
