  • Banners in Heraldic Art
    Banners in heraldic art Magnus Backrnark Abstract The banner is very useful to heraldic art. It is a carrier of charges and colours, just like its coun­ terpart the shield. But where the shield can be seen as crude, heavy, flat and robust - its purpose being taking hits- the banner is brilliant, swift, full of I ife and motion. Its purpose is spiritual. It is lifted above anyone's head, above dust and confusion, for inspiration and guiding. Something of this character, I will with this article try to show by examples that the heraldic artist, if lucky, can translate in his or her work. First, we could though take a quick glance at the historical development of banners. The term banner approves, as we shall see, to a specific kind of flag, but in a wide sense of the word a banner is any ensign made of a peace of cloth, carried on a staff and with symbolic value to its owner(s). The profound nature of this innovation, which seem to be of oriental origin, makes it the mother of all kinds of flags. The etymologi­ cal root of the word banner is the French word banniere, derived from latin bandaria, bandum, which has German extraction, related to gothic bandwa, bandw6, 'sign'. 1 The birth of heraldry in the l2 h century Western world was preceded by centuries of use of early forms of banners, called gonfanons. From Bysantium to Normandy, everywhere in the Christian world, these ensigns usually were small rectangular lance­ flags with tai Is (Fig.

Pollinators (mostly bees) are busy pollinating blossoms in nurseries and landscapes at the same time growers and landscapers need to be managing specific pests and diseases.

  • Revere's Bookplates
    Revere’s Bookplates EVE RE’S engraving of bookplates is represented by eleven plates, four signed by him, four which were unquestionably his work, two which were probably his work, and one plate probably by his father, Apollos Rivoire. In general the plates are divided into two groups according to the style of the mantling. In the first group there are seven plates, three signed and four unsigned. They are almost identical, in the elaborate Chippendale style of mantling, scroll work, flowers, and motto ribbon. Revere used the same mantling many times, changing the coat-of- arms, the crest, and the name. It is probable that he used some English bookplate as his model, copying it faithfully, yet I have never located this English plate, although I have examined many thousands by English engravers. It is possible that he used his father’s Paul Rivoire plate for a model. The seven plates in the first group are as follows: Gardiner Chandler. Signed “P Revere scuip.” The coat-of-arms and the crest follow the design of the bookplate of his brother, John Chandler, Jr. (1721— i8oo), earlier engraved by Nathaniel Hurd; but the mantling is more elaborate and is distinctly Revere’s. Also the plate bears in the upper left corner the abbrevia tion “No,” with a superior “o” directly above two parallel lines, a characteristic of Revere’s bookplates and also of his colonial paper currency. Gardiner Chandler’s dates were 1723—1782 and the plate was probably engraved in the 1760’s. The original copper was long owned by Mrs.

  • 1 President's Message
    PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE by David M. Cvet Summer is upon us with a vengeance, breaking temperature records from the 1930's – at least in Toronto. The warmer weather has had some fits and starts, with warm weather followed by frost, causing newly planted peppers and tomatoes to be damaged beyond saving. However, these exciting events pale in comparison to seeing the Queen's Beasts (some depicted on the right) who will be attending the Society's formal dinner at this year's Annual General Meeting, scheduled for October 1-3, 2010 in Ottawa. The Annual Meeting itself will be held at the Delta Ottawa Hotel on Queen Street. The Saturday evening dinner will take place at the Canadian Museum of Civilization (across the Ottawa River in Gatineau, Quebec), which will provide a grand setting for our annual banquet, graced as it will be with these impressive “guests”. We are indeed grateful to David Rumball for organizing this event, and for arranging with the museum to have the Queen's Beasts available for the dinner. I encourage our members to make the necessary calendar and travel to enhance the “coolness” factor of the Society in order to attract arrangements to attend this splendid event. new members – and to retain our present ones. One important reason for having the AGM in Ottawa this year As an example, at the recent Toronto Branch AGM (combined (rather than being hosted by the Prairie Branch, as it would have with the Society's Board meeting earlier the same day) the been in the usual sequence) is the expectation that the new formal dinner at Hart House was visually recorded by a Canadian Heraldic Authority tabard (donated by the Society) photographer I had arranged as my guest.

  • Chronology of Selected Ski Lifts Notes for 2001 Exhibit, New England Ski Museum Jeff Leich
    Chronology of Selected Ski Lifts Notes for 2001 Exhibit, New England Ski Museum Jeff Leich The following notes on ski lifts are intended to aid in the development of a Ski Museum exhibit. In many cases it is unclear from the sources referenced below exactly when a particular lift was installed or first operated. It is also probable that sources with data on certain early ski lifts was not located. It is therefore not possible to compare opening dates to determine which lift was "the first" of its kind to operate; rather, this chronology is intended to indicate the general sequence of the development of early ski lifts of the stated types. 1870 Eureka Mine ore tramway used to transport miners for skiing (Allen, 109, 203 note 22--Vallejo CA Sunday Times Herald, 12-13-1870). "For example, the ore bucket of the Plumas Eureka Mine at Johnsville (CA) was converted on Sundays into the world's first ski tow. It was operated by steam". (Gould, p 136 (ref to Vallejo CA Sunday Times Herald, 12-13-1870). 1896 Riblet Tramways Company of Spokane, WA begins designing mining tramways (Gilbert, p. 2). 1907 Sightseeing four-passenger gondola built in Silver Plume, CO; torn down for scrap metal about 1914 (Gilbert, p. 2). 1907 "Sled lifts had been employed on the slopes of Bodele in the Voralberg region of Austria as early as 1907" (Gilbert, p. 4). 1908 Haulback tows used in Europe as early as 1908 (Allen, 109, note 20 on pg 203, from patent application, March 16, 1908). 1910 "A tow to haul toboggans was ready for the Truckee CA carnival in 1910 and then was used later by skiers following the formation of the Truckee Ski Club in 1913".
