  • Razzle Dazzle Camouflage – Was It Effective?
    Razzle Dazzle Camouflage – Was it effective? By Geoff Walker The British have always been very innovative in conducting warfare, especially when it involved “Camouflage” both ashore and afloat. “Dazzle Camouflage” was just one of those many innovations. It consisted of complex patterns and geometric shapes in contrasting colors, interrupting, and intersecting, each other. It was not limited to just “Black and White”, but often multiple colors were introduced into the patterns. “HMS Belfast” at her London moorings Unknown photographer British Artist and naval officer, Norman Wilkinson had this very insight and is accredited with pioneering the Dazzle Camouflage system - known as Razzle Dazzle in the United States. Wilkinson used bright, loud colors and contrasting diagonal stripes to make it incredibly difficult to gauge a ship’s size and direction. How to camouflage ships at sea was one of the big questions of World War I. From the early stages of the war, artists, naturalists, and inventors showered the offices of the British Royal Navy with largely impractical suggestions on making ships less visible, or difficult to define. Wilkinson’s innovation, what would be called “Dazzle”, was rather than using camouflage to hide the vessel, he used it to hide the vessel’s intention. Later he’d say that he’d realized, “Since it was impossible to paint a ship so that she could not be seen by a submarine, the extreme opposite was the answer – in other words, to paint her, not for low visibility, but in such a way as to break up her form and thus confuse a submarine officer as the course on which she was heading.” Wilkinson used broad stripes and polygons of contrasting colors—black and white, green, and mauve, orange, and blue—in geometric shapes and curves to make it difficult to determine the ship’s actual shape, size, and direction.

  • Quaker Values and Arts and Crafts Principles Pamela
    THE BRYNMAWR EXPERIMENT 1928-1940 QUAKER VALUES AND ARTS AND CRAFTS PRINCIPLES by PAMELA MANAS SEH A thesis submitted to the University of Plymouth in partial fulfilment for the degreeof DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Faculty of Art and Design University College, Falmouth October, 2009 2 This copy of the thesis has been supplied on condition that anyone who consults it is understood to recognise that its copyright rests with its author and that no quotation from the thesis and no information derived from it may be published without the author's prior consent. PAMELA MANASSEH THE BRYNMAWR EXPERIMENT, 1928-1940: QUAKER VALUES AND ARTS AND CRAFTS PRINCIPLES ABSTRACT This is a study of the social work of Quakers in the town of Brynmawr in South Wales during the depressions of the 1920s and 1930s. The work, which took place during the years 1928 to 1940, has become known as the Brynmawr Experiment. The initial provision of practical and financial relief for a town suffering severely from the effects of unemployment, was developed with the establishment of craft workshops to provide employment. Special reference is made to the furniture making workshop and the personnel involved with it. The thesis attempts to trace links between the moral and aesthetic values of Quakerism and the Arts and Crafts Movement and explores the extent to which the guiding principles of the social witness project and the furniture making enterprise resemble those of the Arts and Crafts Movement of the inter-war years, 1919-1939. All aspectsof the Quaker work at Brynmawr were prompted by concern for social justice and upholding the dignity of eachindividual.

  • Sir Clements R. Markham 1830-1916
    Sir Clements R. Markham 1830-1916 ‘BLUE PLAQUES’ adorn the houses of south polar explorers James Clark Ross, Robert Falcon Scott, Edward Adrian Wilson, Sir Ernest H. Shackleton, and, at one time, Captain Laurence Oates (his house was demolished and the plaque stored away). If Sir Clements Markham had not lived, it’s not unreasonable to think that of these only the one for Ross would exist today. Markham was the Britain’s great champion of polar exploration, particularly Antarctic exploration. Markham presided over the Sixth International Geographical Congress in 1895, meeting in London, and inserted the declaration that “the exploration of the Antarctic Regions is the greatest piece of geographical exploration still to be undertaken.” The world took notice and eyes were soon directed South. Markham’s great achievement was the National Antarctic Expedition (Discovery 1901-04) for which he chose Robert Falcon Scott as leader. He would have passed on both Wilson and Shackleton, too. When Scott contemplated heading South again, it was Markham who lent his expertise at planning, fundraising and ‘gentle arm-twisting.’ Without him, the British Antarctic Expedition (Terra Nova 1910-13) might not have been. As a young man Markham was in the Royal Navy on the Pacific station and went to the Arctic on Austin’s Franklin Search expedition of 1850-51. He served for many years in the India Office. In 1860 he was charged with collecting cinchona trees and seeds in the Andes for planting in India thus assuring a dependable supply of quinine. He accompanied Napier on the Abyssinian campaign and was present at the capture of Magdala.

Interestingly, I have just finished T reading The Year of Decision - 1846 by Bernard DeVoto. The coincidence is in some ways intentional because a Taylor schoolmate of mine from the 1950's, Dale Murphy, half jokingly recommended that I read the book as I was going to be making so many speeches during our sesquicentennial celebration. As a kind of hobby, I have over the years taken special notice of events concurrent with the college's founding in 1846. The opera Carman was first performed that year and in Germany a man named Bayer discovered the value of the world's most universal drug, aspirin.

  • 'If You Build It, They Will Come' the Origins of Scotland's Country Parks
    ‘If you build it, they will come’ The Origins of Scotland’s Country Parks Volume 1 By: Phil Back A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy The University of Sheffield Faculty of Arts and Humanities Department of History May 2018 University of Sheffield: Department of History ‘If you build it, they will come’: The origins of Scotland’s Country Parks Phil Back Volume 1 Pollok Country Park, Glasgow (Author’s collection) Supervisors: Dr James Shaw, Dr Tim Baycroft, Dr Clare Griffiths and Dr Caoimhe Nic Dháibhéid Abstract Country parks emerged as a designated landscape type in the UK following legislation in the 1960s. Conceived initially as a solution to damaging impacts on the scenic and working countryside from visiting motorists, they were a response to alarmist forecasts of trends that would exacerbate these problems further. Although often mentioned in discussion of countryside policy, country parks have never been examined in depth in Scotland, where the applicability of this policy has generally been either ignored, or conflated with the experience of England & Wales. Yet recreational need in Scotland was very different, and requires specific examination, as does the solution provided. This thesis uses archive material, together with contemporary commentary, to explore countryside recreation policy in Scotland in the later twentieth century. It considers whether the factors influencing legislation in England & Wales were germane to Scotland as well, and whether the emergent Scottish policy reflected Scotland’s distinctive needs. The thesis explores the creation of the Countryside Commission for Scotland and the expectations placed upon it, together with its fundamental weaknesses.
