Mabb for William Shears, 1653 (separate title-page for The Art of Angling: “London: Printed in the yeare, 1653”). Second edition. Contemporary calf, marbled edges (extremities rubbed, front joint tender, some light spotting). In quarter brown morocco slip- case and cloth chemise. Wing B-784; Henrey I, 48; Westwood and Satchell p. 21; Catalogue of the library of Thomas Westwood (1873), no. 21; Heckscher Catalogue 126 (rebound). Provenance: J. Emmarton (flyleaf signature); Gloucester book plate. Second edition of Thomas Barker’s The Art of Angling, a rare pre-Waltonian treatise first printed in 1651, and issued here for the first time with The Country-mans Recreation (the latter also attributed to Barker by Wing; by Henrey to Leonard Mascall and Regi- nald Scot). The Country-mans Recreation had first been published in three parts in 1640, too early for the inclusion of Barker’s 1651 work; those three parts had also appeared separately. The first part is an anonymous reprint of A booke of the art and maner howe to plant and graffe all sortes of trees, translated by Leonard Mascall from the French of Brossard’s L’Art & manière de semer, etc. The second is an anonymous reprint of A perfite platform of a hoppe garden by Reginald Scot, (also published separately as Wing S946), with a separate title page dated 1653. The third part is a reissue of The expert gardener (STC 11562), with separate title-page dated 1654; this also has separate pagination and register. Here, The Art of Angling also bears a separate title-page, dated 1653, and has separate pagination and register. The ads at the back of this lovely copy, in its contemporary binding, clearly men- tion this work in its four parts on page [8]; the Huntington and Harvard copies of this edition of Barker also appear with The Country-mans Recreation; and the book clearly has no separate existence apart from it; yet in the nineteenth century, copies were routinely bound as separate volumes (e.g., the Heckscher copy), and Westwood & Satchell remark that “it is sometimes annexed to The Country-mans Recreation.” A beautiful copy of this choice seventeenth-century work.

  • John Singer Sargent's British and American Sitters, 1890-1910

    John Singer Sargent's British and American Sitters, 1890-1910

    JOHN SINGER SARGENT’S BRITISH AND AMERICAN SITTERS, 1890-1910: INTERPRETING CULTURAL IDENTITY WITHIN SOCIETY PORTRAITS EMILY LOUISA MOORE TWO VOLUMES VOLUME 1 PH.D. UNIVERSITY OF YORK HISTORY OF ART SEPTEMBER 2016 ABSTRACT Began as a compositional analysis of the oil-on-canvas portraits painted by John Singer Sargent, this thesis uses a selection of those images to relate national identity, cultural and social history within cosmopolitan British and American high society between 1890 and 1910. Close readings of a small selection of Sargent’s portraits are used in order to undertake an in-depth analysis on the particular figural details and decorative elements found within these images, and how they can relate to nation-specific ideologies and issues present at the turn of the century. Thorough research was undertaken to understand the prevailing social types and concerns of the period, and biographical data of individual sitters was gathered to draw larger inferences about the prevailing ideologies present in America and Britain during this tumultuous era. Issues present within class and family structures, the institution of marriage, the performance of female identity, and the formulation of masculinity serve as the topics for each of the four chapters. These subjects are interrogated and placed in dialogue with Sargent’s visual representations of his sitters’ identities. Popular images of the era, both contemporary and historic paintings, as well as photographic prints are incorporated within this analysis to fit Sargent’s portraits into a larger art historical context. The Appendices include tables and charts to substantiate claims made in the text about trends and anomalies found within Sargent’s portrait compositions.

We are extremely grateful to Findlay Galleries and Jimmy Borynack Mfor staging this fundraising event and reception in aid of the Blenheim Foundation. This will help enormously with the ongoing restoration needed to ensure the future of Blenheim for future generations who visit from all over the world. 5 Duke & DuchessFINDLAY of Marlborough 6 I am so delighted to introduce to you the exhibition of paintings by that Blenheim Palace represents. The long-term target remains to the talented artist Charles Neal, titled ‘Blenheim Palace in New York’, create an endowment in excess of £15m – the fund currently stands at all of which are of Blenheim Palace and Park. The paintings have been around £10m. There remains therefore, a challenging gap to secure the painstakingly researched and created by Charles over a three-year long-term target and achieve the level of endowment required. Unlike period specifically for Blenheim and we are thrilled with the results. all other UK World Heritage Sites, Blenheim Palace attracts no public He has a unique perspective on this World Heritage Site and Historic funding so the task of preserving and restoring it falls squarely upon Palace.

DESCRIPTORS *Archives; *Authors; *Females; Modern History; Presidents of the United States; Primary Sources; Resource Materials; Social History; *United States History IDENTIFIERS *First Ladies (United States); *Personal Writing; Public Records; Social Power; Twentieth Century; Womens History ABSTRACT This collection of essays about the Presidential wives of the 20th century through Nancy Reagan. An exploration of the records of first ladies will elicit diverse insights about the historical impact of these women in their times. Interpretive theories that explain modern first ladies are still tentative and exploratory. The contention in the essays, however, is that whatever direction historical writing on presidential wives may follow, there is little question that the future role of first ladies is more likely to expand than to recede to the days of relatively silent and passive helpmates. Following a foreword and an introduction, essays in the collection and their authors are, as follows: "Meeting a New Century: The Papers of Four Twentieth-Century First Ladies" (Mary M. Wolf skill); "Not One to Stay at Home: The Papers of Lou Henry Hoover" (Dale C.
