Announcement was made in the Prospectus, through the press, and by circulars addressed to business men, that applications for space could be made from June 1st to July 15th, and that space would be assigned to accepted applicants as early as practicable after the appli­ cations had been received; but many exhibitors delayed making applications until several weeks after the expiration of the allotted time. In'all cases where it was possible space has been assigned to the dilatory applicants, and in some instances it has been necessary to place them in other departments than those to which their exhibits properly belonged. Every exhibitor has been furnished with blanks upon which to make out lists of the articles proposed to be exhibited, and those who have not promptly responded have repeatedly been requested to till up and return these blanks to the Manager's office ; but several have failed to comply with these requests, and their exhibits are therefore necessarily omitted from the Catalogue. But, notwithstanding the obstacles and delays encountered, it is believed that the Catalogue is reasonably complete for the first year, and it is hoped that on another year a greater degree of promptness will be manifested by exhibitors, rendering it possible to prepare a much more complete and satisfac­ tory list.

    A DIACHRONIC EXAMINATION OF THE ERECHTHEION AND ITS RECEPTION Alexandra L. Lesk, B.A., M.St. (Oxon.), M.A. Presented to McMicken College of Arts and Sciences and the Department of Classics of the University of Cincinnati in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy 2004 Committee: C. Brian Rose (Chair) Jack L. Davis Kathleen M. Lynch J. James Coulton Abstract iii ABSTRACT “A Diachronic Examination of the Erechtheion and Its Reception” examines the social life of the Ionic temple on the Athenian Akropolis, which was built in the late 5th century B.C. to house Athens’ most sacred cults and relics. Using a contextualized diachronic approach, this study examines both the changes to the Erechtheion between its construction and the middle of the 19th century A.D., as well as the impact the temple had on the architecture and art of these successive periods. This approach allows the evidence to shed light on new areas of interest such as the Post-Antique phases of the building, in addition to affording a better understanding of problems that have plagued the study of the Erechtheion during the past two centuries. This study begins with a re-examination of all the pertinent archaeological, epigraphical, and literary evidence, and proposes a wholly new reconstruction of how the Erechtheion worked physically and ritually in ancient times. After accounting for the immediate influence of the Erechtheion on subsequent buildings of the Ionic order, an argument for a Hellenistic rather than Augustan date for the major repairs to the temple is presented.

AH. lqAo FRON'i'ISPIECE FOREWORD OF the many interesting features which give the area known as Charnwood Forest its peculiar charm, its almost unique geological character has a notable place. Among the great variety of rocks forming the foundation of the Charnian landscape is the vein of workable slate which occurs in the volcanic rocks of the southern half of the Forest. These deposits of slates have been known for many centuries; there is a strong reason to believe that the Romans worked them, as they worked so many of our British minerals, while the size and depth of the quarries at Swithland give clear proof of the extent to which they have been worked in more recent times. The main seat of the slate industry was at Swithland, where, in the middle of that part of the wood which was purchased by the Leicester Rotary Club and entrusted to the Bradgate Park Trustees, there are two great hollows in the ground with vertical sides and half filled with water. It was mainly from these pits that the raw materials of the industry with which Mr.

OS LG “P” (15 items) Abstract: The Plankintons were among Milwaukee’s most prominent business and civic families. John Plankinton (1820-1891)—through partnerships with Frederick Layton, Philip Armour, and Patrick Cudahy—prospered as one of the state’s earliest meat packers. He also built the Plankinton House Hotel. His son, William (1844-1905) became a partner in the family business, but after his father’s death, he focused his energies on managing the family estate and his work with several business enterprises, such as the Johnson Electric Service Company. After William passed away, management of the Plankinton Arcade and family estate fell to his son William Woods Plankinton (d. 1927), William Woods Plankinton, Jr. (1906-1965), and Elisabeth Plankinton Mackintosh (1910-2009). The entire Plankinton family—including William’s wife, Ella Woods, and John’s daughter, Elizabeth—was tremendously philanthropic. Elizabeth, for example, donated numerous gifts to the city including the George Washington statue on W. Wisconsin Avenue. Scope and Content: The collection consists of ledgers, photographs, correspondence, minutes, newspaper clippings, estate-related documents and other ephemera that documents the lives of various members of the Plankinton family as well as the Plankinton House/Hotel and the Plankinton estate.

  • Illigraphy Copy
    THE ORIGINS OF ILLIGRAPHY Calligraphy (from Ancient Greek: κάλλος kallos "beauty" and γραφή graphẽ "writing") ill cool, tight, sweet 2. Adj. Having great skill or skills with respect to a particular endeavor. illigraphy Name attributed to drawings and graphic works by artist Russell Coleman Below is an abstract from The Concrete Cook Book In which Russ Coleman explains the origins and contributing factors to the graphic works that he describes as illigraphy. Beyond words and letters and form and function. For the first 10 years of my working career I was a full time letter carver. This involved carving letters by hand onto stone memorials mainly marble and granite. I learned many styles and techniques of hand carved lettering using various hammers, chisels and tools. It took approximately 3 years to learn to do this, it took another 3 years to get good at doing it and it took a further 3 years to get fast at doing it. I was paid a “piece rate,” or payment by the letter. To earn my wages in the most proficient manner I taught myself every short cut and hack that could be be used in the process of carving letters, plus some of my own invention. At the beginning of my career, semi automated letter cutting, letters made with the use of a large pantograph style machine were generally considered to be an inferior product. These machined letters were finished by hand to bring them up to acceptable standards. By the end of my letter cutting career, ‘sand blast’ lettering had altered the industry completely and become the acceptable norm.

In a series of slow dissolves, the horizon east of South Shore Park comes alive with the colors of sunrise. As sun clears the horizon, camera slows to real time and pulls back to show the urban lakefront. Host starts talking and walks into the frame. It starts here, of course, where the lake meets the land. Our story dawns beside one of the largest bodies of fresh water on earth. Today Lake Michigan is weather and drinking water, a place to fish and a place to sail, but it’s much more than that. Lake Michigan is why Milwaukee’s here. It was on this shore of an inland sea, where a deep river enters a broad bay, that a city was born. Pan north across bay to downtown and hold. Wave sounds continue. It would be a city known for beer and bubblers, for smokestacks and steeples, for Socialist mayors and major industries. But that’s not how Milwaukee began. Wave sounds up. Indian drumbeats begin. As each wave breaks, a layer of urban features is washed away, and the scene morphs to an early-morning view of a broad beach bordered by forest in deep winter.
