Little Bo-Peep
No full textHere is another Donohue surprise-a book, like Jack and Jill (1895?) that contains only the title-story and fables. This book has the same cover border, the same back cover, and the same Mother Goose endpapers as that book. Its selection of fables surprises me because it seems to complement carefully the selection of fables there. Though they seem to draw on the same sources (see my comments there), there are no repeaters here. After Little Bo-Peep there are four fables, three of which (The Larks and the Farmer, FS, and BW) identify their texts as by Clara Doty Bates. The fourth, TH, has illustrations by Childe Hassam. The first fable is curious for presenting first a full-page illustration by one hand, titled The Larks and the Farmers. Then come five pages with the title The Larks and the Farmer and illustrations by a different hand. Other than Bates and Hassam, I cannot identify the author and artists. There is some material missing at the end, including the finish of BW and one of the endpapers. This book has no spine left. All its pages are separated. Still, I was lucky to get it at this price!This is a hardbound book (hard cover)Clara Doty Bates et a
Fairy Land Tales Told Long Ago
No full textThis large-format book with cheap paper presents a potpourri of children's texts and illustration from various genres, with four full-color inserted pages of dressed up children not related to the texts. The black-and-white illustrations suffer throughout from being printed on poor paper. Late in the book we arrive at ten fables, with Hop o' My Thumb and Jack and Jill interspersed. They are generally identical to ten of the twelve fables found in Selections from Aesop's Fables (1884) published by Lothrop. Seven of the ten keep the prose texts that all had in Lothrop, but they do not simply repeat Lothrop's plates for those. The Larks and the Farmer includes a full-page illustration independent of--even foreign to?--the copious other illustrations for this fable here. It changes, for example, the number of young larks. The problem of congruence with story occurs in two inserted pages for TMCM. These three pages were not in the Lothrop edition. Otherwise the illustrations follow the texts well. One can identify the illustrators here most easily by looking at the Lothrop edition's T of C page. Bates amplifies and develops fables so that they occupy five or six pages each. Thus young ants sing, go to school, and use wheelbarrows. The best of the texts may be FS. The most famous illustrator here is Childe Hassam for TMCM. In this version, the country mouse wants to join the town dance in progress!This is a hardbound book (hard cover)Mrs. Clara Doty Bates et a

Childe Hassam and impressionism in America
No full textImpressionismus als Stil der zweiten Hälfte des 19. Jahrhunderts wird in erster Linie mit dessen bekannten französischen Vertretern in Verbindung gebracht. Dieses Verständnis blickt allzu oft über die internationale Strahlkraft dieser ?neuen Malerei? hinweg, die in ihren kräftigen Farben und neuartigen Sujets mit vorangegangenen Epochen brach. Paris als Ausbildungsstadt, die junge Maler aus aller Welt anzog, war der ideale Nährboden, auf dem das impressionistische Saatgut keimen und folglich in den Heimatländern der der Künstler erblühen konnte. Unter den Amerikanern, die sich nach 1880 in Paris aufhielten war es Hassam, der sich um die Etablierung des Stils in den U.S.A. besonders verdient gemacht hat und am konsequentesten die Ideale des französischen Impressionismus in amerikanische Themen übersetzte. Die Diplomarbeit wird sich in ihrem Fokus auf das Schaffen Hassams um eine Erörterung der Entwicklung des amerikanischen Impressionismus bemühen. Dabei wird dieser ausgehend von den Ursprüngen in Hudson River School und Tonalismus, über die Erfahrungen amerikanischer Künstler in Paris hin zur Ausformung eines am französischen Vorbild angelehnten, aber durch amerikanische Attribute gekennzeichneten Stils begleitet. Im Vergleich mit Vertretern des französischen Impressionismus wird versucht zu ergründen, ob sich ein spezifisch amerikanischer Charakter in der impressionistischen Malerei herausgebildet hat und inwieweit dabei andere Schwerpunkte gesetzt wurden. Neben Hassam werden auch Arbeiten anderer dem amerikanischen Impressionismus zugerechneter Künstler eingeschlossen.Durch die späte Blütezeit des amerikanischen Impressionismus an der Jahrhundertwende soll der Einfluss post-impressionistischer und früher moderner Strömungen auf die Arbeit von Childe Hassam und seine Kollegen erörtert werden. Abschließend soll untersucht werden, wie der amerikanische Impressionismus auf nachfolgende Stile einwirkte.Impressionism as a revolutionary style of the second half of the 19th century is primarily associated with its renowned French proponents. This understanding too often overlooks the international impact of this ?new way of painting? with its bright colors and innovative subjects breaking with the habits of preceding epochs. Paris, a city of artistic education, attracting painters from all over the world provided fertile soil in which the seeds of Impressionism could sprout and eventually bloom in the artists? native countries. Among the numerous Americans residing in Paris during the 1880ies, Childe Hassam was extraordinarily engaged in establishing the style back home and it was him who proved to be most consequent in adopting the principles of French Impressionism and translating them into American subjects. In its main focus on Hassam?s work this thesis is trying to define the development of American Impressionism. From its origins in the art of the Hudson River School and Tonalism it shall be traced during the experiences of American painters in Paris leading to the creation of an Impressionism founded on the art of the French precursors and marked by American attributes.The comparison between French and American representatives will try to outline a specific American character in impressionist art and investigate to what extent different emphasis has been set in terms of style and content. Besides Childe Hassam also the works of other American artists affiliated with Impressionism will be included.Due to the belated heyday of American Impressionism at the turn of the century it is intended to analyze the influence of post-impressionist and early modernist movements on the work Childe Hassam and his colleagues. Finally it shall be peripherally investigated which marks the work of Childe Hassam and that of his fellow Impressionists left on the succeeding generation of early modernist American artists.vorgelegt von Arno MitterdorferAbweichender Titel laut Übersetzung der Verfasserin/des VerfassersGraz, Univ., Dipl.-Arb., 2012Zsfassung in dt. und engl.

Jack and Jill
No full textThis book represents a great find on a lightning shopping visit over the lunch break of a Jesuit meeting. The book is in terrible condition, with virtually no spine left at all and all the pages loose. This curious book can best be understood as a combination of material found in my 1885? Lupton Fairy Land Tales Told Long Ago and my 1884 Lothrop Selections from Aesop's Fables. Part of the book's strangeness is that Jack and Jill (found in Lupton) is the only non-fable in the whole book! I am very lucky to have found the book! After that story comes first a full page illustration of a fable not presented here ( In the Cat's Court of Appeals ) signed by M. Stephens (?). Then come five presentations of Aesopic fables in verse by Clara Doty Bates, all found in Lothrop. The first and last are illustrated by Edmund H. Garrett, while Childe Hassam did TMCM. TMCM adds one page (the second) out of the two pages of panels added to TMCM in Lupton, with the numbers of the panels (7-12) now removed. I will leave it to the reader to judge how much sense these six pictures make as they appear suddenly on their own--probably as much sense as a picture of a cat judge ready to eat both litigants (a bunny and a weasel) next to a fable about how a monkey cheats two cat litigants. Pick up a rock and you will find something underneath it!This is a hardbound book (hard cover)Clara Doty Bate
Complicated submissions : sati and subversion in three women’s novels of the Raj AND Appledore in bloom: Thaxter, Hassam, and a flowering of art
Get PDFWhat can literary studies tell us about the Hindu custom of sati? The nineteenth century fiction of Flora Annie Steel, Maud Diver, and Krupabai Sattianadhan, written contemporaneously with the gendered norms it portrays, provides a representation of the patriarchal dynamic between Hindu men and women that might be implicated in the extreme act of widow self-immolation. This study examines a novel by each woman author, Steel’s On the Face of the Waters, Diver’s Lilimani, and Satthianadhan’s Kamala to uncover extant cultural expectations and behaviors that contributed to the acceptance of the practice of sati and to its mediated resistance and subversion. AND The North Atlantic island of Appledore in the Isles of Shoals inspired American artists Celia Thaxter and Childe Hassam to prolific creation before and after the turn of the twentieth century. This paper argues that the island acted as their muse and is an archive of their experience. Celia Laighton Thaxter and Childe Hassam, author/gardener and Impressionist painter, respectively, spent many summers on the small island over the course of decades, Thaxter hosting an arts salon and Hassam joining her and a cadre of America’s creative elite in exclusive community. Thaxter produced poetry, prose, journalism, and children’s stories as she annually cultivated an ornamental flower garden; Hassam painted Thaxter’s garden and the contours of the island’s coastline in oil, watercolor, and pastel. The pair collaborated on Thaxter’s literary production, and Hassam went on to document the topography and geology of the island for years after Thaxter’s death, creating a collection of Impressionist works that showcase Appledore’s rocky natural beauty. Together, in words and images, they created a record of Appledore that made it an archival place. A replica of Thaxter’s original garden is maintained today and can be visited courtesy The University of New Hampshire’s Shoals Marine Laboratory and its collaboration with Cornell University
An analytical and experimental investigation into the bending theory of elastic conoidal shells
No full textFrom archives to museum and back: transcribing, digitizing, and enriching cultural heritage and manuscript legacy data of the Villa del Casale of Piazza Armerina
Get PDFLegacy data from archaeological sites with long excavation histories present both challenges and opportunities for modern research. Such data - ranging from handwritten notes, excavation diaries, and photographs to artefacts and related inventories - often predate contemporary recording standards, yet they can hold invaluable information about archaeological sites that did not make it into the publication record. This research situates itself within the broader theoretical framework of “archive archaeology,” in the context of a digitization project at the Villa del Casale. Using existing AI technologies such as Transkribus and the Handwriting Analysis Tool, the project approaches archives not only as repositories of information but also as subjects of study. It explores the potential of these advanced digital technologies to transcribe and interpret unpublished handwritten legacy data - specifically, archival materials related to earlier excavations at the Villa del Casale in Piazza Armerina - in order to contribute to the broader analysis and understanding of legacy data and handwritten field notes. Additionally, the project discusses the creation of a Villa del Casale's digital ecosystem to enhance the dissemination, accessibility, and reuse of both primary and secondary research data through the use of the open-source web publishing platform Omeka Classic, designed for the creation and management of digital collections and exhibits. The approach taken in this research seeks to integrate different up-to-date digital technologies to bridge the gap between historical archives, archaeological legacy data, and contemporary archaeological inquiry
