As it existing in three separate countries with a common spirit and tradition; Ireland, Wales, and Brittany, is brilliantly revealed in these exciting epic chronicles with 120 evocative photographs of artifacts, manuscripts, and landscapes that bring the Celtic world to life as never before. Ireland, land of ancient warriors who value nothing higher than fame and courage as they battle magical forces pitted against them. Ancient warriors whose deeds are as noble and mysterious as the hill forts and standing stones scattered around the landscape. Ancient warriors whose love of exaggeration and boasting compare with the most extravagant blarney. These are the Celts revealed by the early Irish chronicles. Wales. A land of bands and druids hemmed into a beautiful, mountainous country where King Arthur roamed with his knights. The Welsh warriors saw themselves as defenders of the west, heroes who would one day hurl the foreign oppressors back into the sea. These dramatic chronicles date back to the Middle Ages, but they are truly much older than that. They tell of love and betrayal, of quests and challenges, of supernatural creatures and of murder. Battling dragons. Tyrants, and sorcerers, the warriors of Brittany were people of the sea. Hermits, missionaries, mystics, they passed down their tales of mystery and magic orally through the centuries. They are captured here from a time when the old pagan days were dying out, and the secret, supernatural skeins of the early mystical Celts were quickly attaching themselves to a new religion.

LONDON FURNITURE MAKERS & THEIR ENGRAVED TRADE CARDS - 17th 18th 19th CENTURY
The London Furniture Makers. From the Restoration to the Victorian Era, 1660-1840” By Sir Ambrose Heal. Published in London by B.T. Batsford in 1953. description continues below the picture- DISCUSSION: This book was the result of thirty years of research. And includes the names, dates and addresses of 2,500 London cabinetmakers and cabinetmaking firms. There are also illustrations of many of their dramatic and beautiful engraved trade cards. An important reference work. Sir Ambrose Heal[1872-1959] was an English furniture designer and businessman. Heal was the great-grandson of John Harris Heal. The founder of the Heals furniture manufacturing and retail business. He served a two-year apprenticeship to a cabinetmaker in Warwick and six months working for Graham and Biddle, furnishers, of Oxford Street. In the mid-1890s he began designing ... moresimple, sturdy furniture, often in plain oak(in contrast to Heals' standard"Queen Anne" and"Old English" styles) Although initially his designs were not popular with sales staff, who called them"prison furniture" they found a place at exhibitions of the Arts and Crafts Exhibition Society and soon became so successful that prejudices were overcome. Undoubtedly influenced by the teachings of Ruskin and William Morris, he embraced the use of machinery where appropriate. In 1913, on the death of his father, he was elected chairman of Heals, using this position to champion artistic design within furniture manufacture and marketing. In 1933. He was knighted for raising standards of design, and in 1939 was appointed a royal designer for industry. He established an art gallery at the Tottenham Court Road premises showing works by Picasso, Wyndham Lewis and Modigliani. Artists such as Claud Lovat Fraser designed the company's posters, and its catalogues contained essays by influential art critics. The overall effect was to promote Heals as an iconic brand. Heal's influence over the company diminished in the mid-1930s, when one of his sons became

Brainard was very active in his community and in 1920 he was elected Mayor of Hartford. Later, he served on the Board of Park Commissioners. He was an ardent supporter for the erection of a municipal airport and, as such, Brainard Field was named in honor of him and dedicated in 1921. Brainard was also instrumental in saving the Hartford State House and, in part due to his position as Chairman of Hartford’s Fine Arts Commission, oversaw that the building was kept in repair and personally saw to it that the Senate Chamber was refurnished. According to the Society’s Annual Report of 1965, His interests were varied and many, and his friendship for and generosity to this Society were unparalleled” DESCRIPTION: Softcover. 7"x9.5" 67 pages, each chair illustrated with a black& white plate.
