Bonnie Prince Charlie and the Making of a Myth
This study traces how the enduring visual image of Prince Charles Edward Stuart was created, beginning with his birth in 1720 and ending with the exhibition of John Pettie's Prince Charles Edward Stuart Entering the Ballroom at Holyrood - probably still the most enduring and popular image of the Stuart prince - at the Royal Academy in 1892."--BOOK JACKET.
Stick to the Skin
The first comparative history of African American and Black British artists, artworks, and art movements, Stick to the Skin traces the lives and works of over fifty painters, photographers, sculptors, and mixed-media, assemblage, installation, video, and performance artists working in the United States and Britain from 1965 to 2015. The artists featured in this book cut to the heart of hidden histories, untold narratives, and missing memories to tell stories that "stick to the skin" and arrive at a new "Black lexicon of liberation." Informed by extensive research and invaluable oral testimonies, Celeste-Marie Bernier’s remarkable text forcibly asserts the originality and importance of Blac...
Applied Arts in British Exile from 1933
Yearbook Volume 19 continues an investigation which began with Arts in Exile in Britain 1933-45 (Volume 6, 2004). Twelve chapters, ten in English and two in German, address and analyse the significant contribution of émigrés across the applied arts, embracing mainstream practices such as photography, architecture, advertising, graphics, printing, textiles and illustration, alongside less well known fields of animation, typography and puppetry. New research adds to narratives surrounding familiar émigré names such as Oskar Kokoschka and Wolf Suschitzky, while revealing previously hidden contributions from lesser known practitioners. Overall, the volume provides a valuable addition to the understanding of the applied arts in Britain from the 1930s onwards, particularly highlighting difficulties faced by refugees attempting to continue fractured careers in a new homeland. Contributors are: Rachel Dickson, Burcu Dogramaci, Deirdre Fernand, Fran Lloyd, David Low, John March, Sarah MacDougall, Anna Nyburg, Pauline Paucker, Ines Schlenker, Wilfried Weinke, and Julia Winckler.

Portobello Voices
Portobello Market has been going since 1860. It boasts the largest antiques street market in the world, is a source of inspiration for fashion designers, song writers and film directors, receives over a million visitors a year... and is at risk. In Portobello Voices, Blanche Girouard introduces us to the intoxicating mix of characters that make the market buzz - from the antique dealer to rubbish collector, sausage seller to fur coat vendor, Afghan battery seller to public school entrepreneur. Listening to their stories, learn how to spot a fake, store a fur and make a tin pan; find out what lies behind an obsession with collecting, a passion for buttons and the gusset in boxer shorts and hear how experiences of loss, abandonment and estrangement lead to a life as a market trader. Read the book, rediscover the market and become part of the solution to preserving the wonder that is Portobello.
Predikant en toerist
Op 19 februari 1674 maakte het Verdrag van Westminster een eind aan de Derde Engelse Oorlog. Drie maanden later reisde de ambassade af die namens de Republiek verdere onderhandelingen ging voeren met de Engelse koning Charles II. In dit gezelschap bevond zich ook de bekende dominee en dichter Joannes Vollenhove (1631-1708). Tijdens zijn verblijf in Engeland hield Vollenhove een 'journael' bij als geheugensteun voor na zijn terugkeer. Zijn preken en gedichten tonen Vollenhove als een wat afstandelijke, erudiete, formele man, maar in dit dagboek komen ook andere kanten van zijn persoonlijkheid naar voren. Hij worstelt met het Engels, reikhalst naar post van 'thuis' en geniet van toeristische attracties en van andere culturele geneugten die Londen, Westminster, Windsor en hun omgeving hem bieden, zoals schilderijen en andere beeldende kunst, fraaie tuinen en mooie muziek tijdens een kerkelijke plechtigheid. De inleiding bij deze editie geeft een beknopt overzicht van leven en werk van Vollenhove en beschrijft de achtergronden van zijn reis. De tekst zelf is voorzien van een uitvoerig notenapparaat.
