The Story of Victorian Film
"This groundbreaking book tells the fascinating story of the very beginnings of film in Britain, from the earliest non-fiction footage of delicate spider webs, rolling waves, bustling streets and parades to fantastical fiction films and magic lantern-style adaptations of books and fairytales that give us a glimpse into the Victorian imagination. Drawing on unique material held in the BFI Archive, Bryony Dixon provides in-depth insights into major filmmakers such as the Lumir̈e Brothers and Mitchell and Kenyon as well as key works like Pelicans at the Zoo (1898) and Kitty Mahone (1900) - a rare example of an early sound film. She traces the invention, business, aesthetics and impact of the brand new medium of film from 1895 to 1901. From 'actual' news footage of the Boer War (shot in Lancashire) to risqu ̌'scn̈es grivoises ' (saucy scenes) including nudity and suggestive scenarios, the films explored in this book challenge any preconceptions we might have about early film, demonstrating its breadth and boldness - as well bringing Victorian people and society vividly to life. The book is richly illustrated and beautifully designed to bring the subject to life.".
Medieval Ivory Carvings
"The Victoria and Albert Museum's collection of ivory carvings from c. 1200-1550 is one of the most important in the world. Containing 289 entries, this book is the first catalog of the material to be published since 1929. Together with Medieval Ivory Carvings: Early Christian to Romanesque, it makes available more than 400 pieces of the ivory carver's art. Included here are masterpieces and representative examples from many of the vital centers of ivory carving in the Gothic era. Each entry provides a comprehensive physical and scholarly discussion, synthesizing the existing literature and including much new research. Also included are carvings of dubious authenticity, which are discussed as fully as the genuine pieces."--Provided by publisher.
