Four-star boutique Hotel Justus is located in the very of the old town of Riga, literally a few steps away from the famous Dome cathedral, within the architectural area protected by UNESCO as a part of world heritage. The immaculate renovation of the historical building was completed by April 2009, and so today the authentic facade conceals 45 cosy rooms uniquely designed to embrace the charm of genuine brickwork combined with fascinating art objects, antique as well as contemporary. Personalised service matched with attractive pricing policy makes Hotel Justus of great interest for a wide range of guests. The hotel’s site possesses high historical value, since it was part of the plot of land selected by Bishop Albert as the location for his Baltic residence back in 1210. However, the medieval wooden housing was destroyed by the fire in the 17th century, so the architectural ensemble comprising Jauniela Street today dates back to the 18th century. The facade of the hotel itself underwent the last major alteration in 1874. The building hosted a tavern in the early 19th century that was later replaced by typography and lithography services, in the 20th century it was occupied by artisan workshops, pharmaceutical laboratories, and then a cinema gallery and offices. Charms of architecture and historical atmosphere made this place a favourite shooting spot of Soviet movie-makers. Now the hotel belongs to a small group of friends that has spotted an empty run-down building and revived it with artistic energy.Idea of making restaurant Aleks comes from the simple desire to enjoy Riga of the beginning of the previous century. Interior is made from the household items of those times, which gives the restaurant unique look

“Life is not a matter of holding good cards, but of playing a poor hand well.” - Jack London (American novelist, journalist and activist)
The theme for "Looking Close on Friday" for the 14th of February is "hearts in focus", in hour of Saint Valentine’s Day, and who better to promote the day than the Queen of Hearts? These beautiful court figures from the whist playing cards of the ‘Mittelalter No.150’ deck were made in Germany by the card firm B. Dondorf in 1873. The deck, which is in immaculate condition, features beautiful, chromolithographed images of people dressed richly in stylised late medieval costumes. I have put them against one of my Grandfather’s hand made marquetry chessboards. I hope you like my choice for this week’s theme, and that it makes you smile! Happy Saint Valentine’s Day!
The firm of B. Dondorf was founded in April 1833 by the lithographer Bernard Dondorf, who headed the company until July 1872. In that year, Dondorf's sons Carl and Paul, as well as his son in law Jacob Fries, assumed control of the firm which continued to operate under the original trademark. Jacob Fries left the firm in the early part of 1890. From the beginning, the company specialised in all branches of lithography. In cooperation with the printing firm of C. Naumann, Dondorf also printed paper bank notes for the Italian National Bank and for the Imperial Japanese Government. In 1871, the firm moved within Frankfurt from the Saalgasse to a new and larger factory site in the Bockenheimer Landstrasse 136. The steady growth of the company required the building of still additional subdivisions in 1890 and 1895. Principal products of the firm were playing cards, various games, greeting and post cards and various religious prints. The export of playing cards at Dondorf's accounted for much of the firm's business. The Scandinavian countries of Denmark, Norway and Sweden in the period before World War I, for example, imported nearly all of their playing cards from Dondorf. Similarly, the Dutch East Indies, now Indonesia were excellent customers. Bernard Dondorf, the founder died in his 94th year. He earned an enviable reputation as a lithographer, especially for his technique of etching the stone with a diamond stylus. His special methods of engraving bank notes were also unique. In 1929 the decision was reached to liquidate the firm.
The chessboard was made by my Grandfather, a skilful and creative man, in 1952. Two chess sets, a draughts set and three chess boards made by my Grandfather were bequeathed to me as part of his estate when he died.

This extraordinary funerary monument dates from the Renaissance (around 1511) and would be the work of Mansuy Gauvain, sculptor at the court of Bar and Lorraine at the beginning of the 16th century. It originally housed at its base the sculpted tomb of the Duke, represented kneeling before the Virgin.
Vandals unfortunately destroyed the lower part of the tomb and its magnificent statues during the french Revolution. You can get an idea of this masterpiece as it was at the beginning on the left side image taken from an 18th century lithography (source: Nancy libraries, P-FG-ES-00266). The photo on the right side shows the monument nowadays : only the upper part of the tomb remains, called the enfeu.

Le monument funéraire du duc René II
Ce monument funéraire extraordinaire date de la Renaissance (vers 1511) et serait l’œuvre de Mansuy Gauvain, sculpteur à la cour de Bar et de Lorraine au début du XVIe siècle. Il abritait à l'origine à sa base le tombeau sculpté du duc, représenté agenouillé devant la Vierge.
Des vandales ont malheureusement détruit durant la Révolution la partie basse du tombeau et ses magnifiques statues. Vous pouvez vous faire une idée de ce chef d'oeuvre tel qu'il était à l'origine sur l'image de gauche tirée d'une lithographie du 18ème siècle (source : bibliothèques de Nancy, P-FG-ES-00266). La photo de droite montre le monument de nos jours : il ne reste que la partie supérieure du tombeau, appelée l'enfeu.

Catlett once said that the purpose of her work was to “present black people in their beauty and dignity for ourselves and others to understand and enjoy.” Sharecropper calls attention to the tribulations of tenant farming—a system in which rent for the land is paid by the farmer with a part of the crop, creating an impossible-to-escape cycle of debt—while also offering a heroic portrait of an anonymous woman.
As a sculptor and printmaker, Catlett blended figurative and abstract traditions with social concerns and maintained a deep belief in the democratic power of printed art to reach a large audience. Her printmaking practice included woodcut, screenprint, lithography, and, most importantly, linoleum cut, which she learned at the Taller de Gráfica Popular (People’s Graphic Workshop) in Mexico City. Founded in 1937, the workshop aimed to continue the Mexican tradition of socially engaged public art. It specialized in linoleum cut, a technique that produces inexpensive prints and can accommodate large editions. Catlett first visited this renowned workshop and artists’ collective while she was in Mexico on a fellowship in 1946, where she found a kinship with the Mexican muralists, including Diego Rivera and José Clemente Orozco. Like them she tried, she explained, to make art “for the people, for the struggling people, to whom only realism is meaningful.”
Made by the jewellers W. Wright Ltd (est. 1848), this button is part of a set of six of what are known as “Bachelor Buttons”. Bachelor Buttons usually featured ladies in some form, either allegorical figures, or (as in this case) real women. Made circa 1905, this waistcoat button features the famous Edwardian actress Camille Clifford (1885 - 1971). Each button was made by taking a lithograph of a photograph of the actress, painting it my hand, and once dry then coating the image in celluloid to protect the image. The protected image was then inserted into a 9 carat gold frame and backing. It is placed against a bolt of figured pink and blue satin.
The theme for “Looking Close on Friday” for the 12th of November is “buttons”. This was an easy theme for me, as I collect antique, vintage and interesting buttons. The only difficulty for me was choosing which one I wanted to feature. Originally I was going to do a collage of buttons, but then I decided to focus just on this one very special bachelor button from my set of six. I hope that you like my choice, and that it makes you smile!
