Born in a Normandy noble family, French origin Théodose Achille Louis Vicomte du Moncel (1821-1884) was born in Paris. Apart from being a talented illustrator and engraver, he was known primarily as an expert in electrical science and mathematics. At a young age (1844), he made a trip in Greece, drawing ancient sites, monuments and cities with great ease. Starting from Venice in November 1843, his journey continues to Istanbul after Greece; On the way back, he stops in Malta, Messina and Naples.
Perfectly large stone engravings covering the whole route of his journey are published in an expensive album; In a different publication, 18 wooden engravings were collected from a land trip from Athens to Nafplion, and 14 stone engravings showing themes from Athens in a separate publication in guinea. The engravings, all drawn by Du Moncel himself, are accompanied by explanatory texts and descriptions of appearances; The human images, which decorate the subjects as pleasant decorative details, were performed by another artist in almost all of the engravings. He displays his paintings on his eastern journey regularly at Du Moncel Paris at annual Hall fairs (1846-1851) and sells to meet his material needs.
Since 1846, he worked as an electrical engineer in a government department, wrote research and articles on electrical science, a member of the Academy of Sciences, one of the founding members of the Société Nationale des Sciences Naturelles et Μathématiques de Cherbourg, and an officer with the Legion d 'Honneur engagement.
Du Moncel is a representative of the last trend of European artists who are eager to recognize the ruins of the ancient universe on site. It completes the visual themes and travel notes of the contemporary reality journeys in the places it travels with a more pleasant detail and with negative comments; The memory of recent historical events, if not reflected in the patterns, is at least marked by explanatory texts.
Du Moncel proves his own observations of the monuments, also by referring to ancient Greek literature works and texts of older trusted travelers (R. Chandler, J. Stuart, N. Revett, FCHL Pouqueville, Ch. Wordworth, Expédition Scientifique de Morée). However, as Du Moncel derives from the Restoration Period of France, its commitment to the European model, which is hostile to all the ideas of liberalism, contributes to the negative perception of contemporary Greek reality. The fact that the journey is full of disabilities, the strangeness and unusualness of the environment, and the way of living differently are interpreted negatively and ironically. Despite this, the patterns he draws clearly make monuments that are in perfect harmony with the natural environment.

Origin: United States. Circa: 1870. Period: 19th Century. The partnership of Buff and Berger was formed in 1870 in Boston and dissolved in October 1898. Each opened their own shop. One of America's finest nineteenth century inventions, the American Transiting Theodolite, more commonly called the Transit, was first built by George Louis Buff (1837-1923) shortly after the end of the Civil War. Theodolites had been in use in Europe for many years but George Buff significantly improved the accuracy of the instrument by adding a transiting telescope, a central compass, double horizontal verniers and a vertical vernier. The end result was the creation of the world's most precise surveying and engineering instrument which remained unchallenged until the advent of digital technology in the 1970's. Shop@ The HighBoy.
A l'origine, un milieu naturel à préserver. Dans les années soixante-dix, à 15 km au Sud de Narbonne, en bordure des étangs de Bages-Sigean, à l'embouchure de la rivière la Berre et autour d'une zone d'anciens salins reconvertis en un vaste étang appelé l'Œil de Ca, des zones de garrigues où viennent parfois s'intercaler quelques vignes, représentaient un ensemble naturel non urbanisé, riche sur le plan faunistique et floristique et qu'il s'agissait de préserver.
L'aménagement du littoral, donna en 1972 son autorisation pour la réalisation d'un parc animalier unique de par sa taille, original quant à ses protocoles d'élevage extensif, bien intégré dans le milieu naturel et capable de contribuer à sa protection tout en développant une activité de conservation d'espèces animales essentiellement africaines.
Créée à l'initiative de Paul de La Panouse et de Daniel de Monfreid, la Réserve Africaine de Sigean ouvre
au public le 8 avril 1974.
What a beautiful evening teaching the origins of Bhangra and some dance moves. Opportunity to experience nature and story though cinema, visual Sences and touch. Darnall Allotment Project we’re juicing apples and pears- delicious and the fish heads were amazing musicians. Culminated in a parade, an amazing meal and watching the 100th light come in along the canal at Victoria Quays. Just beautiful.

The Light Tree Celebrations is a festival held in honour of a strange and magnificent tree that once grew on the Sheffield Canal. Maybe the existence of the tree is just a rumour, or the fever dream of an old boat-builder, or maybe it was really there. Whatever the truth is, we’re celebrating. Prepare to be pleasantly dazzled.
This celebration event marks the end of a three year project, led by The Bare Project and commissioned by the Canal and River Trust. The Bare Project have led creative arts, food, and permaculture activities, working with communities in Darnall, Attercliffe, Tinsley and the Wicker – neighbourhoods which sit alongside the Sheffield-Tinsley canal. The national project is called Into The Hinterlands, a national arts programme delivered by the Canal and River Trust in collaboration with regional partners, promoting wellbeing and connecting communities, with participatory events along three remote rural, urban and suburban waterways: Pontymoile, Sheffield and Enfield & Tottenham.
This project has also received support from The Talbot Trusts, the Darnall Area Trust Fund and Arts Council England.

Origin: Italy. Circa: 1890. Period: 19th Century. Venetian Mirror, Murano, Italy c. 1890. This elegant example of the Venetian art of mirror and glass making showcases the various aspects that have made these mirrors objects of desire for hundreds of years. Please use the zoom feature offered on our website to enlarge the additional photographs in order to see the components that create this beautiful mirror. As a bit of history the inventive skill of Venetian glass and mirror makers lay in their understanding of how to take the technical limitations of their time and use them to highly decorative advantage. When mirrors were first invented and able to be made in an ongoing manner the entire industry was removed from Venice proper to the isolated island of Murano to limit the danger to the city if a fire was to break out. Until the later eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries large sheets of mirror glass were not able to be made with any great quality control so large and grand mirrors were assembled from smaller pieces and built up within frames that could support a multitude of separate pieces of mirror glass.

Kalevala tells that earth was born from duck's eggs that got broken. "From the white part come the moonbeams,
From the yellow part the sunshine..." etc.
Part from The Kalevala's Rune I.
"...While her knee with fire is kindled,
And her shoulders too are burning,
Fire in every vein is coursing.
Quick the maiden moves her shoulders,
Shakes her members in succession,
Shakes the nest from its foundation,
And the eggs fall into ocean,
Dash in pieces on the bottom
Of the deep and boundless waters.
In the sand they do not perish,
Not the pieces in the ocean;
But transformed, in wondrous beauty
All the fragments come together..."

Les origines de l'église Saint-Eustache remontent au début du xiiie siècle. Une chapelle consacrée à sainte Agnès fut le premier édifice construit. Une crypte portant ce nom jouxte encore l'église côté oriental. Cette chapelle serait le don d'un bourgeois de Paris, Jean Alais, qui l'aurait fait bâtir en remerciement du droit que le roi Philippe Auguste lui avait octroyé de prélever un denier sur chaque panier de poisson qui arrivait aux Halles.
Dès 1223, Sainte-Agnès fut érigée en paroisse et prit le nom de Saint-Eustache. La raison la plus probable de la nouvelle appellation serait le transfert d'une relique du martyr saint Eustache dans la nouvelle église, relique jusqu'alors détenue par l'abbaye de Saint-Denis. L'église fut plusieurs fois remaniée et agrandie au fur et à mesure de l'accroissement de la population du quartier.
Au xive siècle, le roi Philippe VI conservait sa protection royale, notamment pour les confréries de la Madeleine qui y assuraient la messe. Juste avant sa mort, en août 1483, Louis XI la confirma par lettres patentes.
En 1532, il fut enfin décidé de construire une église digne du cœur de Paris. La première pierre de l'édifice actuel fut posée le 19 août par Jean de la Barre, prévôt des marchands. Les travaux furent successivement confiés à Boccador, Nicolas Le Mercier et Charles David, gendre du précédent. Bâtie dans un style gothique en pleine Renaissance, l'église dégage un caractère architectural harmonieux où l'antique des colonnes grecques et romaines côtoie les lignes encore présentes du Moyen Âge. L'objectif était de faire du gothique avec du plein-cintre. Ainsi, l'église a l'élévation du style gothique, les courbures du roman et les ornements de la Renaissance ; tous ces caractères réunis donnent à l'édifice un caractère unique.
Sa construction fut ralentie par de fréquentes difficultés de financement. René Benoist, curé de l'église Saint-Eustache en 1569, acquit une telle influence sur les paroissiens qu'il fut surnommé le « Pape des Halles ». En 1578, il fit imprimer une requête afin d'obtenir des secours pour l'achèvement de son église. Commencée en 1532, elle n'avait pu être terminée, et Benoist lui-même n'avait pas encore entrepris de travaux, malgré la « plus grande affluence de peuple qu'en aucune église paroissiale de la France et par aventure de la chrétienté ». La lettre obtint sans doute quelque somme d'argent, car on construisit à cette époque plusieurs piliers de la nef et plusieurs autres fenêtres.
Après maintes interruptions, l'église fut terminée en 1633 et consacrée le 26 avril 1637 par monseigneur de Gondi, archevêque de Paris.
Charles de la Fosse fut chargé du décor de la chapelle des Mariages et peignit Adam et Ève, et Le Mariage de la Vierge (1667-1670). Ces œuvres étaient le pendant de celles de son rival Mignard dans la chapelle du Baptême. Ces peintures furent détruites lors de la construction du nouveau portail.

Wiper arm down. As you can see, it would have been impossible for any road debris to have caused this crack. They obviously let the arm slam down with the blade removed. Initially the crack wasn't visible from the driver's seat, but by the time I got home it had spread across the windshield. The dealership disclaimed any responsibility.
