According to artic.edu/aic: "The Londonderry Vase was one of the most ambitious undertakings of the imperial porcelain manufactory at Sèvres. With its commanding contours, monumental size, symmetrical decorations, and unabashed splendor, the vase is a superb example of the Empire style, inspired by Roman imperial art. Designed while Napoleon was emperor by his chief architect Charles Percier but produced after the Restoration, it was presented by Louis XVIII to the second marquess of Londonderry on the eve of the 1814 Congress of Vienna."

First National Bank of Topeka
1932
The First National Bank of Topeka opened it newest building on June 5, 1932. It was the only example of an Art Deco skyscraper in Topeka.
In these pictures of opening day, you can see many Art Deco details. Look at the tops of the windows to see the ziggurat pattern popular during this time. The hand railing on the second floor and the clerestory have a repetitive geometric pattern of chevrons. The use of many different construction materials such as glass, marble, metal, and wood was also characteristic of the Art Deco style.
The 1932 building was imploded in 1996. Some of the
wonderful Art Deco architectural details were saved. You can find some of the details here in the Library. The decorative bronze panels outside of the Millennium Café were from the building’s elevators and the light fixtures over the Library’s dock were from the exterior of the First National Bank.

Abstraction: Cityscape
Piet Mondrian
Composition, 1939
Serigraph
TSCPL Permanent Collection, 1963.638
In past times when one lived in contact with nature, abstraction was easy; it was done unconsciously. Now in our denaturalized age abstraction becomes an effort.
— Piet Mondrian, painter and printmaker
How can you tell that each of these prints are part of a city?
Can you find the buildings and roads?
Are you flying overhead or walking down the street?
In October 2010 the MoA (Museum of Art Seoul National University) in Korea acquired FF Scala for its permanent collection, the ‘Design and Crafts’ collection. It was the first time the museum made an aquisition of a typeface.
The exhibition ‘MoA Invites 2011’ took place from 19 January 2011 untill 2 February 2011, showing all new aquisitions of last year, including FF Scala. One of the nice things is that the museum actually uses FF Scala in its printed matter: the english text in the catalogue is set in it.

True as Earth, Strong as Water, 2011
Paper, silkscreen, etching
Edition of 26; Relay Replay Press, Portland, OR
TSCPL Permanent Collection
Through her Relay Replay Press, Shu-Ju Wang works with seniors with dementia to create artist’s books that illuminate the creative lives of the elderly. Shu-Ju has captured this life through etchings, handmade paper, and a few words.
This is the story of Arnold E. Metz, who grew up on a farm in South Dakota and served during World War II on the USS President Hayes. He completed his education after the war, graduating from Northern State University (Aberdeen, South Dakota), and had a long educational career in Michigan and South Dakota.
All 4 aspects of this exhibit are embodied in this one book:
The text tells the story of Mr. Metz’s life. The images, whether photographs or geometric designs, depict different stages of his life and give a visual form to his favorite song, San Antonio Rose.
The accordion book structure allows the book to unfold, revealing different stages of Mr. Metz’s life.
The materials tell the story of his travels from the Midwest to the Pacific Ocean. Each sheet of colored paper is made from materials found in the various places he’s lived. The first sheet of brown paper contains soil from the South Dakota farm that Mr. Metz was born and raised on. The blue paper contains water from the Pacific Ocean. The green-blue paper contains water from the Columbia River. The gray-blue paper contains water from the Willamette River, and the last brown paper contains soil from his Oregon farm.

Oil on canvas
Gift of the Library Foundation
2009.15
This painting has so many connections to Topeka. The artist grew up in Topeka and his mother, Mary Hatke, volunteered in the Topeka Room and at the Veterans’ Administration. In the oval portrait is Mary’s mother. Walter’s Aunt Ora McMillen, to whom this room belonged, taught at Topeka High School for 38 years. Uncle Delbert McMillen, the man in the portrait on the dresser, was a librarian at the Mabee Library at Washburn University. Both of Walter’s sons, George and Graham, helped paint the canvas. All Topekans, and all part of our history and community.
The Library Foundation’s generous gift allowed us to purchase it from the Columbia Bank auction and keep it in Topeka.

Give Me Your Tired, Your Poor" artwork by Andrew Kong Knight.

Artwork Review:
"At this juncture, Proposition 187 reemerges through a focus on Liberty. At the San Jose Center for Latino Arts, el Movimiento de Arte y Cultura Latino Americana, Inc. (Movement of Latin American Art and Culture/ MACLA) mounted a juried exhibition entitled "Artists Respond to Proposition 187." Running from June 7 through July 15, 1995, the show featured twenty-five selected individual artists, one artists' group, and one guest artist. In their "Curatorial Statement," the Curatorial Committee states that "the artists have reacted to this event in our political history with anger, outrage, cynicism, sorrow, compassion and defiance."
Artist Andrew Kong Knight brings all of the sentiments the curators identify. His uncompromising print, "Give Me Your Tired, Your Poor" (1994). incorporates within a caption these compassionate titular words from Lazarus's poem, "The New Colossus." Printed more conspicuously are two declarative, exhortative statements: "DEPORT KING WILSON / VOTE No 187." Governor Wilson, wearing royal ermine and crowned like a king or Lady Liberty, manipulates the victims of 187 as if they're pawns in a chess game being played on a game board over which the caption is superimposed. Appropriately, two strands of barbed wire and something resembling a curved blade appears overhead, almost mimicking the threat of a guillotine. Nothing approaching Enrique Chagoya's "hidden transcript" would seem iconographically or semiotically probable in such an explicit and overt context."

Gown #11 From the 1490s
Item #11 = 1490s - Wedding Tunic
Made of silk fabric and silk cording, the tunic woud have had a longer skirt under the top. Empire waist with a'la' mamelouk gathered sleves and van Dyke point embelleshments near the hem. This gown was made in Germany and was part of the Arizona Jewish pioneer Cerf family. Originally thought to be from the united States in the 1700s, the gown has recently been restored and dated by The National Textile Workshop. The green color on the dress is the salvage dye common to the 1400s in Germany and becomes more visible with age.
Brown spots on the fron tof the gown are caused by the age of the fbric and human hands touching the fabric, leaving a residue of oil that eventually will rot the threads if not preserved. There is no known technique to remove the stain.

24/150: Radges’ Topeka Directory, 1882. Samuel Radges published city directories with advertisements and cross-referenced addresses. In many years, both the residents and the addresses are cross-referenced, so one can find who lived at an address. In 1882, Radges put asterisks (*) by the names of prostitutes. When the city fathers told him he couldn’t do that, he agreed not to put asterisks by their names. The next year, he used plusses (+). The Topeka Room has a collection of directories dating back to 1870.
