Notes: A 1868 catalog illustrated with photographs listing the books published by the Arundel Society during it's first twenty years. The Arundel Society was founded at London in 1849 and named after the Earl of Arundel, the famous collector of the Arundel Marbles and one of the first great English patrons and lovers of the arts. The society's purpose was to promote knowledge of the art works of the old Italian, Flemish, and other European masters. Much of the work of the society consisted of publishing chromolithographs of Italian art works, especially fresco paintings, of earlier centuries and raising public awareness for the preservation of these works. The society was discontinued in 1897.

This is a set of 6 items—the "Peruzzi Altarpiece" and the five individual panels. These images have a creative commons license, which you may freely use by linking to their respective pages. Please respect the photographer and his work.
Giotto (1266/1276-1337) is generally credited with being the first painter of the Italian Renaissance. He rejected the emotionless faces and the artificial elongated bodies depicted in Byzantine art. Into his figures he breathed distinct facial features and a sense of the natural body beneath their garments. The depictions are more human, more natural.
Giotto is best known for the Arena frescoes in the Scrovegni Chapel in Padua, which show the life of Christ and the life of the Virgin Mary.
The Peruzzi Altarpiece—The descriptive information at the North Carolina Museum of Art in Raleigh credits Giotto “and assistants” with this altarpiece, possibly for the Peruzzi family chapel in the church of S. Croce, Florence, Italy. Consisting of 5 panels (the total polyptych over 8 feet in length), the work is done in tempera and gold leaf and dates from about 700 years ago—circa 1310-1315. From left to right the figures are St. John the Evangelist, the Virgin Mary, Christ, St. John the Baptist, and St Francis of Assisi. It is one of the few complete altarpieces known by the Giotto workshop. It was a gift of the Samuel H. Kress Foundation (1960).

A descriptive booklet issued by trade organisation the Cement & Concrete Association detailing the construction of the Medway Bridge, the major prestressed concrete bridge that formed part of the 25 mile section of the M2 motorway that was part of the main route from London to the port of Dover and other north Kent destinations. The bridge has an overall length of 3,272 ft 6" with a central span of 500ft that sits 116ft above ODL and is approached by a western viaduct of 1,350ft and an eastern one of 797ft 6".
The consulting engineers and agents for the Ministry of Transport were Freeman, Fox & Partners and contractors, J.L. Keir Co. Ltd. and Christiani and Nielsen Ltd. The bridge was opened on 29 May 1963 by the then Minister of Transport, Ernest Marples. The central span was replaced and other works carried out in c.2000 as part of the construction of the second river bridge that carries the coastbound M2; the original bridge now acts as the Londonbound carriageway. In addition to the two road viaducts there is now also a third in the form of the HS1 railway viaduct that opened in 2003.

Plinthed narrow gauge rack locomotive at Catania Centrale station, Sicily (Italy), with collage of descriptive plaque.
Took a few photos at Catania Centrale station while waiting for our train to Rome (and homeward). This is a narrow gauge steam locomotive built in 1915, that once worked on a now-disused line (Ferrovia Dittaino-Piazza Armerina-Caltagirone) which served a central part of Sicily with connections to Catania. The actual plaque is to one side of the loco, out of sight on the R.
TRAINSPOTTER NOTES
This is a class R.370 0-6-0 steam tank locomotive built by Romeo-Saronno. This class was found only on the narrow gauge (950 mm) lines of Sicily. They were all rack-and-adhesion locos like this one, using the Strub rack system for negotiating the steep gradients of the lines. This loco was built in 1915 and bears the number 012. It is one of 5 known remaining examples. The line it worked on (Ferrovia Dittaino-Piazza Armerina-Caltagirone, later part of the Italian state network) was 81 Km long and shut in 1971 to much local protest as it was apparently a busy line. It carried mineral freight (especially sulphur) and passengers. From the records it also seems to have been a very scenic line, with fine little stations, a tunnel and several sizeable fine viaducts. If it were ever restored, it would make an excellent tourist attraction as a museum line, and the locomotives themselves would be an unusual, if not unique, attraction in their own right - at least for rail enthusiasts.

LONDON - PARIS - CATANIA - ROME - LONDON ----- DAY 7
Photo from the seventh day of our crazy long distance rail trip from home (London) to Sicily. We had had an unscheduled but happy first night stopover in Paris because our Eurostar train out of London was badly delayed due to 'a fatality [unexplained - perhaps fortunately] on the train'. We therefore missed our onward sleeper train connection to Rome, so spent our second day stopover in Paris. We left Paris that evening, on the equivalent sleeper train service a day later. We reached Rome during the third day, where we changed to a daytime train for Catania, Sicily, arriving there the same evening. Our fourth day was our first full day in Sicily, and we spent this in the centre of Catania itself. We spent our fifth day on an excursion to Mount Etna run by GeoEtnaExplorer. We chose this tour company because the guides are geologists. Our particular tour went high up on the flanks on the summit, but not to the summit proper. For this sixth day, our final full day in Sicily, we took the bus from Catania (our base) to Siracusa, in search of Ancient Greek remains, while also getting distracted by other interesting sights, and some excellent ice cream, at various points in the day. But perhaps the most spectacular thing was the huge thunderstorm which hit us in the early part of the afternoon. The seventh day was the start of our homeward journey, for which we took our sixth train of the trip, from Catania and ending with an overnight stop in Rome.
By the end of the whole holiday trip we had seen things and sites from ancient Greek time to modern, so the trip felt like a mini Grand Tour. Or given the rich mythology of Sicily, Etna and the Straits of Messina (Odysseus, the Cyclops, Scylla & Charybdis, etc.) perhaps our trip was like a modern mini Odyssey of our times. Odysseus took ten years to get home. It took us ten trains - but no monsters.
