Monster High Frankie Stein presents The Explorers Guild Volume One: A Passage to Shambhala (©2015) by Jon Baird, Stephen Meyer, and Kevin Costner (yes, that Kevin Costner), illustrated by Rick Ross.

The tale is set in the period between 1912 and 1918. Coincidentally, one of the subplots of the mammoth tome I finally finished reading last night, Against the Day by Thomas Pynchon, was a search for the mythical land of Shambhala set in the same time period.

Similar to the remarkable The Invention of Hugo Cabret (©2007) by Brian Selznick, The Explorers Guild intersperses text chapters with a graphic novel format, although in Explorers Guild much of the artwork is of a more straightforward comic book style as opposed to the almost fine art approach of Cabret, with the exception of several astonishing full-colour plates reminiscent of N. C. Wyeth in both style and substance.

So, how is it? I don't know, I haven't read it yet, but I intend to start as soon as I have finished composing this overly-lengthy caption!
We walked along Chapel Street, peering in the shop windows and enjoying the old buildings. You can see the Guild Chapel at the end of this street, where the street changes to Church Street and the Edward Moon Brasserie.
The Guild Chapel of the Holy Cross, Stratford-upon-Avon, Warwickshire is a chapel of 13th century origins. Founded by the Guild of the Holy Cross before 1269, it passed into the control of the town corporation in 1553, when the Guild was suppressed by Edward VI. The chapel stands on Church Street, opposite the site of William Shakespeare's home, New Place, and has historic connections to Shakespeare's family. The chapel was gifted an extensive series of wall-paintings by Hugh Clopton, an earlier owner of New Place, and John Shakespeare, Shakespeare's father, undertook their defacement in the later 1500s. The paintings have recently been conserved. Clopton undertook a major expansion of the chapel before his death in 1496, constructing a new nave which was incomplete when he died. The chapel was restored in a thirty-year programme undertaken by Stephen Dykes Bower from 1954-1983 and is a Grade I listed building. Owned and maintained by the Stratford-upon-Avon Town Trust, the chapel is used for services by King Edward VI School.
Edward Moon was a travelling chef who worked for the British Colonial service in the early 19th Century. His adventures took him to far away places where he cooked for governors and ambassadors, taking them back to their homeland with every British-flavoured mouthful. As well as being an expert in English cuisine, he was also very creative and embraced all the different ingredients and cooking styles he encountered. Today this restaurant pays homage to Edward Moon’s life by serving a plethora of English dishes, alongside some internationally influenced creations.
Guilds of Historica Book II Challenge 1 A
Soraya is a member of the Hashishin, an ancient and secretive group of Kaliphlin assassins. Some even claim that the very word "assassin" can be traced back to this group. The widespread idea that the Hashishin are smoking certain plants before combat is however an ignorant misinterpretation of the name. Even though their numbers are few, they are feared throughout Kaliphlin and indeed throughout Historica.
Soraya is very skilled in the use of her long single-edged sword, but she also has a few more tricks up her sleeve. One of these is her trained monkey, fiercely loyal and with surprising skills with the knife.
In some parts of Nocturnus, the strangleweeds grow very thick and the only relatively safe means of transportation is on the rare stone paths with stone walls and regular patrols to get rid of the weeds. These paths are unfortunately also an excellent place for an ambush, as Soraya well knows. She therefore lets her monkey follow her on the side between the trees. When as expected a Nocturnian soldier ambushes her, the monkey is ready to deal with the threat...
I've been working on printing cyanotypes on transparent paper and laying this on gold leaf. I'd be very interested in hearing from anyone who has tried exposing cyanotypes on transparent paper.

This wonderful 13th-century chapel has some very fine wall paintings, currently being restored. Some were covered over with limewash whilst others were hidden behind the panelling, which you can see on the right-hand side. It's believed there is a mural of the Whore of Babylon lurking somewhere...

The current Bath stone building, which was designed by Thomas Baldwin, was built between 1775 and 1778. It was extended by John McKean Brydon in 1893. The central facade has 4 Ionic columns and the building is surmounted by the figure of Justice. The central dome and the north and south wings were added in 1893 and form a continuous building with the Victoria Art Gallery which was also built around the same time.
The Guildhall suffered considerable damage in a fire on 25 April 1972. The interior includes a banqueting hall with engaged Corinthian columns. It contains 18th century chandeliers and original royal portraits. The room is used on royal visits to the city including Queen Elizabeth II who had lunch in the banqueting room in May 2002.
It now houses the Bath and North East Somerset Council chamber, the Register office for Bath and North East Somerset, which sees the building used as a wedding venue, and houses the Bath and North East Somerset Archives and Local Studies services in the Bath Record Office. The Guildhall also serves as one of the venues for the Bath International Music Festival and other cultural events. It has been used for filming period dramas.

The Birmingham Guild were one of a number of small post-Morris craft guilds that specialised in such items as signs, plaques and metalwork. This catalogue has a wonderful array of pub signs inside - the front cover is a stylish and eye-catching take on the Guild's 'badge' that included elements of the Birmingham coat-of-arms. The Guild famously produced the first real design for a fixed bus stop and post for the London General Omnibus Company in the post-1922 period.
