Benton Harbor, once a very prosperous hub in the fruit belt of southwestern Michigan, was a unique and wonderful old city. It didn't hold up well after the money went the way of flight to the suburbs or to St. Joseph, across the bridge. Even when the downtown area was nearly abandoned, the city never lost that mystique so intrinsic to the flavor in the surrounding landscape and architecture.. Finally, serious developers have followed a loyal artist's community, and are bringing this town back to life with numerous restoration projects.. Benton Harbor, once the jewel of Southwest Michigan, is starting to shine again. We should all look forward to seeing further progress. I appears that developers are keeping a close eye on authenticity. It is exciting to see. There are a number of fab little art galleries and the like that have been open for some time.
The best thing we found today, in our tour of Benton Harbor, are the cheesecake brownies and peanut butter with peanuts & cream bar (both out of this world delicious); both from a selection of other really good looking stuff at the "Euneek" Bakery (pic in my stream). It's a wonderful place with a fabulous baker. She is also the owner if this fine place and a very nice lady indeed! It's a must stop bakery, for sure.
There is interesting history attached to this old jewel of a town. Many of the old structures are still as they were and through the lens, the deterioration adds to the fascination, enabling the viewer to capture a strong glimpse of what it was like back when. Also, to know Benton Harbor is to know how inextricably linked it is the the infamous House Of David. There is a plethora of information about the House Of David, and it's famous founder, amusement park, baseball team, fruit factory, art shops, printing presses and so much more. If you haven't read one of the many books on the subject, or especially if you have, you should go to The House Of David Museum in nearby Riverside. The vast collection of HOD and related items is simply, amazing. The curator and owner, Mr. Chris Siriano, has an encyclopedic depth of knowledge about this area.

The Monastery of St. Anthony the Great is located in the Valley of Kadisha or Qadisha, specifically the Valley of Qozhaya, in
Northern Lebanon. According to the Oral Tradition, St. Anthony (251-356) called "the Great", founder of the monastic life, never visited Lebanon. However, his disciples lived in the caves in Qozhaya, and their prayers and way of living filled the valley with a unique spiritual fragrance. Today the Monastery’s monks and its hermit (living in the Hermitage of Our Lady of Hawka) continue the tradition by offering their lives and prayers to God. Father Antonios Chayna, the Hermit of Saint Boula Hermitage, passed away on January 3, 2009. One of Qozhaya’s caves, named after St. Anthony, is considered miraculous for the numerous miracles witnessed onsite.

St Bride Foundation
Original design, Robert C Murray, 1894
The building is in the Anglo Dutch style, with fine red brickwork, terracotta dressings and a steeply pitched roof. This style, formerly known as Queen Anne, represents a breaking away from classicism with a return to the domestic architecture of William of Orange.
The height of the rooms and the strength of the floors reflect their purpose for the printing school – printing machinery is extremely heavy – and the lithographic school, which is now the public reading room, can take one ton weight per square metre.
Many features have been adapted but, as far as possible, the essential style is preserved as befits a Grade II listed building. What was the gymnasium is now a printing workshop, the towel laundry is a bar and the swimming pool has been boarded over to create a theatre but the central skylight and the viewing gallery can still be seen. This is a building with a practical purpose which, although the printing school left in the 1920s, still delivers its original aim of providing education and entertainment.
[The] Grade II listed building still boasts its original fine red brickwork, terracotta dressings, and steeply pitched roof from its original construction and feels like a hidden gem, tucked away from the bustle of Fleet Street...
Fleet Street at the end of the 19th Century was at the heart of the printing world. A trade paper of 1891 explained that “most of the great morning and evening journals are issued within its precincts, periodicals are printed by the million, books are manufactured by the ton. There is probably no place in the universe of the same size wherein so much printing is done” (British and Colonial Printer May 21, 1891).
The St Bride Foundation, then, was born from a project by St Bride's Parochial Charities to support a community with printing and publishing as its major industry.
St Bride Library opened as a technical and academic collection in 1895 and has grown dramatically since.
With the death of William Blades, Victorian printer and expert on Caxton and early printing, St Bride Foundation had the opportunity to acquire a private library devoted to the history of print, containing exceptionally rare books on the subject. The collection was given its own purpose-built, fireproof room, in which it still rests to this day, as part of St Bride's extensive library of print-related technical and academic works.
Other important collections were also added, including that of Talbot Baines Reed, a type founder and historian, and John Southward, a technical print journalist.
The St Bride Library collection now consists of well over 50,000 books, periodicals and artefacts and is a thriving, international resource for typographers, graphic designers, writers, researchers and many others who simply enjoy the wealth of publications about the printed word.
When the Institute was planned at the end of the 19th Century, the intention was not just to create a printing school for local workers, but also to provide facilities to the local community. The baths would be open to the public and "available for the use of the poorer classes".
The Swimming Pool – believed to be the first public pool in the area – remains in situ today underneath the stage of the theatre! Its original towel laundry, where swimming costumes were hired, washed and dried, is also still in place in the Bridewell Theatre Bar.

Shown here are the title pages from two books now thought to have been printed secretly at Birchley Hall in the early 17th century.
Left: “WHYTE DYED BLACK. OR A Discovery of many most foule blemishes, impostures, and deceiptes, which D Whyte haith practysed in his book entituled 'The way to the true Church'. Devyded into 3 sortes: Corruptions, or depravations; Lyes; Impertinences, or absurd reasonings. Written by TWP. And Dedicated to the Vniuersity of Cambridge.... Cum privilegio 1615.” Consisting of 184 pages, “Whyte Dyed Black [etc]” is, chronologically, the first book to be ascribed by consensus to the secret printing-press at Birchley Hall. The author, Thomas Worthington, was born at Blainscough Hall near Wigan about 1549. His mother was Isabel Anderton of Euxton Hall, making him a distant relative of the Birchley Andertons. He was ordained at Cambrai in 1577 and became president of the English College, Douai, in 1599. Returning to England in 1615, he was made archdeacon of Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire in 1625 but died the following year. As indicated by the long title, the book was Fr Worthington's answer to Dr John White's “Way to the True Church” (1614). Following the appearance of “Whyte Dyed Black” Dr White's brother, Francis (1564-1638; bishop of Ely from 1631), retaliated with “The orthodox faith and the way to the church ... in answer to a popish treatise” (1617).
Right: “THE LYTVRGIE of THE MASSE: wherein are treated Three Principal Pointes of Faith. 1. That in the Sacrament of the Eucharist are truly and really contained the body and bloud of Christ. 2. That the Masse is a true and proper sacrifice of the body and bloud of Christ, offered to God by Priestes. 3. That Communion of the Eucharist to the Laity under one kind is lawful. The ceremonies also of the Masse now used in the Catholicke Church, are al of them derived from the Primitive Church. BY JOHN BRERELEY. PREIST..... Printed at Colen. 1620.” Including the index and “errata”, “The Lyturgie of The Masse [etc]” runs to 470 pages. A J Hawkes comments that “notwithstanding the book is said to be printed in Cologne, and that on p.468 'the printer's ignorance of our language' is offered as an excuse for the many mistakes, this is almost certainly a Birchley book; it is typographically identical with [“Whyte Dyed Black”]...” (“The Birchley Hall Secret Press”, in Transactions of the Bibliographical Society, Vol VII/Series 4, 1926). For many years there was disagreement over the true identity of the author of “The Lyturgie ...”. Mr Hawkes, in company with the Catholic historian Joseph Gillow, took the view that “John Brereley” was a pseudonym of Fr Laurence Anderton SJ (1575-1643), a cousin of the Birchley Andertons. A F Allison has since demonstrated, convincingly, that the writer was in fact James Anderton of Lostock, born in 1557 and brother of the subsequent occupiers of Birchley Hall - Thurston, Christopher and Roger.*

* “Who was John Brereley? The Identity of a Seventeenth-Century Controversialist” in “Recusant History” 16, 1982-3: “It has been found possible to reconcile all the ascertainable facts of his life with the authorship of these works and to overcome the objection that four of them appeared after his death... [On the other hand,] an investigation of the Jesuit's career and writings has demonstrated that he could not have been the author”. Mr Hawkes' objection that James had died in 1613 is countered with an assertion that the manuscript, though completed in late 1612 or early 1613, was only received at Birchley for printing after Christopher Anderton's death in 1619. The theology of the book is considered in Malcolm Hardman's “A Kingdom in Two Parishes: Lancashire Religious Writers and the English Monarchy, 1521-1689” (Fairleigh Dickinson UP, 1998).

Belgian postcard by Raider Bounty / Joepie. Gene Hackman in The French Connection (William Friedkin, 1971).
American actor Gene Hackman (1930) became a Hollywood star in the 1970s with such films as The French Connection (1971), The Conversation (1974) and Bite the Bullet (1975). He won Oscars for The French Connection (1971) and for Clint Eastwood's Western Unforgiven (1992), making it the fifth time he was nominated.
Eugene Allen Hackman was born in San Bernardino, California, in 1930. He was the son of Anna Lyda Elizabeth (Gray) and Eugene Ezra Hackman, who operated a newspaper printing press. After several moves, his family settled in Danville, Illinois. As a child, he had to spend much time looking after his grandmother, while his parents were at work. Hackman was about 14 years old when his father walked out of the family and Gene left home at sixteen for a hitch with the US Marines. Moving to New York after being discharged, he worked in several menial jobs before studying journalism and television production on the G.I. Bill at the University of Illinois. Hackman would be over 30 years old when he finally decided to take his chance at acting by enrolling at the Pasadena Playhouse in California. Legend says that after flunking out of the Pasadena Playhouse after 3 months and moving to New York City with fellow drop-out Dustin Hoffman, Hackman worked at the Howard Johnson's restaurant in Times Square as a doorman. One day, a Pasadena Playhouse acting teacher whom Hackman hated walked by him, stopped, and told him that he had been right, that Hackman would never amount to anything. Hackman worked in summer stock and off-Broadway. In 1964 he was cast as the young suitor in the Broadway play 'Any Wednesday'. This role would lead to him being cast in the small role of Norman in Lilith (Robert Rossen, 1964), starring Warren Beatty and Jean Seberg. When Beatty was casting for Bonnie and Clyde (Arthur Penn, 1967), he cast Hackman as Buck Barrow, Clyde Barrow's brother. That role earned Hackman a nomination for the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor, an award for which he would again be nominated in I Never Sang for My Father (Gilbert Cates, 1970).
In 1972 Gene Hackman won the Oscar for his role as Detective Jimmy "Popeye" Doyle in The French Connection (William Friedkin, 1971). At 40 years old Hackman was a Hollywood star. He has stated that his performance in Scarecrow (Jerry Schatzberg, 1973) opposite Al Pacino is his personal favourite. The film was critically acclaimed but tanked at the box office. He based his role in The Conversation (Francis Ford Coppola, 1974) on one of his uncles and a fellow Marine he had known well. Other successes were the crime drama Night Moves (Arthur Penn, 1975), the Western Bite the Bullit (Richard Brooks, 1975) about a 700-mile horse race and the sequel French Connection II (John Frankenheimer, 1975). Hackman was a versatile actor who played the blind man in the comedy Young Frankenstein (Mel Brooks, 1974) and the evil Lex Luthor in Superman (Richard Donner, 1978) and Superman II (Richard Donner, Richard Lester, 1980). In 1983, he scored a hit with Under Fire (Roger Spottiswoode, 1983) starring Nick Nolte. More successes followed, such as his high school basketball coach role in Hoosiers (David Anspaugh, 1986) with Barbara Hershey. It culminated in 1988 when he starred in five films, including Another Woman (Woody Allen, 1988) with Gena Rowlands and Mississippi Burning (Alan Parker, 1988) with Willem Dafoe. For the latter film, he received another Oscar nomination.
After initially turning down the role of the sadistic sheriff "Little" Bill Daggett in Clint Eastwood's Unforgiven (1992), Gene Hackman finally accepted it, as its different slant on the Western interested him. For his performance, he won the Oscar and Golden Globe and decided that he wasn't tired of Westerns after all. He has since appeared in Geronimo: An American Legend (Walter Hill, 1993), Wyatt Earp (Lawrence Kasdan, 1994), and The Quick and the Dead (Sam Raimi, 1995) with Sharon Stone. He appeared in three films adapted from novels by John Grisham: The Firm (Sydney Pollack, 1993) with Tom Cruise, as convict Sam Cayhall on death row in The Chamber (James Foley, 1996) and as jury consultant Rankin Fitch in Runaway Jury (Gary Fleder, 2003) with Dustin Hoffman. Hackman played film director Harry Zimm with John Travolta in the comedy-drama Get Shorty (Barry Sonnenfeld, 1995). He also played a submarine Captain on the edge of nuclear destruction in Crimson Tide (Tony Scott, 1995) alongside Denzel Washington, a conservative Senator in a dragqueen club in The Birdcage (Mike Nichols, 1996) and a doctor who puts his work above people in Extreme Measures (Michael Apted, 1996). He played the president of the US in Absolute Power (Clint Eastwood, 1997) and co-starred with Will Smith in the political thriller Enemy of the State (Tony Scott, 1998), his character reminiscent of the one he had portrayed in The Conversation. One of the most sustaining actors of all time, he still averaged two films a year in his 70s, having starred in six in 2001 alone, including Wes Andersons's The Royal Tenenbaums (2001). However, This changed in 2004, when he last acted in Welcome to Mooseport (Donald Petrie, 2004). In 2008, he announced his retirement from acting at the age of 78. In 2011, he released a novel, a violent Western, 'Payback at Morning Peak'. His most recent novel 'Pursuit', a police thriller, followed in 2013. Gene Hackman was married for 30 years to his wife Faye Maltese, with whom he has one son and two daughters: Christopher Allen, Elizabeth Jean, and Leslie Anne Hackman. The couple divorced in 1986. In 1991, Hackman married again, to classical pianist Betsy Arakawa.

Description: Printing Press from the printworks of James Ballantyne and Company, Pauls Work, North Back of Canongate, on which the 'Waverley' novels of Sir Walter Scott were produced. Plaque on press reads '1796 Ballantyne Press, used by Ballantyne in the printing of the Waverley Novels'.
HH 1730/57
Further Notes: Known as the Ballantyne Press it dates from the late 18th Century- a plaque gives the date as 1796, the year when James Ballantyne's first practical connection with printing was established, when he became editor and manager of a new weekly newspaper, the 'Kelso Mail'. James Ballantyne (1772 - 1833) moved his printing business from Kelso to Edinburgh, in 1802, following the success of Scott's 'Minstrelsy of the Scottish Border'. The firm remained at Paul's Work until 1870 when, due to the Encroachments of the Waverley Railway station, it moved to Newington. A branch was set up in London in 1878 and by 1916 the Edinburgh print works had been discontinued.
History: In 1957 the firm - by then Spottiswoode, Ballantyne and Company of London- gave the press to the V & A Museum who transferred it to Edinburgh in October of that year. The press is currently on display at the Writers' Museum, Lady Stairs Close, Edinburgh
Edinburgh City of Print is a joint project between City of Edinburgh Museums and the Scottish Archive of Print and Publishing History Records (SAPPHIRE).

Our visit to the British Library. It is between Euston Road, Midland Road and Ossulston Street in London (London Borough of Camden).
We were here for around an hour. Had a look around the gallery with the old manuscripts (no photos allowed in their for copyright reasons). Then walked towards Camden Town.
They search your bag before you go in, and it has photography restrictions inside due to copyright (so was limited to what I could take).
The British Library is the national library of the United Kingdom and the largest library in the world by number of items catalogued. A Grade I listed building, the library is a major research library, holding around 170 million items from many countries, in many languages and in many formats, both print and digital: books, manuscripts, journals, newspapers, magazines, sound and music recordings, videos, play-scripts, patents, databases, maps, stamps, prints, drawings. The Library's collections include around 14 million books, along with substantial holdings of manuscripts and historical items dating back as far as 2000 BC.
As a legal deposit library, the British Library receives copies of all books produced in the United Kingdom and Ireland, including a significant proportion of overseas titles distributed in the UK. It also has a programme for content acquisitions. The British Library adds some three million items every year occupying 9.6 kilometres (6.0 mi) of new shelf space.
The library is a non-departmental public body sponsored by the Department for Culture, Media and Sport. It is located on the north side of Euston Road in St Pancras, London (between Euston railway station and St Pancras railway station) and has a document storage centre and reading room near Boston Spa, 2.5 miles (4.0 km) east of Wetherby in West Yorkshire.
In 1973, the British Library Act 1972 detached the library department from the British Museum, but it continued to host the now separated British Library in the same Reading Room and building as the museum until the library moved to a purpose-built building at St Pancras, London.

We have collaborated with Ammo magazine and illustrator Nick Deakin to produce this limited edition letterpress print. Nick’s bold line work makes a wonderful impression into Saunders 425gsm cotton, chosen for it’s weight and texture.
We converted Nick’s digital artwork to colour separations, outputted to film and made our photopolymer plates. The smallest detail in the illustration is transferred faithfully to the plates which are mounted on aluminum bases to type height and locked up in the chase. We printed each plate/colour simultaneously on 2 Heidelberg platens achieving accurate registration. Nick supplied Pantone colour refs and the inks were hand mixed to match.
The A5, 2 colour print is signed by the artist and comes with latest lumber jack themed magazine. The print is limited to 500 so be quick!
