The Postcard
A Matteson Series postcard that was published by R. Steinman, St. Paul, Minn. The card was posted in Raton, New Mexico using a one cent stamp on the 30th. October 1907. It was sent to:
Miss O. S. Higgins,
East Gray,
Maine.
The message on the divided back of the card was as follows:
"A little different
from Maine.
E. M."
Sol Tax
So what else happened on the day that the card was posted?
Not a lot, but the 30th. October 1907 did mark the birth, in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, of Sol Tax. The following obituary was published by the University of Chicago Chronicle on the 19th. January 1995:
"Professor Sol Tax
Sol Tax (Ph.D. 1935), an internationally renowned anthropologist, Professor Emeritus and former Chairman of Anthropology and former Dean of the University Extension, died on the 4th. January 1995. He was 87.
Tax organized anthropology as a global discipline, and helped establish the field of action anthropology, an approach in which researchers work to help solve social problems. He also was a specialist on Native American cultures.
In 1957, he founded Current Anthropology, an international journal that publishes research and commentary. He was editor of the journal from 1957 to 1974.
George Stocking, the Stein-Freiler Distinguished Service Professor in Anthropology has said:
"More than any other single person, Sol Tax
was the facilitator and organizer of anthropology
as an international discipline.
He used Current Anthropology as a means of
providing communication worldwide on important
issues in anthropology.
Particularly in developing countries and in the
former Soviet Union in the 1960's and 1970's,
Sol Tax was the name people associated with
anthropology."
Throughout his career, Tax was a leader in bringing people together to discuss social and anthropological issues. In 1961, he was coordinator of the American Indian Chicago Conference, which brought 700 Native Americans from more than 80 tribal groups to the University in order to prepare a "Declaration of Indian Purpose."
The declaration sought for the first time to present a unified Native American position on the relation of native people to the federal government.
In 1968, Sol organized a conference on the military draft that brought together military leaders and political figures. The conference led to the publication the same year of Tax's book The Draft: A Handbook of Facts and Alternatives.
In 1973, Sol organized the Ninth International Congress of Anthropological and Ethnological Sciences, "One Species, Many Cultures," which was held in Chicago.
More than 1,000 papers were presented at 85 conference sessions. The conference was attended by 4,000 scholars from more than 100 countries.
Tax's main area of specialization was the social anthropology of North and Middle American Indians. As a researcher in that area, he established the approach known as action anthropology.
Tax said in a paper that he delivered at a meeting of the American Anthropological Association in 1950:
"By definition, action anthropology is an
activity in which an anthropologist has
two coordinate goals, to neither one of
which he will delegate an inferior position.
He wants to help a group of people to
solve a problem, and he wants to learn
something in the process."
Tax received his Ph.B. in 1931 from the University of Wisconsin and his Ph.D. in 1935 from Chicago. He was an ethnologist for the Carnegie Institution from 1934 to 1946.
Sol also served for much of his career, from 1938 to 1962, as director of the Fox Indian Project in Tama, Iowa.
Tax joined the University of Chicago faculty as Research Associate in 1940. He was named Professor in 1948.
From 1963 to 1968, he served as Dean of the University Extension. As dean, he oversaw the off-campus education programs of the University, and also organized conferences, including one held in 1965 on the theme "The Origins of Man."
The research presented at that conference added new insights to work that had been presented at a conference that Tax had organized and chaired in 1959 -- the Darwin Centennial Celebration held at the University.
In addition to being on the faculty at Chicago, Tax served as director of the Smithsonian Institution's Center for the Study of Man. He also served on the U.S. National Commission for UNESCO, and on President Johnson's special task force on American Indian Affairs.
Sol was a consultant for the U.S. Office of Education, the U.S. Bureau of Indian Affairs, the National Institute of Mental Health, and the Smithsonian Institution.
Tax was widely honored for his work. In 1962, he received the Viking Fund Medal and Award from the Wenner-Gren Foundation for Anthropological Research for his outstanding achievements.
He was an honorary member of the Royal Anthropological Institute of Great Britain and Ireland, the Chilean Anthropological Society, and the Czechoslovakian Anthropological Society.
From 1958 to 1959, he was president of the American Anthropological Association."
The Death and Legacy of Sol Tax
Sol Tax died of a heart attack following a short illness on the 4th. January 1995, at his home in Chicago.
Sol was laid to rest at the Spring Hill Cemetery and Mausoleum, Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
Tax was survived by his wife, Gertrude Katz Tax; daughters Susan Freeman of Chicago, and Marianna Choldin of Champaign, Ill.; and three grandchildren.
Sol's published works include:
-- "Penny Capitalism: A Guatemalan Indian Economy" (1953).
-- "Evolution After Darwin," co-author and editor (1960).
-- "Horizons of Anthropology" (1963).
-- "The People vs. The System: A Dialogue in Urban Conflict" (1968).
-- "The Draft: A Handbook of Facts and Alternatives," co-author and editor (1968).
UPDATE: After reading the recently published article about the new freshwater crab genus Cantopotamon, the crabs I found are certainly Cantopotamon zhuhaiense, described from the exact locality where I found them. Here is the link to this article:
zoolstud.sinica.edu.tw/Journals/56/56-41.pdf
The crabs were found in fast to slow-flowing hill streams on altitudes between 50 and 300 meters above sea level. They hide under stones and were occasionally observed leaving the water and climbing rock. At no site C. zhuhaiense was seen thriving sympatrically with the other Potamid I saw, Nanhaipotamon guangdongense, althuogh in the original description, they were observed living in the same habitat as Nanhaipotamon zhuhaiense and N. guangdongense.
Nevertheless, N. guangdongense was present in very small to small, more slow-flowing streams with sandy, muddy, or clay bottom, whereas C. zhuhaiense was found in broader, fast-flowing streams on gravel or sandy bottom.
Zhuhai, Guangdong
Fromer Text:
The freshwater crab genus Candidiopotamon is to date only known from Taiwan and the Ryukyu Islands. The species described from Guangdong province by Dai, 1999 is now considered a synonym of C. rathbunae from Taiwan (See Shih & Ng, 2011).
Nevertheless, I found a few specimens resembeling no other Potamids from Guangdong province that I am aware of, but bear similarity to C. rathbunae. For no better name, the specimes are labeled C. cf. guangdongense. It is possible that there is a population of C. rathbunae or a new unknown species in Guangdong. Perhaps, the crabs I found belong to yet another species described by a single or few specimens from unknown localities in Guangdong, as Yarepotamon guangdongense.
The only dorsal image of Y. guangdongense I was able to find is in black and white and really small, and as I did not take an image of the male Gonopod or Maxilliped 3, there is no way to finally determine the status of the photographed specimen (link to the article here: lkcnhm.nus.edu.sg/app/uploads/2017/06/45rbz237-264.pdf).
This photograph was published in the Illustrated Chronicle on the 23rd of January 1917.
During the Great War the Illustrated Chronicle published photographs of soldiers and sailors from Newcastle and the North East of England, which had been in the news. The photographs were sent in by relatives and give us a glimpse into the past.
The physical collection held by Newcastle Libraries comprises bound volumes of the newspaper from 1910 to 1925. We are keen to find out more about the people in the photographs. If you recognise anyone in the images and have any stories and information to add please comment below.

The Postcard
A postally unused carte postale published by Robert Laillet of Chartres. The card has a divided back.
The statue has unfortunately been vandalised at some point in its history.
Chartres
Chartres is a city and capital of the Eure-et-Loir department in France. At the 2019 census, there were 38,534 individuals living in the city.
Chartres is famous worldwide for its Gothic cathedral which is in an exceptional state of preservation. The majority of the original stained glass windows survive intact, while the architecture has seen only minor changes since the early 13th. century.
Part the old town, including most of the library associated with the School of Chartres, was destroyed by Allied bombs in 1944.
The Cathédrale Notre-Dame de Chartres, is one of the finest and best preserved Gothic cathedrals in France and in Europe. Its historical and cultural importance has been recognized by its inclusion on the UNESCO list of World Heritage Sites.
Chartres is built on a hill on the left bank of the river Eure. The medieval cathedral is at the top of the hill, and its two spires are visible from miles away across the flat surrounding lands. To the southeast stretches the fertile plain of Beauce, the "Granary of France", of which the town is the commercial centre.
Chartres cathedral was built on the site of the former Chartres cathedral of Romanesque architecture, which was destroyed by fire (that former cathedral had been built on the ruins of an ancient Celtic temple, later replaced by a Roman temple).
Begun in 1205, the construction of Notre-Dame de Chartres was completed 66 years later.
The stained glass windows of the cathedral were financed by guilds of merchants and craftsmen, and by wealthy noblemen, whose names appear at the bottom. It is not known how the famous and unique blue, bleu de Chartres, of the glass was created, and it has been impossible to replicate it.
Chartres in WWII
In World War II, the city suffered heavy damage, both by bombing and during the battle of Chartres in August 1944, but the cathedral was spared by an American Army officer who challenged the order to destroy it.
On the 16th. August 1944, Colonel Welborn Barton Griffith Jr. questioned the necessity of destroying the cathedral, and volunteered to go behind enemy lines to find out whether the Germans were using it as an observation post.
With his driver, Griffith proceeded to the cathedral and, after searching it all the way up its bell tower, confirmed to Headquarters that it was empty of Germans. The order to destroy the cathedral was withdrawn.
Colonel Griffith was killed in action later on that day in the town of Lèves, 3.5 kilometres (2.2 miles) north of Chartres. For his heroic action both at Chartres and Lèves, Colonel Griffith received, posthumously, decorations awarded by the President of the United States and the U.S. Military, and also from the French government.
Following deep reconnaissance missions and after heavy fighting in and around the city, Chartres was liberated on the 18th. August 1944, by the U.S. 5th. Infantry and 7th. Armored Divisions commanded by General George S. Patton.
Churches of Chartres
The Église Saint-Pierre de Chartres was the church of the Benedictine Abbaye Saint-Père-en-Vallée, founded in the 7th. century by Queen Balthild. At the time of its construction, the abbey was outside the walls of the city. It contains fine stained glass and, formerly, twelve representations of the apostles in enamel, created circa 1547 by Léonard Limosin, which now can be seen in the fine arts museum.
Other noteworthy churches of Chartres are Saint-Aignan (13th., 16th. and 17th. centuries), and Saint-Martin-au-Val (12th. century), inside the Saint-Brice hospital.
Museums of Chartres
Chartres' Museums include:
-- Le Musée des Beaux-Arts, a fine arts museum, housed in the former episcopal palace adjacent to the cathedral.
-- Le Centre International du Vitrail, a workshop-museum and cultural center devoted to stained glass art, located 50 metres (160 feet) from the cathedral.
-- Le Conservatoire du Machinisme et des Pratiques Agricoles, an agricultural museum.
-- Le Musée le Grenier de l'Histoire, a history museum specializing in military uniforms and accoutrements, in Lèves, a suburb of Chartres.
-- Le Musée des Sciences Naturelles et de la Préhistoire, a Natural science and Prehistory Museum (closed since 2015).
Other Features of Chartres
The river Eure, which at this point divides into three branches, is crossed by several bridges, some of them ancient, and is fringed in places by remains of the old fortifications, of which the Porte Guillaume (14th. century), a gateway flanked by towers, was the most complete specimen, until destroyed by the retreating German army on the night of the 15th./16th. August 1944.
The steep, narrow streets of the old town contrast with the wide, shady boulevards which encircle it and separate it from the suburbs. The Parc André-Gagnon lies to the north-west, and squares and open spaces are numerous.
Part of the Hôtel de Ville dates from the 17th. century, and is called l'Hôtel de Montescot. There is also La Maison Canoniale dating back to the 13th. century, and several medieval and Renaissance houses.
La Maison Picassiette, a house decorated inside and out with mosaics of shards of broken china and pottery, is also worth a visit.
There is also a statue of General Marceau (1769–1796), a native of Chartres and a general during the French Revolution.
The Economy of Chartres
Historically, game pies and other delicacies of Chartres are well known, and the city's industries have also included flour-milling, brewing, distilling, iron-founding, leather manufacture, perfumes, dyeing, stained glass, billiard requisites and hosiery.
More recently, businesses include the manufacture of electronic equipment and car accessories. Since 1976 the fashion and perfumes company Puig has had a production plant in the commune.
Pilgrimages
Chartres has been a site of Catholic pilgrimages since the Middle Ages. The poet Charles Péguy, who was born in 1873, revived the pilgrimage route between Paris and Chartres before the Great War.
At the outbreak of the war, Péguy became a lieutenant in the French 276th. Infantry Regiment. He died at the age of 41 in battle, shot in the forehead, near Villeroy, Seine-et-Marne on the 5th. September 1914, the day before the beginning of the Battle of the Marne. There is a memorial to Charles near the field where he was killed.
After the war, a number of students carried on the pilgrimage in his memory. Since 1982, the association Notre-Dame de Chrétienté, with offices in Versailles, organizes the annual 100 km (62 mi) pilgrimage on foot from Notre-Dame de Paris to Notre-Dame de Chartres. About 15,000 pilgrims, from France and countries outside France, participate every year.
The Bataclan Theatre Massacre
Chartres was the home of Omar Ismael Mostefaï aged 29, one of the three gunmen who attacked the audience at the Bataclan concert venue on the 13th. November 2015, starting at 21.40.
It was part of a carefully co-ordinated attack on Paris; over a 20 minute period, Islamist militants also killed and injured people at the Stade de France, and at six restaurants and cafes along the 10th. and 11th. arrondissements.
Shootings and bomb blasts on that night left a total of 130 people dead and hundreds wounded, with more than 100 in a critical condition.
The Start of the Bataclan Massacre
On the evening of the 13th. November 2015, the American rock band Eagles of Death Metal was playing to an audience of about 1,500 people at the Bataclan on the Boulevard Voltaire in the 11th. arrondissement of Paris.
One of the restaurants was a popular Cambodian eatery in the trendy Canal Saint-Martin area, where at least 12 people died. Another 19 people were killed at a busy restaurant on nearby Rue de Charonne.
Three dark-clad gunmen had been waiting in a black rental car near the venue for more than an hour, and were armed with Zastava M70 assault rifles. The M70 is a derivative of the Soviet AK-47, and can fire at a rate of 620 rounds per minute. Over 4 million of the hellish things have unfortunately been manufactured.
The terrorists were three French natives of Algerian descent. As the band was playing their song "Kiss the Devil", the three men got out of the car and opened fire on people outside the venue, killing three.
They then burst into the concert hall and sprayed the crowd with automatic gunfire. Witnesses heard shouts of "Allahu Akbar" as the terrorists opened fire. Initially, the audience mistook the gunfire for pyrotechnics. The band ran offstage and escaped with many of the crew, although their tour manager was killed.
Rows of people were mown down by gunfire or were forced to drop to the ground to avoid being shot. Survivors described hundreds of people lying beside and on top of each other in pools of blood, screaming in terror and pain.
The gunmen also fired up into the balconies, and dead bodies fell down onto the stalls below. For a few minutes, the hall was plunged into darkness, with only the flashes from the assault rifles as the gunmen kept shooting.
The terrorists shouted that they were there because of French airstrikes against Islamic State. A witness who was inside the Bataclan heard a gunman say:
"This is because of all the harm
done by Hollande to Muslims all
over the world."
A radio reporter attending the concert reported that:
"The terrorists were calm and determined, and they
reloaded three or four times. Two gunmen attacked
the concert hall; one gunman covered fire while
another reloaded to ensure maximum efficiency."
Whenever a gunman stopped to reload, members of the crowd, some with bullets in them, ran for the emergency exits, scrambling over each other to escape. Some were shot from behind as they fled, and the terrorists laughed as they shot them. Those who reached an emergency exit were shot by the third gunman, who had positioned himself there.
Other groups of people barricaded themselves in backstage rooms. Some smashed open the ceiling in an upstairs toilet, and hid among the rafters under the roof. Those who could not run lay still on the floor or under bodies pretending to be dead. One women was seen hanging from a third floor window.
According to survivors, the terrorists walked among those who were lying down, kicked them, and shot them in the head if there were any sign of life.
An eyewitness reported hearing the gunmen ask amongst themselves where the members of the Eagles of Death Metal were once the gunfire stopped. Mostefaï and another of the gunmen then went upstairs to the balconies, while the third attacker stayed downstairs and fired at people who tried to flee.
Initial Armed Response to the Terrorists
The Brigade of Research and Intervention (BRI) arrived on the scene at 22:15, soon followed by the elite tactical unit, RAID. At 22:15, the first two responding officers entered the building armed with handguns and encountered one of the terrorists who was standing on the stage.
The Jihadist died after being shot by the officers and detonating his explosive vest. Mostefaï and the other remaining gunman (Mohamed-Aggad) then fired upon the officers, forcing them to withdraw and wait for backup.
The Stand-Off
From this point, Mostefaï and the other attacker took about twenty hostages and herded them into a room at the end of a corridor located further within the building. They also seized the hostages' mobile phones and attempted to use them to access the Internet, but they were unable to find a signal.
Some of the hostages were forced to look down into the hall and out the windows and report what they saw. During this time, the two terrorists fired on police and first responders as they arrived at the scene.
At 23:30, an elite police squad entered the building. One unit evacuated survivors from downstairs, while another unit went upstairs. They found Mohamed-Aggad and Mostefaï, who had begun using hostages as human shields. They shouted out to police the number of a hostage's phone.
Over the next 50 minutes, they had four phone exchanges with a police negotiator, during which time they threatened to execute hostages unless they received a signed paper promising France's departure from Muslim lands.
The Police Assault
The police assault began at 00:20 and lasted three minutes. Police launched the assault because of reports that Mohamed-Aggad and Mostefaï had started killing hostages. Police using shields burst open the door to the room and exchanged fire with Mohamed-Aggad and Mostefaï while managing to pull the hostages one-by-one behind their shields. One terrorist detonated his explosive vest, and the other tried to do the same but was shot.
Ninety people were killed at the Bataclan on that night, and hundreds of others were wounded. Almost all of the deceased victims were killed within the first 20 minutes of the attack. All of the hostages were rescued without injury.
Police dog teams from the Brigade Cynophile assisted with body removal because of concerns that there could still be live explosives in the theatre. Identification and removal of the bodies took 10 hours, a process made difficult because some audience members had left their identity papers in the theatre's cloakroom.
Omar Ismael Mostefaï
The homegrown suicide bomber Omar Ismael Mostefaï was identified after his finger was found among the Bataclan concert hall carnage.
Mostefaï was born in the Paris suburb of Courcouronnes and had eight past convictions for petty crimes. He is said to have been radicalised by a Belgian hate preacher at a mosque in France.
The Jihadist was buried in the Cimetière Parisien de Thiais
located in Val-de-Marne.
Link: bit.ly/fatareport | Reports and Photographs from the Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA) in Pakistan.
Published in November 2014, the report features photos taken by young photographers from FATA, examples of everyday life in Mohmand, Khyber, Kurram and South Waziristan agencies. Images of the iconic Khyber Pass and many towns along the border with Afghanistan lend a real-life dimension to this largely unknown, and often ignored or misrepresented region of Pakistan. In a part of the world where photography is uncommon, these photographs depict subtle interactions of FATA citizens at work, at school and during informal moments throughout the tribal areas.
The report text, entitled "The Struggle for Rights and Reforms in Pakistan's Tribal Areas" describes the history and trajectory of reform demands made by Pakistani citizens, civil society groups and the people of FATA. Also included are quotes from citizens and political leaders, collected to show opinions and visions for the future of FATA. Voices included demonstrate a strong desire for equal rights and equal participation in the context of Pakistan's evolving democracy.
For those who know the tribal areas well, this report may serve as a reminder of the great number of Pakistanis working for a brighter future for FATA. For those previously not aware of the political activities in FATA, the report may provide a new and unique glimpse at the diverse richness of the culture and people in Pakistan's tribal areas.
The 75 photographs were carefully selected from over 1,000 that were submitted for review. All are from young photographers between the ages of 17 and 30, from varied socio-economic backgrounds in FATA. Without their efforts and talent, the report would not have been possible.

Info about Rosl-The Royal Over-Seas League ,Patron HM The Queen Vice Patron HRH Princess Alexandra Brief history of the Royal Over-Seas League
The Royal Over-Seas League is a unique institution. It is the practical embodiment of an idea conceived by a young man John Evelyn Wrench who saw what was then the British Empire not merely as a political and economic structure but as a 'far flung brotherhood of individual men and women of diverse creeds and races living under
differing conditions in different latitudes'. He sought to encourage friendship and understanding between them.
Founded in 1910 as the Over-Seas Club, it was granted a Royal Charter of Incorporation in 1922. To mark its Golden Jubilee in 1960, Her Majesty the Queen granted the title 'Royal'.

The Postcard
A postcard published by the Lansdowne Production Co. of London bearing an early high-quality image of Hyde Park Corner.
The monochrome photograph has been rather crudely hand tinted - the artist has added pink 'blossoms' to the trees which are the same colour as the lower half of the bus near the Wellington Arch.
The card was posted on Tuesday the 4th. September 1951 to a post box in Tel Aviv.
The Wellington Arch
The Wellington Arch, also known as Constitution Arch or (originally) as the Green Park Arch, is a Grade I-listed triumphal arch by Decimus Burton that forms a centrepiece of Hyde Park Corner in central London.
It stands on a large traffic island with crossings for pedestrian access. When constructed (1826–1830) the arch stood in a different location nearby; it was moved to its current site in 1882–1883.
The arch originally supported a colossal equestrian statue of the 1st. Duke of Wellington by the sculptor Cotes Wyatt, as a result of which it has acquired the name "The Wellington Arch." A bronze quadriga (an ancient four-horse chariot) by Adrian Jones has surmounted the arch since 1912.
History of the Wellington Arch
Both the Wellington Arch and Marble Arch (originally sited in front of Buckingham Palace) were planned in 1825 by George IV to commemorate Britain's victories in the Napoleonic Wars.
During the second half of the 1820's, the Commissioners of Woods and Forests and the King resolved that Hyde Park, and the area around it, should be renovated to match the splendour of rival European capital cities, and that the essence of the new arrangement would be a triumphal approach to the recently completed Buckingham Palace.
The committee of the project, led by the Prime Minister, Lord Liverpool, and advised by Charles Arbuthnot, selected Decimus Burton as the project's architect. In 1828, when giving evidence to a Parliamentary Select Committee, Arbuthnot explained that he had nominated Burton:
"Having seen in the Regent's Park, and elsewhere,
works which pleased my eye, from their architectural
beauty and correctness".
Burton intended to create an urban space dedicated to the celebration of the House of Hanover, national pride, and the nation's heroes.
The renovation of Hyde Park, Green Park, and St. James's Park began in 1825, with the demarcation of new drives and pathways, subsequent to which Burton designed new lodges and gates, viz. Cumberland Gate, Stanhope Gate, Grosvenor Gate, the Hyde Park Gate/Screen at Hyde Park Corner, and, later, the Prince of Wales's Gate, Knightsbridge, in the classical style.
There were no authoritative precedents for such buildings, which required windows and chimney stacks, in the classical style, and, in the words of Guy Williams:
"Burton's reticent treatment of the supernumerary
features and of the cast iron gates and railings was
greatly admired".
At Hyde Park Corner, the King required:
"Some great ceremonial outwork that would
be worthy of the new palace that lay to its rear".
The King accepted Burton's proposal for a gateway and classical screen, along with a triumphal arch, which would enable those approaching Buckingham Palace from the north to ride first through the screen and then through the arch, before turning to descend Constitution Hill and enter the forecourt of Buckingham Palace through Nash's Marble Arch.
The screen became the neoclassical Hyde Park Gate/Screen at Hyde Park Corner, which delighted the King and his Committee, and which the architectural historian Guy Williams describes as:
"One of the most pleasing architectural works
that have survived from the neo-classical age".
The triumphal arch has been described as "One of London's best loved landmarks".
Burton's original design for the triumphal arch, which was modelled on the Arch of Titus at Rome, was more technically perfect, and coherent with the Screen, than that of the arch that was subsequently built.
Burton's original design, however, was rejected by the Committee – who had envisaged a design based on the Arch of Constantine, on which Nash's Marble Arch had been modelled – because it was not sufficiently ostentatious.
Burton created a new design, "to pander to the majestic ego", which was much larger and which was accepted on the 14th. January 1826, and subsequently built as the present Wellington Arch.
The arch has a single opening, and uses the Corinthian order. Much of the intended exterior ornamentation was omitted as a cost-saving exercise necessitated by the King's overspending on the refurbishment of Buckingham Palace, which was underway at the same time.
A contemporary account, written in anticipation of its completion to its original plan, describes what was intended:
"The entabulature is loft and elegant, with a richly
sculptured frieze, and a row of boldly projecting
lions' heads on the cymatium, marking the centres
of columns and other sub-divisions of the order.
Above the entablature, on a lofty blocking course,
is raised an attic, the body of which is embellished
with a sculptural representation of an ancient triumph.
On each of the columns is a statue of a warrior, and
on the summit of the acroterium which surmounts the
attic is a figure in a quadriga or ancient four horse
chariot."
However the arch was left devoid of decorative sculpture as a result of the moratorium in 1828 on public building work. Instead, despite the strong objection of Burton, was mounted with an ungainly equestrian statue of the Duke of Wellington by Matthew Cotes Wyatt, the son of the then recently deceased James Wyatt, who had been selected by the statue's commissioner, and one of its few subsequent advocates, Sir Frederick Trench.
The bronze by Matthew Cotes Wyatt, which surmounted the arch, was, at 40 tons and 28 feet (8.53 m) in height, the largest equestrian figure ever made.
However Matthew Cotes Wyatt was not competent: Guy Williams contended that "He was not noticeably talented", and the Dictionary of National Biography states:
"Thanks to royal and other influential patronage,
Wyatt enjoyed a reputation and practice to which
his mediocre abilities hardly entitled him".
Trench, and his patrons the Duke and Duchess of Rutland, had told public subscribers to the statue that it would be placed on top of Burton's triumphal arch at Hyde Park Corner.
Burton expressed his opposition to this proposal "as plainly and as vehemently as his nature allowed" consistently over successive years, because the ungainly statue would "disfigure" his arch.
He claimed that the statue was much too large for the arch and the surrounding neighbourhood. He also noted that the statue would have to be placed, contrary to all classical precedent, across, instead of parallel with, the roadway under the arch.
Burton had envisaged that his arch would be topped with only a small quadriga whose horses would have been parallel with the road under the arch. Burton's objections were extensively endorsed by most of the aristocratic residents of London.
A writer in The Builder asked Lord Canning, the First Commissioner for Woods and Forests, to ban the project:
"We have learnt, and can state positively, that Mr. Burton
has the strongest objection possible against placing the
group in question on the archway... and that he is taking
no part whatever in the alteration proposed to be made
in the upper part of the structure to prepare it to receive
the pedestal... Mr. Burton, through the mildness which
characterizes him, has not expressed this opinion so
loudly and so publicly as he ought to have done.... an
opinion prevails very generally, that he is a party to the
proceedings, and this has induced many to be silent
who would otherwise have spoken."
The Prime Minister, Sir Robert Peel, contended that another site would be preferable, and proposed, on behalf of the Crown, to offer an alternative location, but the statue's subscribers rejected all alternative proposals.
Every single MP except Sir Frederick Trench wanted the statue to be placed elsewhere. Canning wrote:
"The remonstrances which reach Her Majesty's
Government against the proposed appropriation
of the arch are so many and so strong, the
representations of its architect, Mr. Burton, in the
same sense, are so earnest, and the opinion of
every other eminent architect, artist, or other
competent authority who has been consulted on
the subject is so decided against the placing of
the Wellington statue on the arch."
Decimus Burton himself wrote:
"The arch would, I consider, suffer greatly in importance
if the colossal statue in question be placed there, because
it would become a mere pedestal.
The want of proportion in the proposed surmount, compared with the columns and other details of the architecture, would show that they had been designed by different hands, and without reference for each other. I have desired to witness
the completion of this building, as originally designed by me, and as approved by the Lords of the Treasury, yet I would prefer that the building should remain for the present in its forlorn and bare state, rather than a colossal equestrian
statue should be placed upon it.
I fear that if this appropriation of the building should be decided upon, a proposition would soon be made for removing altogether the facades of columns, the slender proportions of which would appear so incongruous and
out of proportion compared with the prodigious
dimensions of the statue".
Burton had realized that the disciples of Pugin and advocates of Pugin's anti-classicism would remove all classical elements from his arch if permitted the opportunity to do so.
Despite Burton's objections, the Wellington statue was placed on the arch in autumn 1846; Williams contends that the product was "ridiculous". The Builder contended:
"Down, unquestionably, it must come. As the network
of timber is removed, spar by spar, from before it, so
does the folly of the experiment, the absurdity of the conjunction, and the greatness of the sacrifice become apparent.
Its effect is even worse than we anticipated – the
destruction of the arch by the statue, and of the statue
by its elevation on the arch, more complete.
Every post brings us letters urging renewed efforts to
remove the figure to another site".
The issue of the removal of the statue became national. However, the Government failed to remove the statue, despite having professed, when it had been placed, that they would do so if it provoked serious aversion.
Foreign intellectuals who visited London identified the incongruous fusion of the statue and the arch as:
"Spectacular confirmation of the
artistic ignorance of the English".
Guy Williams writes that
"The arch at Hyde Park Corner is a visible reminder
of one of the fiercest attacks that have ever been
launched in the worlds of art and architecture.
The face of London might have been very different
now – freer, perhaps, of the 'monstrous carbuncles'
so disliked by the present Prince of Wales – if Decimus
Burton had been a little more pugnacious, and so better
equipped to stand his ground".
The Quadriga
During 1882, traffic congestion at Hyde Park Corner required Burton's arch to be moved to the top of Constitution Hill to create space for traffic. Burton's great-nephew Francis Fearon suggested that the moving of the arch would be a good opportunity to remove the Wellington statue from the arch. Fearon contended that the:
"The arch should be relieved once
and for all of its unsightly load".
The campaign led by Fearon was successful: Wyatt's incongruous statue was removed to Aldershot, and its place on Burton's arch, which was moved to Constitution Hill in 1883, was occupied by a Quadriga by Captain Adrian Jones.
Jones' statue is not nearly as elegant as Burton's designed statue intended for the arch, but it is more coherent with the arch than Wyatt's statue, and its figures, unlike those of Wyatt's statue, are aligned with the roadway under the arch.
Jones's statue is based on a smaller original which caught the eye of Edward VII at a Royal Academy exhibition. The sculpture depicts Nike, the winged goddess of victory, descending on the chariot of war, holding the classical symbol of victory and honour, a laurel wreath.
The face of the charioteer leading the quadriga is that of a small boy (actually the son of Lord Michelham, who funded the sculpture). The angel of peace was modelled on Beatrice Stewart.
The statue is the largest bronze sculpture in Europe.
Public Access to the Arch
The arch is hollow inside, and until 1992 housed the smallest police station in London. Transferred to the ownership of English Heritage in 1999, the arch is open to the paying public.
The arch offers three floors of exhibits detailing its history, exhibition space, and high terraces on both sides with views of the surrounding area.
One half of the arch functions as a ventilation shaft for the Hyde Park Corner road underpass, constructed in 1961–1962.
Martin Chambers
So what else happened on the day that the card was posted?
Well, the 4th. September 1951 marked the birth in Hereford of Martin Chambers.
Martin Dale Chambers is an English musician, who is best known as a founding member and drummer of the rock band the Pretenders. In addition to playing the drums with the group, Chambers sings backing vocals.
Martin Chambers' Career
Prior to joining the as-yet unnamed Pretenders, Chambers played with James Honeyman-Scott in Cheeks, a band led by former Mott the Hoople keyboardist Verden Allen. At the time Chambers joined the band in 1978, he was working as a driving instructor in Tufnell Park, London where he had got a job with the British School of Motoring:
"Because it came with a
car so I could get about."
Because of that he found where Jim and Pete were living and then replaced Jerry Mackleduff on drums. At Chambers's first rehearsal with the group, Hynde recalled:
"We plugged in and started playing "Precious",
and I remember clearly, I had to turn around
and face the wall, I was laughing so hard,
because as soon as Martin started playing with
us, I knew this was it. We had the band."
Martin also recalled the rehearsal:
"We knew it straight away.
We just locked in."
In the Autumn of 1981, The Pretenders cancelled their US and Canada Tour as Chambers had cut his hand, and the injury was so bad that he couldn’t play for a number of weeks. The band decided to postpone the tour rather than replace Chambers.
Chambers proved to be a versatile drummer within the group, with a hard-hitting style that is evident on songs such as "Middle of the Road".
Guitarist Adam Seymour has acknowledged that:
"There's a definite thing going on in
the rhythm between Chrissie's guitar
and Martin's drums that you would
need a scientific equation to explain.
Martin kind of pulls back on the beat
while Chrissie's pushing it forward."
Chambers' first tenure with the group lasted from mid-1978 until the mid-1980's. Coping with the death of bandmates Honeyman-Scott and Farndon proved difficult, and his consequent lack of enthusiasm resulted in his departure from the group during the Get Close sessions.
According to Hynde:
"I felt his playing had deteriorated.
I think he was still very traumatized
by the loss of Pete and Jimmy."
Martin concurred, admitting:
"I wasn't really into it
to be honest."
Chambers rejoined the group in 1994 during the sessions for Last of the Independents, and has been with the group ever since. When he rejoined, Seymour recalled:
"When Martin sat down, it
began to feel like a real band."
Martin summed up his reunion with the group, saying:
"At the end of the day Chrissie asked
me back because no one could make
it work quite like we did."
Hynde concurred, saying:
"I missed him terribly. ... Both he and I
were floundering—and probably not
playing well—and I needed someone
to kick me in the ass and inspire me.
We went through one song and it was
the same buzz as when we first played
together. No one has that swing and
feel."
In late 2008, The Pretenders released the album Break Up the Concrete with Chambers being replaced by Jim Keltner, although Chambers remained an official member and played with the band on live dates.
In addition to playing with the Pretenders, Chambers also plays in the band Miss World fronted by songwriter Jonathan Perkins, who had worked with artists such as XTC and Original Mirrors.
In late September and early October 2009, Chambers sat in on drums for the seven Mott the Hoople reunion shows (2 in Monmouth and 5 at Hammersmith Odeon) alongside former Cheeks bandmate Verden Allen due to the illness of Dale Griffin who had loaned Chambers his kit for his first live show in 1967 at St. Mary's Church Hall, Ross on Wye, Herefordshire.
Way back in 1908, a weekly - "A Conviccao" - was edited and published by Antonio Xavier Serrao at Cotula vaddo in Saligao village (Goa-India). The picture of the vintage newspaper shows the masthead of its issue dated January 23, 1909. I am anxious to see some of the oldest newspapers.
Says my erudite friend Fr Nascimento Mascarenhas, hailing from Saligao, "A Conviccao, news weekly, Saligao, Cotula. Editor and Publisher Antonio Xavier Serrao (began publishing it in his own printing press, from January 1908 and with some inturuptions, stopped publishing it from 18th May, 1912 no. 188, 4th year... Printed in small folio (no folio pequeno), published from 15th January 1887 to 1895, edited by Gustavo A.de Silva, Leopoldo C.da Gama, Pascoal Joao Gomes and others... May be the copies of this weekly are in the Central Library , Panjim, now shifted to Patto, Panjim. Kindly find out and photograph the first one of January 15, 1887. It will be great." By the way, Fr Nascimento has recently published his fifth Goa book LAND OF THE SAL TREE (pp 290), which contains stories of the history, legends and traditions of Saligao, a typical Goan village and illustrated by Mel D'Souza.

Published by Usborne books in 1979, The Detectives Handbook (also published as 3 separate books) was quite simply my favourite childhood book.
Usborne are always known for the wealth of their illustrations, and these were no different. Pages of Colin King's artwork that made me want to go out and copy it, and above all, I wanted that detectives office!
