The Postcard

 

A postally unused Victoria Series postcard that was published by J. Davis of 24, Queen Victoria Street, London E.C. and printed at their works in Hamburg.

 

In the space for the stamp they state that a half-penny stamp is required,. This indicates a publication date prior to the summer of 1918 which is when the rate was doubled to one penny in order to help pay for the Great War.

 

The card has a divided back, and at the top of the left hand side the publishers have printed:

 

'This space may now be

used for communication'.

 

The divided back was introduced in the UK in 1902, therefore the card was published early in the first decade of the 20th. century.

 

Battle Abbey

 

Battle Abbey is a partially ruined Benedictine abbey in Battle, East Sussex. The abbey was built on the site of the Battle of Hastings, and is dedicated to St. Martin of Tours.

 

The Grade I listed site is now operated by English Heritage, and includes the abbey buildings and ruins, a visitor centre with a film and exhibition about the battle, audio tours of the battlefield site, and the monks' gatehouse with recovered artefacts.

 

The visitor centre includes a children's discovery room and a café, and there is an outdoor themed playground.

 

In 1070, Pope Alexander II ordered the Normans to do penance for killing so many people during their conquest of England. In response, William the Conqueror vowed to build an abbey where the Battle of Hastings had taken place, with the high altar of its church on the supposed spot where King Harold fell in the battle on Saturday, 14 October 1066.

 

William started building it, but died before it was completed. Its church was finished in about 1094 and consecrated during the reign of his son William known as Rufus.

 

William I had ruled that the church of St Martin of Battle was to be exempted from all episcopal jurisdiction, putting it on the level of Canterbury. It was remodelled in the late 13th. century, but virtually destroyed during the Dissolution of the Monasteries in 1538 under King Henry VIII.

 

The abbey and much of its land was given by Henry VIII to his friend and Master of the Horse, Sir Anthony Browne, who demolished the church and parts of the cloister and turned the abbot's quarters into a country house.

 

It was sold in 1721 by Browne's descendant, Anthony Browne, 6th Earl of Montagu, to Sir Thomas Webster, MP and baronet. Sir Thomas had married the heiress Jane Cheek, granddaughter of a wealthy merchant, Henry Whistler, to whose vast inheritance she succeeded in 1719.

 

Webster was succeeded by his son, Sir Whistler Webster, 2nd Baronet, who died childless in 1779, being succeeded in the baronetcy by his brother. Battle Abbey remained in the Webster family until 1857, when it was sold to Lord Harry Vane, later Duke of Cleveland. On the death of the Duchess of Cleveland in 1901, the estate was bought back by Sir Augustus Webster, 7th baronet.

 

Sir Augustus (son of Sir Augustus, 7th baronet) was born in 1864 and succeeded his father as 8th baronet in 1886. In 1895, he married the only daughter of Henry Crossley of Aldborough Hall, Bedale. Sir Augustus was formerly a captain in the Coldstream Guards.

 

The descendants of Sir Augustus Webster, 8th baronet (died 1923) who brought the extinction, finally sold Battle Abbey to the British government in 1976 and it is now in the care of English Heritage.

 

It was an all-girls boarding school when Canadian troops were stationed there in the Second World War, and continues to this day as a successful school for both boys and girls.

 

All that is left of the abbey church itself today is its outline on the ground, but parts of some of the abbey's buildings are still standing: those built between the 13th and 16th century. These are still in use as the independent Battle Abbey School.

 

Visitors to the abbey usually are not allowed inside the school buildings, although during the school's summer holidays, access to the abbot's hall is often allowed.

 

The church's high altar reputedly stood on the spot where Harold died. This is now marked by a plaque on the ground, and nearby is a monument to Harold erected by the people of Normandy in 1903. The ruins of the abbey, with the adjacent battlefield, are a popular tourist attraction, with events such as the Battle of Hastings reenactments.

The Albertina

The architectural history of the Palais

(Pictures you can see by clicking on the link at the end of page!)

Image: The oldest photographic view of the newly designed Palais Archduke Albrecht, 1869

"It is my will that ​​the expansion of the inner city of Vienna with regard to a suitable connection of the same with the suburbs as soon as possible is tackled and at this on Regulirung (regulation) and beautifying of my Residence and Imperial Capital is taken into account. To this end I grant the withdrawal of the ramparts and fortifications of the inner city and the trenches around the same".

This decree of Emperor Franz Joseph I, published on 25 December 1857 in the Wiener Zeitung, formed the basis for the largest the surface concerning and architecturally most significant transformation of the Viennese cityscape. Involving several renowned domestic and foreign architects a "master plan" took form, which included the construction of a boulevard instead of the ramparts between the inner city and its radially upstream suburbs. In the 50-years during implementation phase, an impressive architectural ensemble developed, consisting of imperial and private representational buildings, public administration and cultural buildings, churches and barracks, marking the era under the term "ring-street style". Already in the first year tithe decided a senior member of the Austrian imperial family to decorate the facades of his palace according to the new design principles, and thus certified the aristocratic claim that this also "historicism" said style on the part of the imperial house was attributed.

It was the palace of Archduke Albrecht (1817-1895), the Senior of the Habsburg Family Council, who as Field Marshal held the overall command over the Austro-Hungarian army. The building was incorporated into the imperial residence of the Hofburg complex, forming the south-west corner and extending eleven meters above street level on the so-called Augustinerbastei.

The close proximity of the palace to the imperial residence corresponded not only with Emperor Franz Joseph I and Archduke Albert with a close familial relationship between the owner of the palace and the monarch. Even the former inhabitants were always in close relationship to the imperial family, whether by birth or marriage. An exception here again proves the rule: Don Emanuel Teles da Silva Conde Tarouca (1696-1771), for which Maria Theresa in 1744 the palace had built, was just a close friend and advisor of the monarch. Silva Tarouca underpins the rule with a second exception, because he belonged to the administrative services as Generalhofbaudirektor (general court architect) and President of the Austrian-Dutch administration, while all other him subsequent owners were highest ranking military.

In the annals of Austrian history, especially those of military history, they either went into as commander of the Imperial Army, or the Austrian, later kk Army. In chronological order, this applies to Duke Carl Alexander of Lorraine, the brother-of-law of Maria Theresa, as Imperial Marshal, her son-in-law Duke Albert of Saxe-Teschen, also field marshal, whos adopted son, Archduke Charles of Austria, the last imperial field marshal and only Generalissimo of Austria, his son Archduke Albrecht of Austria as Feldmarschalil and army Supreme commander, and most recently his nephew Archduke Friedrich of Austria, who held as field marshal from 1914 to 1916 the command of the Austro-Hungarian troops. Despite their military profession, all five generals conceived themselves as patrons of the arts and promoted large sums of money to build large collections, the construction of magnificent buildings and cultural life. Charles Alexander of Lorraine promoted as governor of the Austrian Netherlands from 1741 to 1780 the Academy of Fine Arts, the Théâtre de Ja Monnaie and the companies Bourgeois Concert and Concert Noble, he founded the Academie royale et imperial des Sciences et des Lettres, opened the Bibliotheque Royal for the population and supported artistic talents with high scholarships. World fame got his porcelain collection, which however had to be sold by Emperor Joseph II to pay off his debts. Duke Albert began in 1776 according to the concept of conte Durazzo to set up an encyclopedic collection of prints, which forms the core of the world-famous "Albertina" today.

1816 declared to Fideikommiss and thus in future indivisible, inalienable and inseparable, the collection 1822 passed into the possession of Archduke Carl, who, like his descendants, it broadened. Under him, the collection was introduced together with the sumptuously equipped palace on the Augustinerbastei in the so-called "Carl Ludwig'schen fideicommissum in 1826, by which the building and the in it kept collection fused into an indissoluble unity. At this time had from the Palais Tarouca by structural expansion or acquisition a veritable Residenz palace evolved. Duke Albert of Saxe-Teschen was first in 1800 the third floor of the adjacent Augustinian convent wing adapted to house his collection and he had after 1802 by his Belgian architect Louis de Montoyer at the suburban side built a magnificent extension, called the wing of staterooms, it was equipped in the style of Louis XVI. Only two decades later, Archduke Carl the entire palace newly set up. According to scetches of the architect Joseph Kornhäusel the 1822-1825 retreaded premises presented themselves in the Empire style. The interior of the palace testified from now in an impressive way the high rank and the prominent position of its owner. Under Archduke Albrecht the outer appearance also should meet the requirements. He had the facade of the palace in the style of historicism orchestrated and added to the Palais front against the suburbs an offshore covered access. Inside, he limited himself, apart from the redesign of the Rococo room in the manner of the second Blondel style, to the retention of the paternal stock. Archduke Friedrich's plans for an expansion of the palace were omitted, however, because of the outbreak of the First World War so that his contribution to the state rooms, especially, consists in the layout of the Spanish apartment, which he in 1895 for his sister, the Queen of Spain Maria Christina, had set up as a permanent residence.

Picture: The "audience room" after the restoration: Picture: The "balcony room" around 1990

The era of stately representation with handing down their cultural values ​​found its most obvious visualization inside the palace through the design and features of the staterooms. On one hand, by the use of the finest materials and the purchase of masterfully manufactured pieces of equipment, such as on the other hand by the permanent reuse of older equipment parts. This period lasted until 1919, when Archduke Friedrich was expropriated by the newly founded Republic of Austria. With the republicanization of the collection and the building first of all finished the tradition that the owner's name was synonymous with the building name:

After Palais Tarouca or tarokkisches house it was called Lorraine House, afterwards Duke Albert Palais and Palais Archduke Carl. Due to the new construction of an adjacently located administration building it received in 1865 the prefix "Upper" and was referred to as Upper Palais Archduke Albrecht and Upper Palais Archduke Frederick. For the state a special reference to the Habsburg past was certainly politically no longer opportune, which is why was decided to name the building according to the in it kept collection "Albertina".

Picture: The "Wedgwood Cabinet" after the restoration: Picture: the "Wedgwood Cabinet" in the Palais Archduke Friedrich, 1905

This name derives from the term "La Collection Albertina" which had been used by the gallery Inspector Maurice von Thausing in 1870 in the Gazette des Beaux-Arts for the former graphics collection of Duke Albert. For this reason, it was the first time since the foundation of the palace that the name of the collection had become synonymous with the room shell. Room shell, hence, because the Republic of Austria Archduke Friedrich had allowed to take along all the movable goods from the palace in his Hungarian exile: crystal chandeliers, curtains and carpets as well as sculptures, vases and clocks. Particularly stressed should be the exquisite furniture, which stems of three facilities phases: the Louis XVI furnitures of Duke Albert, which had been manufactured on the basis of fraternal relations between his wife Archduchess Marie Christine and the French Queen Marie Antoinette after 1780 in the French Hofmanufakturen, also the on behalf of Archduke Charles 1822-1825 in the Vienna Porcelain Manufactory by Joseph Danhauser produced Empire furnitures and thirdly additions of the same style of Archduke Friedrich, which this about 1900 at Portois & Ffix as well as at Friedrich Otto Schmidt had commissioned.

The "swept clean" building got due to the strained financial situation after the First World War initially only a makeshift facility. However, since until 1999 no revision of the emergency equipment took place, but differently designed, primarily the utilitarianism committed office furnitures complementarily had been added, the equipment of the former state rooms presented itself at the end of the 20th century as an inhomogeneous administrative mingle-mangle of insignificant parts, where, however, dwelt a certain quaint charm. From the magnificent state rooms had evolved depots, storage rooms, a library, a study hall and several officed.

Image: The palace after the demolition of the entrance facade, 1948-52

Worse it hit the outer appearance of the palace, because in times of continued anti-Habsburg sentiment after the Second World War and inspired by an intolerant destruction will, it came by pickaxe to a ministerial erasure of history. In contrast to the graphic collection possessed the richly decorated facades with the conspicuous insignia of the former owner an object-immanent reference to the Habsburg past and thus exhibited the monarchial traditions and values ​​of the era of Francis Joseph significantly. As part of the remedial measures after a bomb damage, in 1948 the aristocratic, by Archduke Albert initiated, historicist facade structuring along with all decorations was cut off, many facade figures demolished and the Hapsburg crest emblems plunged to the ground. Since in addition the old ramp also had been cancelled and the main entrance of the bastion level had been moved down to the second basement storey at street level, ended the presence of the old Archduke's palace after more than 200 years. At the reopening of the "Albertina Graphic Collection" in 1952, the former Hapsburg Palais of splendour presented itself as one of his identity robbed, formally trivial, soulless room shell, whose successful republicanization an oversized and also unproportional eagle above the new main entrance to the Augustinian road symbolized. The emocratic throw of monuments had wiped out the Hapsburg palace from the urban appeareance, whereby in the perception only existed a nondescript, nameless and ahistorical building that henceforth served the lodging and presentation of world-famous graphic collection of the Albertina. The condition was not changed by the decision to the refurbishment because there were only planned collection specific extensions, but no restoration of the palace.

Image: The palace after the Second World War with simplified facades, the rudiment of the Danubiusbrunnens (well) and the new staircase up to the Augustinerbastei

This paradigm shift corresponded to a blatant reversal of the historical circumstances, as the travel guides and travel books for kk Residence and imperial capital of Vienna dedicated itself primarily with the magnificent, aristocratic palace on the Augustinerbastei with the sumptuously fitted out reception rooms and mentioned the collection kept there - if at all - only in passing. Only with the repositioning of the Albertina in 2000 under the direction of Klaus Albrecht Schröder, the palace was within the meaning and in fulfillment of the Fideikommiss of Archduke Charles in 1826 again met with the high regard, from which could result a further inseparable bond between the magnificent mansions and the world-famous collection. In view of the knowing about politically motivated errors and omissions of the past, the facades should get back their noble, historicist designing, the staterooms regain their glamorous, prestigious appearance and culturally unique equippment be repurchased. From this presumption, eventually grew the full commitment to revise the history of redemption and the return of the stately palace in the public consciousness.

Image: The restored suburb facade of the Palais Albertina suburb

The smoothed palace facades were returned to their original condition and present themselves today - with the exception of the not anymore reconstructed Attica figures - again with the historicist decoration and layout elements that Archduke Albrecht had given after the razing of the Augustinerbastei in 1865 in order. The neoclassical interiors, today called after the former inhabitants "Habsburg Staterooms", receiving a meticulous and detailed restoration taking place at the premises of originality and authenticity, got back their venerable and sumptuous appearance. From the world wide scattered historical pieces of equipment have been bought back 70 properties or could be returned through permanent loan to its original location, by which to the visitors is made experiencable again that atmosphere in 1919 the state rooms of the last Habsburg owner Archduke Frederick had owned. The for the first time in 80 years public accessible "Habsburg State Rooms" at the Palais Albertina enable now again as eloquent testimony to our Habsburg past and as a unique cultural heritage fundamental and essential insights into the Austrian cultural history. With the relocation of the main entrance to the level of the Augustinerbastei the recollection to this so valuable Austrian Cultural Heritage formally and functionally came to completion. The vision of the restoration and recovery of the grand palace was a pillar on which the new Albertina should arise again, the other embody the four large newly built exhibition halls, which allow for the first time in the history of the Albertina, to exhibit the collection throughout its encyclopedic breadh under optimal conservation conditions.

The palace presents itself now in its appearance in the historicist style of the Ringstrassenära, almost as if nothing had happened in the meantime. But will the wheel of time should not, cannot and must not be turned back, so that the double standards of the "Albertina Palace" said museum - on the one hand Habsburg grandeur palaces and other modern museum for the arts of graphics - should be symbolized by a modern character: The in 2003 by Hans Hollein designed far into the Albertina square cantilevering, elegant floating flying roof. 64 meters long, it symbolizes in the form of a dynamic wedge the accelerated urban spatial connectivity and public access to the palace. It advertises the major changes in the interior as well as the huge underground extensions of the repositioned "Albertina".

Il collettivo britannico Archive in italia per una data unica con il nuovo album The False Foundation, sabato 26 novembre al Fabrique di Milano

 

A poco più di un anno dall’ultimo tour nel nostro Paese, tornano in Italia gli Archive per una data unica con il loro Kings of the False Foundation Tour, sabato 26 novembre al Fabrique di Milano per presentare il nuovo album The False Foundation, in uscita il 7 ottobre!

 

Collettivo britannico che mescola progressive rock, trip-hop, elettronica, psichedelia ed ambient, gli Archive nascono nel 1993 a Londra da un’idea di Darius Keeler e Rosko John, ai quali poco dopo si uniscono Danny Griffiths e la vocalist Roya Arab. Nel 1996 esordiscono con Londinium, un mix di trip-hop, elettronica e breakbeat che li affianca ad artisti come Massive Attack e Portishead. Il moderato successo di critica non impedisce a Rosko John e Roya Arab di lasciare la band; quest’ultima viene sostituita da Suzanne Wooder, insieme alla quale l’ensemble dà alle stampe Take My Head. Gli avvicendamenti all’interno della formazione non hanno fine e, dopo tre album insieme a Craig Walker, nel 2004 Keeler e Griffiths decidono di trasformare la band in un collettivo di artisti individuali che offrono il loro contributo per mantenere vivo il tradizionale sound degli Archive. Ad oggi gli Archive hanno all’attivo la colonna sonora del film Michel Vaillant (2003), tre compilation, sette live album, tre EP e dieci album in studio, l’ultimo dei quali è per l’appunto The False Foundation.

 

Oltre ai due fondatori Darius Keeler (testi, sintetizzatore, piano, programming, arrangiamenti) e Danny Griffiths (testi, sintetizzatore, campionamenti, programming, arrangiamenti), ad oggi il collettivo Archive comprende Pollard Berrier (testi, voce, chitarra, programming, arrangiamenti), Dave Pen (testi, voce, chitarra), Maria Q (voce), Holly Martin (voce), Steve Harris (chitarra, cori), Jonathan Noyce (basso), Steve “The Menace” Davis (basso), Steve “Smiley” Barnard (batteria), Mickey Hurcombe (chitarra) e Tom Brazelle (armonica).

 

Photograph published 14th December 1918

 

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 recognize anyone in the images and have any stories and information to add please comment below.

 

The Postcard

 

An image of part of the grounds of St. Joseph's Convent in Reading on a postcard which was posted in Reading on Monday the 20th. October 1919 to an address in Rue Marcadet, Paris.

 

The convent was founded in Reading, Berkshire in 1910, but since then it has undergone a name change - it is now a thriving independent Catholic day school for boys and girls aged 3 to 18 called St. Joseph's College.

 

Notable alumnae include two singers - Marianne Faithfull and Alma Cogan.

 

Virginia Woolf

 

So what else happened on the day that the card was posted?

 

Well, on the 20th. October 1919, a novel by Virginia Woolf was published for the first time. It is called 'Night and Day', and is set in Edwardian London.

 

The book contrasts the daily lives of two acquaintances, Katharine Hilbery and Mary Datchet, and examines the relationships between love, marriage, happiness and success.

 

Thoughts From Virginia Woolf

 

"One cannot think well, love well,

sleep well, if one has not dined well."

 

"Why are women so much more

interesting to men than men are

to women?"

 

"The eyes of others our prisons;

their thoughts our cages."

 

"I thought how unpleasant it is to

be locked out; and I thought how

it is worse, perhaps, to be locked in."

 

"Fiction is like a spider's web, attached

ever so slightly perhaps, but still attached

to life at all four corners. Often the

attachment is scarcely perceptible."

 

"It is fatal to be a man or woman pure

and simple: one must be a woman manly,

or a man womanly."

 

"Humour is the first of the gifts to perish

in a foreign tongue."

 

"Once conform, once do what other people

do because they do it, and a lethargy steals

over all the finer nerves and faculties of the

soul.

She becomes all outer show and inward

emptiness; dull, callous, and indifferent."

 

"Literature is strewn with the wreckage of

men who have minded beyond reason the

opinions of others."

 

"There is much to support the view that it

is clothes that wear us, and not we, them;

we may make them take the mould of arm

or breast, but they mould our hearts, our

brains, our tongues to their liking."

 

"Let a man get up and say, 'Behold, this is

the truth', and instantly I perceive a sandy

cat filching a piece of fish in the background.

Look, you have forgotten the cat, I say."

 

"On the outskirts of every agony sits

some observant fellow who points."

 

"One likes people much better when

they're battered down by a prodigious

siege of misfortune than when they

triumph."

 

"There can be no two opinions as to what

a highbrow is. He is the man or woman of

thoroughbred intelligence who rides his

mind at a gallop across country in pursuit

of an idea."

 

"If you do not tell the truth about yourself

you cannot tell it about other people."

 

"Some people go to priests; others to

poetry; I to my friends."

 

"For most of history, Anonymous

was a woman."

 

"If I can only note that the past is beautiful

because one never realises an emotion at

the time. It expands later, and thus we don't

have complete emotions about the present,

only about the past."

 

"To enjoy freedom we have to control

ourselves."

 

"Yet it is in our idleness, in our dreams,

that the submerged truth sometimes

comes to the top."

 

"Language is wine upon the lips."

 

"I read the book of Job last night, I

don't think God comes out well in it."

 

"Every secret of a writer's soul, every

experience of his life, every quality of

his mind is written large in his works."

 

"The truth is, I often like women. I like

their unconventionality. I like their

completeness. I like their anonymity."

 

"The history of men's opposition to

women's emancipation is more

interesting perhaps than the story

of that emancipation itself."

 

"The older one grows, the more

one likes indecency."

 

"One of the signs of passing youth

is the birth of a sense of fellowship

with other human beings as we take

our place among them."

 

"This soul, or life within us, by no

means agrees with the life outside us."

 

"I want the concentration and the romance,

and the worlds all glued together, fused,

glowing: have no time to waste any more

on prose."

 

"Masterpieces are not single and solitary

births; they are the outcome of many years

of thinking in common, of thinking by the

body of the people, so that the experience

of the mass is behind the single voice."

 

"A woman must have money and a room

of her own if she is to write fiction."

 

"I was in a queer mood, thinking myself

very old: but now I am a woman again -

as I always am when I write."

 

"I would venture to guess that Anon,

who wrote so many poems without

signing them, was often a woman."

 

"You cannot find peace by avoiding life."

 

"My own brain is to me the most

unaccountable of machinery -

always buzzing, humming, soaring

roaring diving, and then buried in

mud. And why? What's this passion

for?"

 

"Someone has to die in order that

the rest of us should value life more."

 

"The beauty of the world, which is so

soon to perish, has two edges, one of

laughter, one of anguish, cutting the

heart asunder."

 

"Nothing has really happened until

it has been recorded."

 

"These are the soul's changes. I don't

believe in ageing. I believe in forever

altering one's aspect to the sun. Hence

my optimism."

 

"Mental fight means thinking against

the current, not with it. It is our business

to puncture gas bags and discover the

seeds of truth."

 

"It is far more difficult to murder

a phantom than a reality."

 

"Really I don't like human nature

unless all candied over with art."

 

"The telephone, which interrupts the

most serious conversations and cuts

short the most weighty observations,

has a romance of its own."

 

"Boredom is the legitimate

kingdom of the philanthropic."

 

"If we help an educated man's daughter

to go to Cambridge are we not forcing

her to think not about education but

about war? - not how she can learn, but

how she can fight in order that she might

win the same advantages as her brothers?"

 

"The man who is aware of himself is

henceforward independent; and he is never

bored, and life is only too short, and he is

steeped through and through with a

profound yet temperate happiness."

 

"That great Cathedral space which

was childhood."

 

"This is an important book, the critic

assumes, because it deals with war.

This is an insignificant book because

it deals with the feelings of women

in a drawing-room."

 

"It seems as if an age of genius must

be succeeded by an age of endeavour;

riot and extravagance by cleanliness

and hard work."

 

"Yet, it is true, poetry is delicious; the

best prose is that which is most full

of poetry."

 

"It's not catastrophes, murders, deaths,

diseases, that age and kill us; it's the way

people look and laugh, and run up the

steps of omnibuses."

 

"Life is not a series of gig lamps

symmetrically arranged; life is a

luminous halo, a semi-transparent

envelope surrounding us from the

beginning of consciousness to the

end."

I recently learned that a photo I took from the cycling leg of a triathlon was used as a two page spread in a book called "Bike Fit" from Bloomsbury Publishing. So of course I had to buy a copy for posterity.

Published by the Ueda Company in Yokohama, circa 1907. A set of hand-colored collotype postcards. Ueda also published a set of postcards featuring O-Hana-san. When we find a complete set, we'll post it here.

I was floored when my plushies were selected to appear in the summer edition of Stuffed magazine. I am relatively new to plushie creation(3ish years) and thought I had no chance to to be picked. I sent 3 Quirky Costumed Kids in a big brown box to STUFFED headquarters as a first step to living my dream to be a successful stay-at-home mom and craft artist. Lo and Behold they chose them to be part of their publication and I am super happy about it :D

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!

EC Comics Reprints

By Michael Vance

 

Boys experience profound moments that shape their lives. They learn parents aren’t perfect, and that girls are something other.

 

I bought the farm in ’65.

 

On that farm, aliens were landing. In and around me, it created no small stir.

 

With the farm came the secret horror of eternal youth, a murderer aboard a spaceship filled with sleeping beauties, and a baby slain on the banks of Saint George Bay. The ‘farm’ I’d bought was a story in a paperback comics collection, “Tales of the Incredible”.

 

That paperback taught me that comics could be excellent literature. Eventually, I learned these stories I’d loved were reprinted from “Weird Science”, “Weird Fantasy” and “Weird Science-Fantasy”, comic published by EC.

 

EC published these and more than a dozen titles in the early ‘50s, as well as “Mad” and a forgotten humor title, “Panic”. Imagine my joy when I found EC's horror comics, “The Vault of Horror”, “The Haunt of Fear”, and “Tales from the Crypt (now an HBO TV series).

 

Guess my horror at the prince of a single original issue of these rare books!

 

Prepare for a profound moment. Russ Cochran, Publisher, began reprinting all of these anthology comics in the ‘70s. The “EC Library” is now available in oversized, hardcover sets with slipcovers, most priced at over $100. The library includes “Crime Suspenstories”, “Shock Suspenstories”, “Two Fisted Tales”, “Frontline Combat”, and EC’s SF and humor titles. One hodge-podge set offers “MD”, “Impact”, Psychoanalysis”, “Aces High”, “Extra!”, “Valor” and “Piracy”.

 

You may order by mail or through a comics shop now that boys have become men. But remember, you’ve learned parents are completely fallible and girls are (shudder) more than something other. Your illusions are shattered.

 

On the farm I bought, aliens still land, and in and around me, EC still creates no small stir!

 

Early 1930s. Published in a book called 'Wonderful London - Silver Jubilee Souvenir' (of King George V and Queen Mary, 1935).

 

"Remembering the price of land in the City, we may be surprised at the little oases of green that occur here and there. Many of them are remnants of old churchyards, and the plot of land where the famous plane-tree stands at the corner of Wood Street and Cheapside once belonged to St Peter at the Cross. The tree itself, which is mentioned in Wordsworth's "The Reverie of Poor Susan" is stringently protected in the leases of neighbouring buildings. The doubtful claim of the shop at the corner of Friday Street is no longer in dispute: it has recently given way to one of the newest edifices in Cheapside".

Il 6 aprile 2016 gli Scott Bradlee’s Postmodern Jukebox, la rivelazione swing americana già fenomeno di Youtube grazie alla cover di Miley Cyrus “We can’t stop”, saranno in concerto in Italia all’Alcatraz di Milano, per l’unica tappa italiana del tour.

 

Un fenomeno ormai mondiale, con 200 Milioni di visualizzazioni su Youtube e 1 Milione di iscritti al canale.

 

Un tour che parte nel 2015 dagli Stati Uniti passando per l’Asia ed approdando in Europa nel 2016 con oltre 80 date confermate. Immaginate canzoni di Beyoncé, Britney Spears or Taylor Swift riportate indietro di 70-80 anni…

 

Gli Scott Bradlee’s Postmodern Jukebox (o PMJ, come ormai vengono chiamati in tutto il mondo) sono una mini-big band swing a tutti gli effetti, ma con qualcosa in più: uniscono il perfetto stile “d’epoca” ai brani moderni di Beyoncé, Britney Spears, White Stripes o Taylor Swift rielaborandoli come se fossero arrangiati per Louis Armstrong, Ella Fitzgerald, Judy Garland o Nina Simone. I PMJ colmano il divario tra le generazioni, suonando melodie a tutti familiari con arrangiamenti che intrigano tutte le età.
