For centuriesthe House of Lords has provoked blind adorationblind rage and often public merriment.Opening with a knockabout eyewitness account of Mrs Thatcher's entry into the Other Place she had so long despisedacclaimed writeractor and man of the theatre John Wells now tells the full history of this unique hereditary institution.Since the Roman occupationsome kind of Senate has always existed in Britainbut it was in the 14thC that a Chamber of Peersdistinct and separate from the House of Commonsemerged.While the Commons represented the Communes the peoplethe Lords represented no one but themselves. Even the Bishopswho were in a sense the first democratically elected members of Parliament being chosen by their own clergydid not represent either the Church or their own diocese but were simply Wise Men with the right to advise the Head of State.Explaining the historical origins of their bizarre ritualsJohn Wells throws vivid light on the present-day institution and its possible future.In a series of dramaticlashbacks including the murder of Thomas BeckettCromwell'sabolition of the Lords and the Great Reform BillWells demonstrates the House's record on Europeits political value as a sheet-anchor in stormy weather and its attitude to orderjust or unjust.By way of a description of the old Palace of Westminster before the fire of 1834 and a guide to the present buildingthe author brings us to the modern political arena with Wedgwood Benn's famous renunciation of his father's peeragegives a Press Gallery view of the Great Maastricht Debatetalks to the Black Rod penetrates the inner sanctum of the Lord Great Chamberlain's Chamberand meets the guardian of the Kremlina place of mystery under the Victoria Tower.

Augsburg, chez l'Auteur, sans date (1775). 9,5 x 16 cm. Cartonnage à la bradel (XXe siècle), en pleine toile rose marbrée peignée, dos lisse muet. Page de titre gravée et 24 planches. Très rare suite de coiffures du XVIIIème siècle, complète de ses 24 planches rehaussées sur papier ciré, toutes légendées “Joh. Martin Will exc. A.V.” (Augustae Vindelicorum). Imprimé et publié par le graveur d'Augsbourg Johann Martin Will (1727-1806), cet ouvrage a pour but d’inspirer les coiffeurs. Chaque modèle est une prouesse capillaire pleine de fantaisie où les cheveux sont minutieusement sculptés pour atteindre des sommets, ornés de boucles et de tresses soigneusement disposées, entrelacées de rubans, de plumes, et autres accessoires luxueux. Provenance : tampon "Alexandre de Paris" sur la page de garde. Surnommé le Prince de la coiffure, Alexandre de Paris, né Louis Alexandre Albert Raimon (1922-2008), devient célèbre en mettant son talent au service de prestigieuses maisons de Haute Couture (Chanel, Yves Saint Laurent, Givenchy, Dior, etc), de têtes couronnées (la Princesse Grace de Monaco), et des plus grandes stars de la scène et du cinéma (Audrey Hepburn, Lauren Bacall, Liza Minnelli, Shirley MacLaine, Greta Garbo, Maria Callas, Sophia Loren, Arletty, Michèle Morgan et Romy Schneider). Jean Cocteau, son ami, dessina son logotype et la typographie de son nom.
