‎James, Norman Walker‎

‎Archive of London Artist, Norman Walker James, Featuring a Notable Project Undertaken for Belgian Royalty, a Historic Emblem of the Kingsbury Parade of Shops in London.‎

‎Archive of London Artist, featuring a tribute to king of Belgium; comprises 5 published book dustjackets for notable authors, 2 bookplate designs, 11 heraldic arms of the British monarchy and the Royal Armed Forces, 30 hand-drawn and coloured Oxford coat of arms, 21 unique greeting cards, 7 photographs, and a few other items pertaining to publications and to colleges. Artworks and photographs range in size, the smallest measuring approximately 8 x 11 cm and the largest measuring 20 x 25 cm. With the exception of the greeting cards and bookplates, all other works are mounted to large cardstock leafs measuring approximately 29 x 35 cm. Two series of works are accompanied by typescript descriptions; one is accompanied by a facsimile letter from the College of Arms in London. The lot in very good condition, providing insight into the works of an all but forgotten London-based commercial artist who was active before and during the Second World War. Norman Walker James (1886-1963) was a commercial artist and designer established in London from about 1910-1911. He is listed as a Decorative Designer residing at a boarding house in Kensington, in the 1911 census. Although little-known today, he evidently rose to some acclaim in his trade, as he was selected to design a memorial tablet for Belgian King Albert I. Born in Leicester, he was the son of a congregational minister. The present archive consists of an artist's own retained copies of his work, which form a fascinating portfolio of a man who was notable and active, not long ago from the 1920s into at least the 1940s, and yet seems to be vanished into obscurity. His undertakings and contracts connected him to Belgian royalty, notable publishers, and administrators of renowned college institutions. Especially interesting are the items pertaining to his contribution to a memorial located in the Sint-Maartenskathedraal in Ypres [St Martin's Cathedral re-built in 1930] , including a photograph of the tablet designed by James and accompanied by his design description, two coats of arms printed true-to-size as they would be on the tablet, as well as two rare large press photographs of its unveiling on 21 May 1938. The tablet served to honour Albert I King of Belgium together with the British Armed Forces for the gift of the exquisite rose stained glass window mounted above the south transept door. James designed the nine-foot tall tablet, on which he hand painted the inscription, and which was unveiled by King Leopold III. It featured the coat of arms of Albert I, as well as the Arms of the British Army, the RAF and the Dragoon Guards. Some of James' dustjacket designs retained here include: Commodore Anson's Voyage Into the South Seas and Around the World, by Boyle T. Somerville, published in 1934; The Recollections of Sir Henry Dickens, published in 1934; The Daughters of George III, by Dorothy Margaret Stuart, published in 1939; War & Peace, by Leo Tolstoy, published in 1942 (Also with original book boards); The Heart of Jade, by Salvador de Madariaga, published in 1944. Other book and publishing related designs include: Four photographs showing the dedication leafs and front boards of a book issued by Great Britain's Postal Administration to commemorate the tricentennial anniversary of Norway's postal service and to celebrate the two nations' collaboration in a Universal Postal Union; A front wrapper for a 1934 issue of "Paris Salon Illustrated" magazine for artists. On two leafs are mounted 30 hand coloured drawings of heraldic shields, being the Arms of the University of Oxford, and twenty-nine of its colleges or halls, some examples of which include Pembroke College, St. John's College, Jesus College, Queens College, Magdalen College, and Campion Hall. A ticket of R. P. Gossop Limited stamped "Norman James" reveals a connection to the agency. [Reginald Percy Gossop (1876-1951) was a commercial artist specializing in graphic and landscape art, and is best remembered for designing posters for the Underground Group from 1925 to 1932. He started an agency for artists circa 1920. He studied at Birkbeck College in London, then at the Hammersmith School of Art.] Manuscript‎

‎THE DIARY OF AN ENNUYEE. From the Last London Edition.‎

‎341p. + Engraved portrait frontis. All edges gold. XLib. (24mo in 8's). Original full blue cloth binding embossed in gold and blind. Hardbound. Anna Brownell Jameson (1794-1860) was born in Dublin and after several moves with her family (including one stay above a bookseller) she settled in London. In 1820 or 1821, Anna was introduced to, and subsequently became engaged to a lawyer, Robert Jameson, the protege Basil Montagu, and a friend of Hartley Coleridge, Charles Lamb and Henry Crabbe Robinson. By June 1821, however, she had broken her engagement and had set off for Italy with the Rowles as a governess to their daughter, Laura. In 1825, she finally married Robert Jameson. Around the same time she wrote 'The Diary of an Ennuyee' which was originally published anonymously in 1826 and called 'A Lady's Diary'. The text was widely read as the actual travel biography of a young, heartbroken English lady traveling through Europe for the first time. The writer is suffering from an illness and a recurring melancholy that she often mentions and that often appears to impair her enjoyment of her travels. The last twenty pages of the text see the `writer' becoming increasingly ill and dying. Of course the book gained her a certain notoriety when it was revealed to be fictitious rather than strictly autobiographical. Curious little Civil War era edition. ** PRICE JUST REDUCED!! TRAVEL/2‎

‎archeologie van leren schoeisel in de middeleeuwen en nieuwe tijden in Vlaanderen : een chronologische, technische en typologische studie : analyse en interpretatie‎

‎, Spa-Uitgevers,, 2020 Paperback, 2 dln 547 en 251 pp. Rijk ge llustreerd. . ISBN 9789089320445.‎

‎Na de boeken over schoeisel van Goubitz en Volken volgt hier het derde grote standaardwerk over schoenen, maar dan specifiek over Vlaanderen. In totaal heeft Jan Moens 38 leerensembles onderzocht, waarvan er 20 voorzien waren van een absolute datering en de overige 18 gedateerd konden worden op ander vondstmateriaal. Methodologisch worden twee kenmerken ge ntroduceerd om schoenzolen te determineren, op basis van de gelenginsnoering en de zoolsymmetrie. Voor het bovenleder is een werk-typologie opgebouwd die rekening houdt met de bestaande typologie n van Goubitz en Volken. Zooltypen en neustypen willen veranderen in de door Jan Moens vastgestelde vijf tijdvakken. Sommige schoentypen komen maar in een korte periode voor, andere daarentegen over een heel lange periode. Primaire snijpatronen veranderen ook in de loop der tijd. Er wordt ook aandacht besteed aan de productieprocessen van schoenmakers en schoenlappers en waar deze beroepen hun activiteiten uitoefenden binnen de stedelijke context. Als vondstcomplexen voldoende grote aantallen zolen opleveren, kan gekeken worden naar de demografische samenstelling, de verdeling kinderen-volwassenen. Ook blijkt dat kinderschoenen vaak een kleine maat volwassen schoenen betreft, hoewel bepaalde typen meer in trek zijn bij kinderen. Het is een uitvoerige studie geworden waarbij alle mogelijke aspecten aan de orde komen. Leeronderzoekers hebben deze studie nodig mede door nieuwe inzichten en als aanvulling op de reeds eerder verschenen werken.‎

‎Middeleeuwse verhalen zijn nog nooit zo populair geweest. De graal uit de romans rond Koning Artur dook pas nog op in de Da Vinci Code. De onzichtbaar makende kap van de held Siegfried verraste met een onverwacht heroptreden in de Harry Potter-verhalen. Maar wie kent de originele heldendichten nog? Dit boek grijpt terug naar de bron en neemt het Roelandslied, Koning Artur, Walewein, Parzival, Tristan en Isolde, Eneas en de Nibelungen onder de loep. Hoe zitten de verhalen in elkaar? Waar komen ze vandaan? Hebben de helden echt bestaan? De auteurs duiken in de intrigerende overlevingsgeschiedenis van de Europese ridderromans. Manuscripten, monumenten, film- en operascenes en fragmenten uit stripverhalen: prachtige illustraties brengen het eeuwenoude erfgoed echt tot leven.‎
