Thirty separate sound sources hung from the trees in the Yard each playing the recorded voices of readers speaking in various languages. The voices told stories about place including a selection from Invisible Cities by Italo Calvino along with personal memories poems and folk tales. The work occurred each evening between dusk and darkness for a two-week period. As natural light fell white light cast horizontally from the tops of flanking buildings gradually took over from the setting sun catching the leaves of the trees. The work's magical effects were praised by the Boston Globe which listed it as the year's best art exhibition. The book consists of a series of responses to the work from the poetical to the theoretical reflecting the range of deep thought provoked by the experience of Canopy itself whether that thought was emotional or theoretical. This project evolved from an artist's residency organized and sponsored by five organizations within Harvard University: the Harvard University Art Museums the Office for the Arts at Harvard and Radcliffe the Carpenter Center for the Visual Arts the Department of Visual and Environmental Studies and the Graduate School of Design.

Elizabeth Gaskell 1810-1865 was an important proto-Feminist writer who often tackled unorthodox subjects in her novels. Cranford for example is an episodic book concerning a country village community of lower and middle class unmarried older women and the social changes coming to an industrializing Victorian Britain. "The greatest charm of Cranford which has kept it unfailingly popular is its amused but loving portrait of the old-fashioned customs and 'elegant economy' of a delicately observed group of middle-aged figures in a landscape" Oxford Companion to English Literature. "Elizabeth was an active humanitarian; her novels convey many messages about the need for social reconciliation for better understanding between employers and workers and between the respectable and the outcasts of society. Her writing was carefully researched and she took particular care in reproducing northern dialects accurately" Gaskell Society. Gaskell was part of a wide literary circle: she was friends with Charlottee Bronte and John Ruskin and clashed with Charles Dickens when he edited Cranford for serialization in the magazine Household Words. In this lovely copy are images by Hugh Thomson 1860-1920 famed at the turn of the century for illustrating works by luminaries including Jane Austen and William Shakespeare. The Austro-Hungarian-born Joseph Zaehnsdorf 1816-1886 trained with binders in Stuttgart and in Vienna before moving to Germany Switzerland France and eventually settling London. He worked for various shops before opening his own bindery in 1842. In the face of industrializing production Zaehnsdorf embraced craft and eventually gained recognition for his talent. He was known for his precise finish and elegant design. The firm would continue in his son John William's capable hands; it employed binders like Louis Genth Roger de Coverly and Sarah Prideaux. Family run until 1947 it was eventually acquired by Asprey of London in 1983 Gertz. Near Fine. Macmillan unknown

Wives and Daughters was first published in the Cornhill Magazine as a serial from August 1864 to January 1866. The story of Molly Gibson the only daughter of a widowed doctor living in a provincial English town in the 1830s and her ultimate attraction of Roger Hamley the younger son of the local Squire and her social superior. The final section of the book was unfinished at the time of Gaskell's sudden death in 1865 although she had related to a friend that she intended Roger to return and present Molly with a dried flower a gift Molly had given him before his departure to Africa as proof of his enduring love. Frederick Greenwood wrote the last section on these lines. However in the BBC adaptation of the novel an alternative ending was written in which Roger finds himself unwilling to leave Molly without speaking to her of his love and they marry and return to Africa together.

ref. 41760saying she had "hoped to have been able to get over to Halliwell Lane today to call on Miss Bathurst & explain to you that we are expecting some friends of Marianne's tomorrow night which will prevent our coming to you as we should much have liked; but I have been detained at home all day; and I must trust to our post being more speedy than usual in carrying this note out to Halliwell Lane. I heard of your return from Mrs James Heywood & I should have called sooner for I wanted to see you: but I have been completely knocked up by the smell of house-painting. In great haste." 3 sides 8vo.with some accounting notes on the blank 4th side presumably by the recipient no place no date but the accounts dated September On 30th August 1832 Elizabeth married Unitarian minister William Gaskell in Knutsford. The Gaskells then settled in Manchester where William was the minister at Cross Street Unitarian Chapel. Their first daughter was stillborn in 1833. Their next daughter Marianne was born in 1834. They had three more daughters. In March 1835 Gaskell began a diary documenting the development of her daughter Marianne: she explored parenthood the values she placed on her role as a mother; her faith and later relations between Marianne and her sister Meta. In 1850 the Gaskells moved to a villa at 84 Plymouth Grove and this letter is presumably from there. Mrs Scott is almost certainly Ann Scott d. 1888 wife of Alexander John Scott 1805-1866. In 1850 Alexander John Scott became "the first principal of Owens College later Manchester University as well as the professor of English language and literature and of moral and mental philosophy. Early in 1851 the Scotts took up residence at 2 Park Place Halliwell Lane in Manchester". When Gaskell says in her letter "I must trust to our post being more speedy than usual in carrying this note out to Halliwell Lane" she appears to be suggesting that this letter to Mrs Scott is being posted to Halliwell Lane. unknown
