Victorian Decorative Glass: British Designs, 1850-1914
Mervyn Gulliver Manufacturer: Schiffer Publishing ProductGroup: Book Binding: Hardcover ASIN: 0764315978 |
Book Description
This attractive and useful book presents thousands of beautiful hand-formed decorative glassware designs from British manufacturers, for export and domestic use, from 1850 to 1914. Detailed analysis and more than 850 color photographs and hundreds of carefully hand-drawn illustrations provide a visual feast to study and enjoy. Special sections present the remarkable range of profiles and patterns for rims, bodies (including applied motifs), and feet of glass items that can be used as an aid in the attribution of designs. The techniques used to decorate these glass items are described and illustrated. Wherever possible, designs are attributed to specific manufacturers. Clear illustrations show the Registered Designs for glassware recorded between 1850 and 1914 by seven major British glass manufacturers: Richardsons, Stevens & Williams, Stuart & Sons, Thomas Webb & Sons, Boulton & Mills, Burtles-Tate, and John Walsh. Classical influences of the 1840s and 1850s and concurrent designs, including free-flowing and naturalistic forms of the Art Nouveau period, are all present, reflecting the brilliant skills of these Victorian glass manufacturers.Customer Reviews:

Behind the Scenes, Moving Look at LIFE.......2001-03-27
"The photographs need no explanation . . . . I . . . write about the photographers . . . their methods of working." This book contains 18 new images from the original edition of this work.
Knowing that a big part of LIFE's appeal was its large page size, why would anyone ever create a softcover version with a page size much smaller than the original? Has cost-consciousness totally overwhelmed aesthetic concerns among photography publishers?
Despite the small pages, often even smaller images, and painfully placed center creases, some powerful photography survives as being worthy of your time. The caption notes could have been a little more detailed for my taste, and there was certainly space remaining for more material to have been included.
Here are my favorites (as reproduced in this book):
Earthrise, William Anders, 1969
Desert Bikes, Bill Eppridge, 1971
AIDS, Therese Frare, 1993
Canterbury Cathedral, Dennis Waugh, 1981
Bruno Sammartino, Theo Westenberger, 1985
Picasso, Gjou Mili, 1950
Swimming Baby, Lena Bertucci, 1985
Multiple Exposures, Tobey Sanford, 1982
Grief, Dmitri Baltermants, 1985
Jump, Phillipe Halsman, 1959
Unbrellas, Bruno Barbey, 1982
C.P.O. Graham Jackson, Ed Clark, 1945
Presidential Birthday, Michael Evans, 1982
Eclipse, Henry Groskinsky, 1979
Hand, Mike Wells, 1980
Buchenwald, Margaret Bourke-White, 1960
Andrea Doria, Loomis Dean, 1956
Streaker, Ian Bradshaw, 1975
18-Week-Old Human Embryo, Lennart Nilsson, 1965
Steve Martin, Joe McNally, 1992
Spielberg and Mother, Michel Bourquard, 1995
I would also like to single out the photograph looking down Dolly Parton's cleavage as one of the tackiest images I have ever seen in a photography book.
The best images are those that evoke fundamental human feeling like AIDS, Grief, Buchenwald, and C.P.O. Graham Jackson. Many of the photographs involving movement are technical tours de force such as Picasso, Dali, and Eclipse. I also liked the ones with humor, like Streaker. The sense of nature's awesome presence was profound and wonderful in Earthrise and Embryo.
After you finish examining the images that you can enjoy in this collection, I suggest that if you like photojournalism you start a scrapbook of images that move you. In that way, you won't have to rely on what a book designer does in the future to preserve wonderful photographs.
Appreciate the world around you by observing it more closely. In this way, you can deepen and extend your humanity . . . and your mind.

Get to know HDI's Executive Director up close and personal by reading his 'motivational autobiography', My Life; Ignored! Life Is Too Short To Ignore Yours! He will take you on a personal journey of his life growing up, the careers he chose, famous people he has met and the lessons he learned, his life as a family man, politician, musician, publisher, and author in an effort to inspire you to take action in your life even if you are, well, ignored!Rich wants you to read his autobiography because it will motivate you to write yours. He knows that if he is successful it will only help prove you can be too. He hopes you will approach your life story with a reinvigorated passion to fulfill your childhood dreams and your dreams for tomorrow. He knows we will all make an impact in this world just by matter of default. He wants to help you to make yours count!
You can't stop time but you can take action to make the best of your time. This is Rich s heartfelt and sincere attempt to use the examples of his life's achievements to motivate you to achieve your hopes and dreams.
Rich believes everyone wants to be famous (his premise, not yours) and he believes that success is defined by: making a positive impact during your time on this earth; having the guts to follow your dreams whether or not anyone else notices; to choose a path because it fills your spirit; to waste no time on excuses; and to be the ultimate role model.
We will all leave behind a legacy - not the Uncle Lou is walking around with his pants on backwards again type of legacy - but hopefully one we can be proud of. If you are looking to get re-energized in your life s journey, pick up a copy of My Life; Ignored! and get ready to be motivated. It's a really great book! Just ask his mom!

Condescending Rip-off.......2000-08-30
The information is overly simple and, in some places, quite outdated technically. Book 1, about starting a business, is not so bad, but you could certainly purchase a better book on the general topic of starting a business for probably less money.
Book 2 is simply technical trash. If you truly know nothing about making websites, you should probably either hire someone or else or use a generator, like GoLive Cyberstudio or even MS Frontpage. The little bit of HTML you might learn from this book isn't enough to get you anywhere, and furthermore, you could find a better HTML primer on the web for free (just run a search for "learn HTML").
