Contact seller4-star sellerHardcover. Condition: Good. No Jacket. 1st Edition. Manners, Customs, and Dress during the Middle Ages and during the Renaissance Period was written by Paul Lacroix and is "illustrated with fifteen chronolithographic prints by F. Kellerhoven and upwards of four hundred engravings on wood." The book was published by Chapman and Hall in 1874 and appears to be a First Edition though it's not specifically stated as such. This is a rebound ex-library copy and the book is in good condition with some library markings, yellowing pages, and a few pages the library put some tape on for tear protection. It's not a small book, but is absolutely beautifully done. The book is 7" by 9 3/4" and has 554 pages with a Table of Contents, a Table of Illustrations, and the fifteen full page, (most full color) chronolithographic prints, each protected by a tissue paper and not included in the page count. Great book! Thank you. F. Kellerhoven (illustrator).…

Provenance: Dame Alice Owen's School in Potter's Bar which was Founded 1613. Provenance Background: Dame Alice Owen's School has a long and distinguished history dating back to the foundation in 1613 with the unique tradition of giving of a small amount of beer money' to every pupil representing the school's long standing close association with the brewing industry and the Worshipful Company of Brewers Few schools owe their origin to a cow, a village maiden and an archer's arrow The cow was being milked in a field outside the village of Islington in the mid 16th century; the maid, Alice Wilkes accompanied by a young servant stopped to watch and try her hand in milking; the arrow from nearby butts, sailed across the field and pierced the crown of her hat, miraculously without injuring her Much impressed by her providential escape, she vowed that when rich enough she would do something for posterity to mark her gratitude Some 50 years later, Alice Wilkes, thrice widowed by a brewer, a mercer and latterly by Judge Thomas Owen, was a lady of considerable wealth Reminded of her vow by the servant, she established a school for 30 boy scholars from Islington in 1613 Arrows feature prominently on our school's crest, which is in itself largely identical to the crest of the Worshipful Company of Brewers; other motifs include barrels and hops Dame Alice Owen entrusted the administration of the school and its endowment to the Worshipful Company of Brewers which, for four centuries as Trustees of the Dame Alice Owen Foundation, has supported and encouraged our school After the foundation of the boys' school, a girls' school was built over two and a half centuries later in 1886, also in Islington, which eventually merged with the boys' school in 1973 This was then run as a mixed school until July 1976 when the transfer of pupils to our new location in Potters Bar, Hertfordshire was completed To this day, several roads on and around the site of the original school in Islington maintain names such as Owen Street, Owen's Row and Owen Fields Our new school in Potters Bar opened as a mixed comprehensive in September 1973 and we celebrated our 400th Anniversary in 2013.
