Pictorial Wraps. Condition: Fine. First Edition. Three captivating stories for upper primary school age to adult by Australian primary school teacher David Eckersall. The three stories contained in this volume are: Sara's Shadow / Blue Eyes / Patchy. About the author: "David Eckersall is the proud father of two adult sons, Joshua and Jacob, and lives with his wife Natalie on the outskirts of Melbourne on a small farm of approximately 16 acres. He has a love for animals and nature, and on his small farm has dogs, chickens, sheep and (some elusive) fish in the dam. Professionally, David is a Primary School trained teacher with more than 25 years' experience, working primarily as a classroom teacher specialising in Literacy and Maths. As a teacher he's always had a passion for children's literature and has had the privilege to share with his students the imaginations of Roald Dahl, Andy Griffiths, Pamela Allen, Paul Jennings, Morris Gleitzman and Mem Fox, just to name a few. His aim has always been to provide each child with a love of reading, especially those who find reading challenging or a chore. Throughout his late teens and adult life, he dabbled with writing fiction aimed at middle to upper primary school children. In 2018, he had the opportunity to take a break from teaching and dedicated much of this time to writing several stories. These stories are typically set in places throughout Victoria, Australia, and are strongly influenced by his favourite childhood places. His writing philosophy is a simple one. Tell an uncomplicated, engaging story where anything is possible." Printed in Australia. A LIKE NEW very nice clean tight solid softcover copy. 258pp. SB-21.…

Mr. Wegner has been Curator of Ship Models at the David Taylor Model Basin, Naval Surface Warfare Center, Carderock, Maryland, since 1980. He began his study of designer's hull models at the Smithsonian Institution in 1968 and is a member of the American Society of Naval Architects and Marine Engineers, the U.S. Naval Institute, and the Organization of American Historians. The purpose of this study has been to utilize an interdisciplinary team to examine new evidence in order to determine the identity of the present Constellation: was it built in 1797 or 1855? Recognizing the controversy as one of the most emotionally-charged debates in recent American maritime history, the team would not have exacerbated this subject had they not discovered fresh and important historical, artifactual and technological evidence. Is the Constellation the oldest warship afloat in the world? Or is it the last sail-only warship designed by the Navy. Responsible stewshardship for the irreplaceable ship afloat in Baltimore demands that there be a full understanding of its history. The study concludes that the frigate Constellation was built in 1796-97 and torn apart in 1853. In 1853-1855 a new sloop-of-war (Constellation) was designed and built and is the one preserved and displayed today.…

Teckning i tusch. Signerad: "Arvid Fougstedt". 19,5 x 26,2 cm (dagermått). Ej granskad ur ramen. Proveniens: Konstnärens kvarlåtenskap. Ingick i Erik Wessel-Fougstedts donation till Konstakademien, som genom försäljningar använts för att finansiera stipendier och utlandsvistelser för konstnärer. / Utställd: Ingick möjligen på debututställningen 1919, där såväl målningen som en teckning med samma titel ställdes ut. / Stockholm, Konstakademien, 1992, avbildad som frontispis på sid. 4 i katalogen, upptagen som nr 13 och daterad till omkring 1918. / Stockholm, Konstakademien, 2016/17 (Fougstedt x 2). Detta är ett av Fougstedts mest kända motiv, som han varierade i flera teckningar och några snarlika målningar. Temat betraktas ofta som programbild för den s.k. Nya sakligheten i Sverige, en klassicerande konstriktning där Fougstedt spelade en central roll. - - - Det har talats om "dämpad experimentlusta" inom konsten efter det grymma världskriget, och konstnärer som kunde resa ut i Europa igen sökte sig ofta tillbaka till äldre konst och inspirerades av såväl tidig renässans som av 1800-talets stora målare, inte minst Ingres, den "ideala verklighetens målare". Man sökte harmoni, avspänning och frid och resultatet var ett slags modern klassicism, visserligen sval och harmonisk med linjeteckningen som grund, men samtidigt modern, ofta med konstlat arrangerade scener eller en gåtfull och overklig stämning. - - - Stilen kallas ibland "Ingrism", eller "Le style ingriste", och ämnet för denna bild är just Jean Auguste Dominique Ingres (1780-1867), som studerade i Jacques-Louis Davids ateljé 1797-1801, och David själv, som bedömer sin favoritelev. Uppslaget kan ha kommit från den stora utställningen "David et ses élèves", som Fougstedt möjligen såg i Paris 1913. Konstnärskollegerna i bilden är sysselsatta med att måla en modell i antik dräkt, medan Ingres själv är vänd i motsatt riktning. Han sitter vid det lyrformade staffli som ännu lär finnas bevarat och arbetar på en oval duk, förmodligen med ett helt annat motiv än de övriga. Ateljéns hela uppmärksamhet är riktad mot honom: Till höger står den jämnårige eleven Eckersberg (1783-1853) och sneglar på hans duk. Modellen kan inte vända sig och titta, men man kan nästan se hur han lyssnar på samtalet. - - - Fougstedts olika teckningar och målningar på detta tema uppvisar smärre skillnader; exempelvis är modellen i en av målningarna en kvinna, och i en av skisserna visar Eckersberg sitt lantliga ursprung genom att bära träskor. - - - Målningen "Ingres i Davids ateljé" hade en framträdande plats på Fougstedts debututställning i februari 1919 hos Ciacelli på Strandvägen, och väckte rätt stor uppmärksamhet. Den omnämndes utförligt i en recension av Pär Lagerkvist, och kritikern Gotthard Johansson utpekade senare utställningen som impulsgivare för den svenska 1920-talsklassicismen. Senare forskning har tagit fasta på att klassicismen låg i tiden även på andra sätt, och att man exempelvis visade dansk guldålderskonst på Nationalmuseum 1917 och 1918. - - - Bengt O. Österblom ger en huvudsakligen personlig tolkning av målningen i sin monografi över konstnären från 1946, och betonar dess självbiografiska inslag. Fougstedt hade återvänt från Paris sommaren 1917 och kort senare flyttat in med sin familj i den sedermera välkända konstnärsbostaden på Heleneborgsgatan 4 på Söder. Samtidigt tillkom de första skisserna till målningen. Österblom ser projektet som ett slags uppvisning och programförklaring av en världsvan konstnär som återvänt till sitt hemland med rika erfarenheter i bagaget. Ateljén blir i denna tolkning Matisse-skolan i Paris, och den bredbent sittande Ingres är i själva verket Fougstedt själv. För Österblom handlar bilden bl. a. om stolthet och revansch. Jacques-Louis David motsvarar inte bara Mästaren / Matisse, utan även den far som vägrat att uppmuntra Fougstedts konstnärsbana, och som här förevisas vad sonen åstadkommit med en elegant och självmedveten gest mot staffliet. …
