Paperweights (Collectors' pieces, No. 13)

Cassell

This series of handbooks, "Collectors' Pieces," is intended for the reader who has limited knowledge of the particular subject, perhaps culled from visits to museums, but who may be encouraged to start a collection of the less expensive pieces. Each volume deals with the subject historically and – where applicable - biographically, and explains the processes of manufacture in simple terms. The reader is told where he may see the rarer pieces, and, to help him in identification, a list of marks is given where appropriate. This volume deals with Toby Jugs - “Toby” being one particular character in the very wide field of what has been rather grandly called anthropomorphic pottery – jugs made in the likeness of a human being. The character in this case is Toby Fillpot, and he came into existence in England somewhere in the second half of the eighteenth century. Further history and background of this figure are explored in this volume.

Toby jugs (Collectors' pieces, 16)

Although there are a large number of books on objets d'art available in a higher price range, there is very little to suit the enthusiast of more modest means. This series of handbooks, "Collectors' Pieces," answers that need. These books are intended for the reader who has limited knowledge of the subject, perhaps culled from visits to museums, but who may be encouraged to start a collection of the less expensive pieces. Each volume deals with the subject historically and, where applicable, biographically, and explains the processes of manufacture in simple terms. The reader is told where he may see the rarer pieces, and to help him in identification, a list of marks is given where appropriate. In this little book, the author has tried to gather together the main facts about oriental lacquer from the standpoint of the Western collector, using the Chinese or Japanese terms in most general use here.

Nineteenth Century Collections Online: European Literature, 1790-1840: The Corvey Collection includes the full-text of more than 9,500 English, French and German titles. The collection is sourced from the remarkable library of Victor Amadeus, whose Castle Corvey collection was one of the most spectacular discoveries of the late 1970s. The Corvey Collection comprises one of the most important collections of Romantic era writing in existence anywhere -- including fiction, short prose, dramatic works, poetry, and more -- with a focus on especially difficult-to-find works by lesser-known, historically neglected writers. The Corvey library was built during the last half of the 19th century by Victor and his wife Elise, both bibliophiles with varied interests. The collection thus contains everything from novels and short stories to belles lettres and more populist works, and includes many exceedingly rare works not available in any other collection from the period. These invaluable, sometimes previously unknown works are of particular interest to scholars and researchers. European Literature, 1790-1840: The Corvey Collection includes: * Novels and Gothic Novels * Short Stories * Belles-Lettres * Short Prose Forms * Dramatic Works * Poetry * Anthologies * And more Selected with the guidance of an international team of expert advisors, these primary sources are invaluable for a wide range of academic disciplines and areas of study, providing never before possible research opportunities for one of the most studied historical periods.
