Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Through the exceptional permanent collection at the Philadelphia Museum of Art, this book looks at arms and armor as art--from warfare to war games, from hunting to the pursuit of glory The Philadelphia Museum of Art's holdings of arms and armor are among the finest of their kind in the world. Presenting nearly 100 masterpieces from the collection, this lavishly illustrated volume includes complete armors and armor elements, swords, firearms and crossbows, staff weapons, horse equipment, and related accessories. Drawn for the most part from the princely armories of Europe, these objects represent the epitome of the armorer's art, and many are published here in color for the first time. The engaging text by Dirk H. Breiding summarizes the latest scholarship and discusses how the museum's collection--the core of which consists of a 1977 bequest by the distinguished connoisseur and scholar Carl Otto Kretzschmar von Kienbusch (1884-1976)--has evolved over the years. This volume reveals how arms and armor--uniting art, fashion, design, politics, and technology--can be seen as unique expressions of human creativity.

Download or read book London written by Peter Brown and published by Bright Sparks. This book was released on 2015 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: London. As seen through the eye of a unique artist who refuses to paint from photographs in the studio, instead painting every brush stroke, sometimes over many sittings, in the middle of London’s busy pavements under the gaze of the public eye. The book’s paintings take us on a journey into the city from its outskirts at Richmond, along the Thames past the bridges, Parliament and the London Eye to Tower Bridge. From here, we explore the ‘electric West End’ and ‘testosterone- driven City’. Peter’s passion for hustle and bustle attract him to areas such as Piccadilly Circus and Bank in the City. Not shy of actively engaging with the inhabitants of London as he paints, Peter shares some of his journal – recordings of conversations and chance meetings he has had. His deft skill at capturing perspective, light and movement is sure to delight art lovers, and lovers of London, wherever in the world they may be.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Handbook of Arms and Armor, European and Oriental, Including the William H. Riggs Collection It is, then, from an examination of good specimens of armor and arms of various periods that one real izes that they well deserve their place in a museum of art. And in this conclusion we need consider neither their historical value, as a means of picturing more accurately scenes and personages of known periods, nor their sentimental interest - which they possess to a degree rarely found in other Objects of art - nor their supposed mystical significance. In the last regard, we recall the myths of god-like armorers and enchanted arms, which belonged to all early times and to all peoples.

(6) Columns for Discount on Purchases and Discount on Notes on the same side of the Cash Book; (c) Columns for Discount on Sales and Cash Sales on the debit side of the Cash Book; (d) Departmental columns in the Sales Book and in the Purchase Book. Controlling Accounts.--The addition of special columns in books of original entry makes possible the keeping of Controlling Accounts. The most common examples of such accounts are Accounts Receivable account and Accounts Payable account. These summary accounts, respectively, displace individual customers' and creditors' accounts in the Ledger. The customers' accounts are then segregated in another book called the Sales Ledger or Customers' Ledger, while the creditors' accounts are kept in the Purchase or Creditors' Ledger. The original Ledger, now much reduced in size, is called the General Ledger. The Trial Balance now refers to the accounts in the General Ledger. It is evident that the task of taking a Trial Balance is greatly simplified because so many fewer accounts are involved. A Schedule of Accounts Receivable is then prepared, consisting of the balances found in the Sales Ledger, and its total must agree with the balance of the Accounts Receivable account shown in the Trial Balance. A similar Schedule of Accounts Payable, made up of all the balances in the Purchase Ledger, is prepared, and it must agree with the balance of the Accounts Payable account of the General Ledger." The Balance Sheet.--In the more elementary part of the text, the student learned how to prepare a Statement of Assets and Liabilities for the purpose of disclosing the net capital of an enterprise. In the present chapter he was shown how to prepare a similar statement, the Balance Sheet. For all practical...
