Download or read book Directoire Revival Fashions 1888 1889 written by Frances Grimble and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 563 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Directoire Revival Fashions 1888-1889 contains an in-depth selection of high-quality women's clothing patterns from the end of the bustle era. During these years, picturesque styles evoking the late 18th and early 19th centuries were popular. The silhouette progressively deflated from one with considerable back fullness and puffy draperies to the comparatively narrow one of the early 1890s. This book contains practical patterns for undergarments and morning wear; wrappers and tea gowns; skirts and overskirts; ensembles consisting of a bodice, skirt, and draperies; ensembles consisting of a polonaise and a skirt; house, street, and evening dresses; outfits for lawn tennis and riding; and outer jackets, coats, and wraps. The patterns are drawn from rare original issues of The Voice of Fashion magazine. They were used by both amateur and professional dressmakers to make up the mainstream styles of the day, and are very similar to patterns published by Butterick. These patterns are enlarged with apportioning scales, which are provided in this book, along with step-by-step instructions. Apportioning scales are special rulers that enable you to draft custom sizes, from queen size to doll size, without doing arithmetic. Many patterns in this book are accompanied by supplementary illustrations with detailed descriptions, drawn from Butterick's Delineator magazine. Each supplement shows optional style variations that can be produced by using flat pattern alteration techniques, or by substituting a garment section from a different pattern in this book. The descriptions include information on construction and fabrics. Selections from fashion columns in The Delineator and Harper's Bazar, and from a circa 1890 dressmaking manual, add information on construction and on style trends. Also drawn from The Delineator are instructions and illustrations for 34 trimmings and 85 accessories. The book's glossary explains period fabric names and dressmaking terms. Directoire Revival Fashions 1888-1889 is a rich pattern source for readers who recreate period clothing for theater and film; living history; Old West and single-action shooting events; steampunk and goth outfits; bridal parties; or dolls. It's a valuable identification and dating tool for costume historians and vintage clothing collectors. And it will spark ideas for fashion designers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Days of Discovery Contemplate with despair this little monster who was capable, in the presence of helplessness and urgent need, of quietly taking his stand with his hands in his pockets and propounding his unholy bargain. But the paint-box was at the time a sore point between us and why should I give away chances? Had the bargain been completed, the paint-box lent and the sufferer rescued I don't think the incident would have disturbed the friendly relations between the contracting parties. Archie was fairly had: he must have seen that. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Dandelion Days Classic Reprint written by Henry Williamson and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-18 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Dandelion Days My Dear Dakers, - F0r some time past I have been undecided whether to let you see this letter before you read the tale. My original intention was to attach it to the end of the story, lest its presence at the beginning might deter you from reading the book. Upon reflection, however, I have decided to be honest with you, to put my faith in your patience. You may remember myself coming to see you, a year after the end of the war, with the manuscript of a book hidden in an old army blanket. The blanket was not recognisable as such, since with considerable skill I had fashioned an overcoat from it the script I had written during three weeks of fierce mid nights and famishing morrows, following an almost intolerable pain. Nevertheless, you managed to read approximately words of my tale. The kindly encouragement you gave me, the hopes you aroused, and most of all, your friendship, were directly responsible for my eventual retirement to the remote country, there to devote all my time and energy to the recasting of my whole scheme and the selection of characters and episodes that would bear their part in its presentation. I realised many things that I might have to starve that most things that make youth enjoyable I must forgo. (however, I made some good friends in Devon, so I did not mind having but one meal a day). It was borne upon me that one volume could not possibly contain all I had to say, unless that volume were as big as the post-war Who's Who, and rivalry with such an immense work of fiction would be both fatuous and foolish. But we have discussed this on many occasions, and as you must be weary of it, I will not exhaust you with further reminiscence. Willie M addison, I imagine, is nearly eighteen years of age when he stands at the eastern edge of the spinney and bids fare well to the fields and the trees which he has known for so long.

Download or read book In the Days of the Dandies Classic Reprint written by Lord Lamington and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-06 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from In the Days of the Dandies The series of recollections which the late Lord Lamington began to contribute to 'Blackwood's Magazine' in January 1890, were brought to a premature close by his Lordship's much lamented death on 15th February. These reminiscences of a polished and brilliant society, which is little more than a tradition to the present generation, were so favourably received, and so widely noticed, that the present reprint will be generally acceptable. It must be a matter of deep regret that the rich and varied stores of memory whence these papers issued, arc now scaled by the decease of the noble Author.

Download or read book The Complete Works of Percier and Fontaine written by Charles Percier and published by Princeton Architectural Press. This book was released on 2018-08-21 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Known as "Napoleon's architects," Charles Percier (1764–1838) and Pierre Fontaine (1762-1853) were not only Emperor's official government architects, but two of the most celebrated teachers at the legendary Ecole des Beaux-Arts, responsible for developing the highly influential neoclassical Empire, or Directoire, style of design In addition to their renovations to the Louvre and the Tuileries, and construction of the Arc de Tromphe de Carttousel, they are best known for Empress Josephine's house at Malmaison, where they effectively invented the profession of interior design by crafting every detail including all the furnishings. This book collects the entire printed output of these two important architects and archeologists of Roman architecture, four volumes condensed into one, and serves as the definitive edition on their work. The Collected Works of Percier and Fontaine is introduced by critic and historian Barry Bergdoll, and published in association with the Institute for Classical Art and Architecture.

Download or read book Friend or Foe written by Alistair Horne and published by Weidenfeld & Nicolson. This book was released on 2012-05-03 with total page 485 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Britain's premier historian on France from Caesar to Mitterrand - to coincide with the centenary of the Entente Cordiale A century after the Entente Cordiale ended centuries of war and enmity between France and Britain, and two hundred years after the coronation of Britain's deadly enemy, Napoleon Bonaparte, as Emperor, Alistair Horne contemplates two thousand years of France. The Entente Cordiale meant different things to the signatories. For France it meant, quite simply, the certainty at last of an ally who would counter-balance the dread power of Kaiser Wilhelm II's vast and menacing Reich on her doorstep. For Britain the Entente signified an end to centuries of conflict with France, but it also meant inevitable involvement in a major European war. The modern rift over the Iraq war has emphasized once again that a slim channel of water may be all that separates the countries physically, but in temperament, in attitudes, in life generally -- and, particularly, in history itself -- the differences remain fundamental, and intense.
