Book excerpt: Excerpt from The William Hammer Collection of Greek and Roman Antiquities To pursue his studies in art he' resided in the south of Europe for several years at a time. It was during his first sojourn in Italy, in 1853-55, that he commenced to collect and study antiquities, an occupation that, until his death, continued to be his chosen pastime. But his studies extended beyond a mere diversion. He was an ardent student and the author of a scholarly treatise on antique clay lamps De Antike Lerlamper. The first edition of this work was published in Copenhagen in 1887. He was preparing an enlarged edition of it for the press at the time of his death. His desire to the last was to keep the collection together in its entirety and to add to it. For this reason he refused the offers that were made to him by several of the larger museums in Europe to purchase individual specimens particularly desired by them. At the time of his death Mr. Hammer left behind him a mass of miscellaneous manuscript notes - some of them mere jottings - descriptive of his collection. There was evidence that he proposed preparing a catalogue arranged on the plan of the Hand-book of the Royal Collection of Antiquities in Copenhagen. That arrangement has, therefore, been followed in the present instance. The work of translating and collat ing the notes has been done by Mr. Hans M. Wilder, one of the Assistants in the Museum. In addition to the collection of antiquities described in this catalogue, the collection of Mr. Hammer includes some nine hundred Greek and Roman coins of 600 B. 0, - 200 A. D., which have been arranged on view in the Numismatic Section. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Manual of Roman Antiquities Tm: intrinsic value Of Professor Ramsay's Manual is proved by the fact that, although written more than forty years ago, it is still constantly in demand, not only as a Text-book for those commencing the study of Roman Antiquities, but as a book of reference for those who have grown grey in the prose cution of such studies. The great light which recent excavations have thrown on the field of Roman Topography, however, necessarily left the section of the work bearing on this part of the subject behind, and the desirability of bringing it up to date was evident. Under these circumstances it was mutually agreed that the task Q of revising the Manual, and placing it once more an courant with existing knowledge, should be entrusted to Professor Rodolfo Lanciani, of the University of Rome. The connection which this eminent Topographer has had, for more than a quarter of a century, with excavations in and near Rome, the great number of works which he has published on the subject, and his command of the English language, all combine to justify fully his selection as Editor. Prof. Lanciani has almost re written the first chapter, and illustrated it with new maps and views. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This book was released on 2016-07-01 with total page 311 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The introduction of iron – and later steel – construction and decoration transformed architecture in the nineteenth century. While the structural employment of iron has been a frequent subject of study, this book re-directs scholarly scrutiny on its place in the aesthetics of architecture in the long nineteenth century. Together, its eleven unique and original chapters chart – for the first time – the global reach of iron’s architectural reception, from the first debates on how iron could be incorporated into architecture’s traditional aesthetics to the modernist cleaving of its structural and ornamental roles. The book is divided into three sections. Formations considers the rising tension between the desire to translate traditional architectural motifs into iron and the nascent feeling that iron buildings were themselves creating an entirely new field of aesthetic expression. Exchanges charts the commercial and cultural interactions that took place between British iron foundries and clients in far-flung locations such as Argentina, Jamaica, Nigeria and Australia. Expressing colonial control as well as local agency, iron buildings struck a balance between pre-fabricated functionalism and a desire to convey beauty, value and often exoticism through ornament. Transformations looks at the place of the aesthetics of iron architecture in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, a period in which iron ornament sought to harmonize wide social ambitions while offering the tantalizing possibility that iron architecture as a whole could transform the fundamental meanings of ornament. Taken together, these chapters call for a re-evaluation of modernism’s supposedly rationalist interest in nineteenth-century iron structures, one that has potentially radical implications for the recent ornamental turn in contemporary architecture.
