Bloomsbury Publishing PLC British Railway Tickets Shire Library
Book SynopsisIn 1838 Thomas Edmondson, an employee of the fledgling Newcastle & Carlisle Railway, revolutionised the ticket issuing process in Britain and left an enduring legacy: the Edmondson ticket. Purchased as proof of the contract between passenger and railway company, the ticket was a receipt, travel pass and an ephemeral record of almost every train journey ever taken in the British Isles, reflecting the nostalgia of the railways and a period of history when the movement of millions of people brought together England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales. The railways printed millions of tickets for every conceivable journey and category of passenger. Most were destroyed after use, but remarkably many survive, in the care of libraries, museums and collectors, and form the basis of a fascinating hobby.Table of Contents?Introduction / The Edmondson Ticket and Railway Travel in Britain / Types of Ticket / How Tickets Tell the Story of a Railway / Modern Tickets / Collecting Railway Tickets / Further Information / Index

Pitch Publishing Ltd Fully Programmed: The Lost World of Football
Book SynopsisThere's far more to vintage football programmes than optimistic manager's notes, unreliable teamsheets and grudging opposition 'pen pictures'. Before the era of the standardised corporate brochure, every club's programme had a different, unique personality, and played its part in the precious ritual of going to the match. Last weekend's action shots provided a foretaste of the excitement; the A-Z scoresheet provided a live lookout on the rest of the League, while 'At Home With - ' provided a peephole into a star's domestic life. Remember the allure of the Souvenir Shop ads? Football League Review centrespreads? 'Girl of the Match'? From the 'ground picture' cover era through the 'groovy' and 'colour action' phases to the dawn of clipart, programmes from our nostalgic 60s-90s Golden Age amount to a (slightly crumpled) pocket history of graphic design. Packed with pictures and memories, Fully Programmed offers an irresistible window back into more innocent times.

Pitch Publishing Ltd Six Stickers: A Journey to Complete an Old
Book SynopsisAdam Carroll-Smith never completed a football sticker album as a kid. Try as he might, he was always a few stickers short. Six Stickers tells the story of Carroll-Smith's bid to complete his childhood album and rediscover his love for the game. After uncovering one of his long-lost, almost-finished albums, he decided now was the time to break that duck. Disillusioned and out of love with the modern game, he attempts to track down and photograph the six players missing from his Premier League 1996 sticker book. Featuring previously unpublished interviews with the subjects of the book, Carroll-Smith looks back at their time in football and how their lives have developed since; he also looks back at a time when English football was going through a transitional phase, prior to Euro 96 and at the dawn of the modern era, and examines the changes of the last 15 years.

Scala Arts & Heritage Publishers Ltd European Fans: The Untold Story
Book SynopsisThroughout history, fans have had numerous roles: personal items to cool the user, tools for religious and ceremonial events, symbols of royal power and authority or important fashion accessories. As practical, symbolic and decorative objects, they are the meeting point of multiple arts. This book focuses on European fans made in the French Rococo style in the 18th century and the Rococo Revival style that emerged in the 19th century. Sixty-six superb examples, selected from the Eurus Collection in South Korea, offer a glimpse into the lives of European royalty and aristocracy, including their aesthetic preferences, ideals and views on nature, and demonstrate the intermingling of cultures in the newly emerging painting and craft styles which resulted from trade between Europe and the East. This beautifully illustrated book explores the fans’ thematic and stylistic aspects as well as their assembly and production and invites the reader to discover their untold stories.

Taschen GmbH The Book of Bibles. 40th Ed.
Book SynopsisIn the beginning was the word, and in the Middle Ages were kings, princes, and high-ranking religious members whose wealth and influence produced illustrated bibles of extraordinary craftsmanship. This edition brings together 50 of the finest medieval bible manuscripts from the Austrian National Library. With examples from every epoch of the Middle Ages, the collection explores visualizations of the bible in various theological and historical contexts. In impeccable reproduction quality, these stunning images may be appreciated as much as art historical treasures as they are important religious artifacts. Texts by Andreas Fingernagel, Stephan Füssel, Christian Gastgeber, and a team of 15 scientific authors describe each manuscript in detail, exploring both the evolution of the Bible and the medieval understanding of history. A glossary of important terms is also included so that those not versed in bible history can enjoy the texts as well.Trade Review“Here is the entire creative diversity of the artists of the Middle Ages, each with their unique genius and spiritual sensibility.” * Le Nouvel Echo *“A stunning reminder of a time when the word of God inspired images of astonishing luminosity and daunting levels of physical sacrifice.” * The Independent *"This treasure trove is enough to make a heathen turn to God." * The Independent *

Book SynopsisTrade Review"The wealth of precise and new historical information in this study is truly impressive. Radway manages to concretize these albums for us, providing invaluable archival and historical information that helps us fully understand them."—Emine Fetvaci, author of The Album of the World Emperor: Cross-Cultural Collecting and the Art of Album Making in Seventeenth-Century Istanbul"With the Alba amicorum from the German house in Constantinople, Robyn Radway has discovered a treasure trove of historical material that offers stunning insights into not only the symbolic world of the Ottoman empire and its material culture of book making, but also the networking practices of German travellers. An incredibly rich book filled to the brim with marvellous illustrations."—Barbara Stollberg-Rilinger, Institute for Advanced Study, Berlin."Robyn Dora Radway's book is an important contribution to the cultural history of Early Modern Europe. Brimming with erudtion, copiously illustrated, and engagingly written, it illuminates multiple aspects of a hitherto obscure but significant site, the Central European residence in Ottoman Istabul. Assembling a wide range of both visual and textual material, it demonstrates a wide range of inter- and intra-imperial interchanges that existed but have been overshadowed by histories of conflict and antagonisms."—Thomas DaCosta Kaufmann, Frederick Marquand Professor of Art and Archaeology, Princeton UniversityTable of ContentsAcknowledgmentsNote on Translation and TransliterationList of AbbreviationsIntroduction1.

University of Toronto Press Medieval Manuscripts for Mass and Office
Book SynopsisMany books discuss the theology and doctrine of the medieval liturgy: there is no dearth of information on the history of the liturgy, the structure and development of individual services, and there is much discussion of specific texts, chants, and services. No book, at least in English, has struggled with the difficulties of finding texts, chants, or other material in the liturgical manuscripts themselves, until the publication of Medieval Manuscripts for Mass and Office in 1982.Encompassing a period of several centuries, ca 1200-1500, this book provides solutions for such endeavours. Although by this period the basic order and content of liturgical books were more or less standardized, there existed hundreds of different methods of dealing with the internal organisation and the actual writing of the texts and chants on the page. Generalization becomes problematic; the use of any single source as a typical example for more than local detail is impossible. Taking for
