Black victorians : black people in British art, 1800-1900 /edited by Jan Marsh. "Black Victorians brings together over 100 images depicting black figures, to reveal the diversity of representation within nineteenth-century visual culture and to foreground the 'forgotten' presence of people of African descent in Victorian British art. The range of images is broad, from pictures of soldiers and sailors in Britain's armed forces and men and women in genre scenes to portraits of entertainers and political refugees and studies of artists' models. Notable individuals featured include actor Ira Aldridge, Crimean heroine Mary Seacole, the Queen's god-daughter Sarah Bonetta Davies, composer Samuel Coleridge-Taylor and Abolitionist leader Frederick Douglass. In addition to the fine arts of painting, drawing and sculpture, the selection includes photography, popular illustration, caricature and ephemera, which provide a cultural context for the portraits and subject pictures, as well as presenting black figures as members of British society in everyday settings."--Provided by the publisher. 2005. • BOOK • 1 copy available. 7.035/.036"180/190"(41)

At the turn of the centuries : an anniversary portrait of the marines in the Royal Navy of 1700, 1800 "The year 2000 marks the fourth turn of the century since the creation of a maritime regiment in 1664. The first turn, in 1700, found the maritime regiments in the throes of disbandment following peace-time defence cuts. Shortage of funds and poor accounting prolonged the process and left some officers imprisoned for debt. At the next turn, in 1800, there were some 20,000 marines. With the French and Spanish fleets bottled up in their ports, after being severely mauled at Cape St Vincent and the Nile, the Fleet marines were engaged in raids and land battles from Brittany to Egypt. To John Jervis, Earl St Vincent, their prime value was to ensure loyalty and discipline within his Channel Fleet. The year 1900 found the Royal Navy again in the ascendancy and some 20,000 marines were now essential to the manning of the main armament in the expanding Battle Fleet. In the wars of that year, however, while there was no challenge to British supremacy at sea, the contribution of sailors and marines in the land battles with Boers and 'Boxers' was crucial."--Provided by the publisher. 2000 • BOOK • 1 copy available. 355.353.4"17/19"

Re-inventing the ship : science, technology and the maritime world, 1800-1918 /edited by Don Leggett "Ships have histories that are interwoven with the human fabric of the maritime world. In the long nineteenth century these histories revolved around the re-invention of these once familiar objects in a period in which Britain became a major maritime power. This multi-disciplinary volume deploys different historical, geographical, cultural and literary perspectives to examine this transformation and to offer a series of interconnected considerations of maritime technology and culture in a period of significant and lasting change. Its ten authors reveal the processes involved through the eyes and hands of a range of actors, including naval architects, dockyard workers, commercial shipowners and Navy officers. By locating the ship's re-invention within the contexts of builders, owners and users, they illustrate the ways in which material elements, as well as scientific, artisan and seafaring ideas and practices, were bound together in the construction of ships' complex identities."--from Amazon. 2012. • BOOK • 1 copy available. 629.12"18/19"

Brass from the past : brass made, used and traded from prehistoric times to 1800 /Vanda Morton "Brass from the Past is not only a history of the use and production of brass, but more broadly an insight into the journey of this important metal in the context of a changing and modernising world. The book follows the evolution of brass from its earliest forms around 2500 BC through to industrialised production in the eighteenth century. The story is told in the context of the people, economies, cultures, trade and technologies that have themselves defined the alloy and its spread around the world. It explores innovations, such as the distillation of zinc, that have improved the quality and ease of production. From national or religious priorities to exhaustion of raw material supplies, the themes from the past are echoed in our own world today. In the later centuries, the book shines a light on some of the more personal aspects of people, businesses and relationships that have influenced industry and its progress. Above all the book reflects the enthusiasm, not just of the author, but of all brass enthusiasts across the world. The search for information has involved scrambling down Bohemian ravines, stumbling over brass-works debris under trees, and studying pre-civil-war artefacts in Virginia. Academics and experts from across the world have provided information, from China to Qatar and the USA to the Czech Republic. Brass is a strong and attractive metal, which has been used to create items of great beauty and utility. It is hoped that the reader will come to value the qualities of this material which has become a passion for so many people around the world."--Provided by the publisher. 2019. • BOOK • 1 copy available. txt

The art of science : Nicolas Baudin's voyagers 1800 - 1804 /edited by Jean Fornasiero, Lindl Lawton and "It was one of the most lavishly equipped scientific expeditions ever to leave Europe. At the dawn of the nineteenth century, French navigator Nicolas Baudin led two ships carrying 22 scientists and more than 230 officers and crew on a three-and-a-half-year voyage to the 'Southern Lands', charting coasts, studying the natural environment and recording encounters with indigenous peoples. Inspired by the Enlightenment's hunger for knowledge, Baudin's expedition collected well in excess of 100,000 specimens, produced more than 1500 drawings and published the first complete chart of Australia. Baudin's artists, Charles-Alexandre Lesueur and Nicolas-Martin Petit, painted a series of remarkable portraits of Aboriginal people and produced some of the earliest European views of Australian fauna. An integral part of the French scientific project, these exquisite artworks reveal the sense of wonder this strange new world inspired."--Provided by the publisher. 2016. • BOOK • 1 copy available. 910.4(94)"1800/1804"
