Lace, like silver or porcelain, can be classified by type and its date and place of origin often can be identified.

This new edition gathers fascinating and useful information in an easy to read and well-organized text covering needlepoint laces, embroideries, lace knitting and tatting, and bobbin laces made in Europe from the 16th century forward, including 19th century revivals. Each type is described and illustrated with hundreds of photographs and line drawings to show the technical characteristics and particular regard to the way one lace compares with another. A glossary, notes on cleaning, care, and conservation, and a price guide make this an essential reference for lace makers, designers, and lace collectors alike. Price: $49.95 |

TRACY, CHARLES CONTINENTAL CHURCH FURNITURE IN ENGLAND 20 COLOR, 350 B&W 8 1/2 " X 11", 300 P | |
|
This is the first book on the history of the virutally unknown phenomenon of the importation of Continental church furniture into England since the early 19th century. The taste for this furniture was fueled by the Romantic medievalizing enthusiasm of Augustus Welby Pugin and the Catholic Revival, as well as the eccentric whims of the Anglican Squiresons. It was clandestinely acquired mainly from France and the Low Countries by English antique dealers and other enterprising agents, including architects and the aristocracy, as a result of the catastrophic upheavals of the French Revolution. This setting for this nostalgic explosion is described, as well as an account of some of the more unusual patronage, and the story is pursued into the 20th century. |

TULKOFF, ALEC S. COUNTERFEITING THE HOLOCAUST: A HISTORI OVER 160 COLOR AND B 8 1/2" X 11", 88 PGS | |
|
The collecting of Holocaust artifacts can often result in an emotional and historical dilemma. Survivors and some militaria collectors regard these items as stained with the blood of Holocaust victims, and therefore should not be bought and sold. However, to honor the memory of those who perished and to keep a proper historical record, these items must be preserved. While a small contingent of collectors deal in Holocaust artifacts, the vast majority of Holocaust-oriented artifacts are purchased by individuals who intend to donate these items to museums. This book is a reference and resource guide to help determine the authenticity of these artifacts, and provides a detailed look at various Holocaust-related artifacts in a manner that follows the experiences of the survivors and victims. As an example; the Germans identified some individuals with outward markings, forced them to register, pressed them into forced labor, ghettoized, and eventually deported them to concentration camps or labor facilities, and due to the different times that these activities took place in conquered and occupied countries, they are distinguished here by the action rather than by a general timeline (for example, Jews in occupied Poland were forced to wear Jewish badges in 1939, while this did not occur in Germany until 1941). The Holocaust is a difficult period of history to examine, and although some of the photographs contained in this book are horrific in nature, this book in no way trivializes the magnitude of the Holocaust by discussing the collection and identification of Holocaust-related artifacts. The issue at hand is the callous disregard by those who profit from the Holocaust by manufacturing and selling counterfeit and fake items.Alec Tulkoff has been a collector of World War II militaria for the past twenty-five years. Over the past seven years he has taken an interest in Holocaust history and artifacts. During the past two years, while working at the SHOAH Visual History Foundation as a cataloguer, he compiled the information and materials contained in this book. As a cataloguer in the Foundation, he had the opportunity to hear hundreds of first hand Holocaust survivor testimonies. Tulkoff has worked hard in combating the vast amount of Holocaust artifact fraud that has spread in the collecting community and has posted a website dealing with this fraud and also publishes a quarterly newsletter on this topic.

V. THURO, CATHERINE M.V OIL LAMPS 3, VICTORIAN KEROSENE L 8.5" x 11", 304 PGS CLOTHBOUND | |
|
Collectors and students of kerosene lighting will celebrate the arrival of the long-awaited Oil Lamps 3: Victorian Kerosene Lighting, 1860 ? 1900. The word ?variety? best describes this entertaining and informative book that broadens the reader?s scope of knowledge of the kerosene era. Catherine Thuro?s two previous books on kerosene lighting are widely accepted as the definitive studies in the field. Now, in Oil Lamps 3, Thuro presents a broad selection of new examples and observations, again based on her painstaking research in primary sources such as manufacturers? catalogs, advertising, and patents. The continuing search by Catherine Thuro has brought to light many more examples of unrecorded lamps. They are showcased in hundreds of black and white and color photographs throughout these pages, with greater emphasis on diversity, trimmings, and the probable placement in the home. Lighting fixtures such as hall, hanging, or bracket lamps reveal that Victorian homeowners had an astounding selection from which to choose. The many catalog illustrations and advertisements serve not only to date lamps and perhaps identify their manufacturer, but they also give insight into marketing strategies and advertising techniques similar to present-day practices. Thuro illustrates many patented lamps, burners, accessories, and trimmings that have not been published in book form. Actual patent models are pictured and a list of many that have survived is given. This third volume is both a visual feast and a wealth of information for readers and collectors. Price: $39.95 |

VADNAIS, SCOTT U.S. CARGO AIRCRAFT FROM 1925 TO THE PRE OVER 200 BLACK & WHI 8 1/2" X 11", 160 PG | |
|
During the American Civil War, General Nathan Bedford Forrest stated that in order to win a battle, "you had to get there the firstest with the mostest". Today in military parlance the "C" designation means only one thing-getting there first with the most! Cargo aircraft are the backbone of today's military operations. From Operation Vittles to Operation Desert Storm, without the "C" planes the battles would have been lost. This new book is the definitive history of every cargo aircraft that displayed the American flag, from the commercial Douglas C-1 built in 1925, to the newest C-33 designation given to a potential commercial, off-the-shelf transport aircraft to supplement the C-17. The authors have attempted to trace the roots of each of the "C" aircraft. Bill Holder is also the auhtor of McDonnell-Douglas F-15 Eagle: A Photo Chronicle(with Mike Wallace), and One-of-a-Kind Research Aircraft: A History of In-Flight Simulators, Testbeds & Prototypes(with Steve Markman)-both titles are available from Schiffer Publishing Ltd. Scott Vadnais is an Air Force public affairs officer currently assigned to the 325th Fighter Wing. He spent four years at Wright-Patterson AFB working with aircraft acquistions and testing programs including the C-17. Price: $39.95 |
