# Cowan Pottery

The Cowan Pottery Studio was founded by R. Guy Cowan in Lakewood, Ohio, United States in 1912. Cowan Pottery Studio mainly produced architectural tiles, but also created a line of bowls and vases called "Lakewood Ware."

## History

R. Guy Cowan first opened Cowan Pottery Studio in Lakewood, Ohio in 1912 and the studio produced architectural tiles and Lakewood Wares. Cowan Pottery produced both artistic and commercial work in a variety of styles. His pottery was influenced by the Arts and Crafts Movement, Art Deco designs, Chinese ceramics, and modern sculpture designs. Shortly after opening the studio, Cowan closed the studio to serve in the army during World War I. Upon returning home after the war in 1920, Cowan decided to move his pottery studio to 19633 Lake Road in Rocky River, Ohio.
Once in Rocky River, the studio shifted its pottery focus towards commercial production. Cowan hired a small staff number of well-known Cleveland School artists and by the mid-1920s a number of established artists came to work in his studio: Elizabeth Anderson, Arthur Eugene Baggs, Alexander Blazys, Paul Bogatay, Edris Eckhardt, Waylande Gregory, A. Drexler Jacobson, Raoul Josset, Paul Manship, José Martin, Herman Matzen, F. Luis Mora, Elmer L. Novotny, Margaret Postgate, Stephen Rebeck, Guy L. Rixford, Viktor Schreckengost, Elsa Vick Shaw, Walter Sinz, Frank N. Wilcox, H. Edward Winter, and Thelma Frazier Winter. Some of Cowan's students were not trained in ceramics prior to starting in his studio and had to be taught how to work with their hands. With the exception of Guy Cowan, himself, Waylande Gregory designed more pieces for the pottery studio than anyone else. Among Cowan's finest pieces were three limited edition figures relating to dance, including "Salome" (1928), "The Nautch Dancer," (1930), and "The Burlesque Dancer," (1930). For the last two, Gregory made sketches from the side of the stage of the well-known Ziegfeld Follies star, Gilda Grey, when she was performing in Cleveland. In the 1920s, Cowan Pottery Studio was successful and popular. R. Guy Cowan even used his national recognition and awards to advertise his pottery. His pottery was sold across the nation and Canada. In 1931, Cowan's business started to feel the financial stress of the Great Depression. Cowan could no longer afford to pay his bills or his employees. The pottery studio closed in December of 1931. As of 2024, the majority of the buildings that comprised Cowan Pottery in Rocky River still stand firm. Inside Rocky River Public Library, there is a museum devoted to Cowan Pottery.

# Parlanti Foundry

The Parlanti Foundry was an art bronze foundry located at the Albion Works, 59 Parsons Green Lane in Parsons Green, London, and was in operation from 1895 until 1917.

## History

The foundry was established by Alessandro Parlanti (c. 1862—c. 1921) and Gaetano Rovini, who traded from 1895 initially as Rovini & Parlanti, art bronze founders, and then as the Bronze Art Foundry Syndicate. Parlanti had come to London in about 1890, after working in the lost-wax (cire perdue) method of casting at the Fonderia Nelli, Rome's leading foundry, and ran the London business until August 1905 when its management was taken over by his brother Ercole James Palanti (c.1871-1955).
Alessandro Parlanti cast work for sculptors including Alfred Gilbert, Alfred Drury and Henri Gaudier-Brzeska, and also taught at the Central School of Arts and Crafts; students including Alfred Turner and Eric Gill later used his foundry to cast their work.
After Alessandro returned to Rome with his wife and children, the foundry was managed solely by Ercole, who had worked alongside his older brother since about 1897. After 1917 Ercole sold the foundry, and moved a short distance away to set up a new foundry at Beaumont Road, West Kensington. During the early 1920s, his business prospered from commissions for war memorials and became a limited company in 1926. However, it got into financial difficulties and went into liquidation the same year. Parlanti later established another casting business in Winders Road, Battersea.

## Commissions

Castings undertaken at Parsons Green included Sir George Frampton's Peter Pan statue, George Frederic Watts' Physical Energy, Albert Toft's Boer War memorial (1906) in Birmingham's Cannon Hill Park and the Glenelg war memorial (sculpture by Louis Deuchars; unveiled 1920). Later castings include the sculpture on the Royal Air Force Memorial in London (1923) and the Sheffield War Memorial (1925).

# National Cycle Route 14

National Cycle Route 14 forms part of the National Cycle Network in North East England. It connects Darlington in County Durham with South Shields on the River Tyne. The route has currently (2016) a length of 86 miles (138 km). Much of it uses paths along disused railway lines and is thus free from motor traffic.

## Sections

The route is signed in both directions but is described here per Sustrans' publication in the direction from Darlington to South Shields.

### Darlington to Hartlepool

From Darlington to Middleton St George the route follows the former Stockton and Darlington Railway line. It continues north-east on a combination of on-road and so-called traffic free (i.e. without motor traffic) sections towards Stockton-on-Tees, passes the latter town on National Cycle Route 1 and continues to Hartlepool. More than half of the latter stretch is separated from motor traffic.

### Hartlepool to Durham

Again on a combination of on-road and traffic-free sections, the route turns away from the coast in a north-western direction along the former Clarence and Hartlepool Junction Railway, now known as the Hart to Haswell Walkway. From a junction east of Wingate, National Cycle Route 1 also uses the disused railway line. In Haswell, the cycle routes separate, and route 14 continues westwards to Durham, mainly on roads.

### Durham to South Shields

After heading west out of Durham, the route follows the Lanchester Valley Railway Path north-west to Consett. Continuing north-east mainly on disused railway lines, it crosses the River Derwent several times. At the mouth of the latter, it meets the River Tyne and continues along its southern bank eastward to South Shields. Most of this section is traffic-free except for some short parts along the Tyne.
Between Stockton-on-Tees and South Shields the route is also signposted as the Three Rivers Cycle Route, between Consett and South Shields it shares the way with the Sea to Sea (C2C) route connecting the west and east coasts of England.

# Eliza Buckley Ingalls

Eliza Buckley Ingalls (August 24, 1848 – February 9, 1918) was an American temperance activist. Active in local and national activities of the Woman's Christian Temperance Union (WCTU), Ingalls served as President of the St. Louis WCTU for 27 years (1891-1918); and as Superintendent of the National WCTU's Anti-Narcotics Department for 10 years.

## Early life and education

Eliza ("Lide") Buckley was born at Cherry Hill Farm, 10 miles (16 km) south of St. Louis, Missouri, August 24, 1848, where the early years of her life were spent.
She received her early education in the local public schools, later taking a college course in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
Interested in temperance work early in life, she was admitted by special dispensation into the International Organisation of Good Templars (IOGT) at 14 years of age.

## Career

In 1880, she married Fred H. Ingalls, a merchant in St. Louis.
   "Work against other narcotics has gone steadily on, but the cigarette habit is of such great importance that other things seem to sink almost into insignificance." -Eliza B. Ingalls
The WCTU was organized in St. Louis by Frances Willard in 1879, Ingalls becoming secretary. Later, she was made vice-president-at-large of the Missouri State WCTU, a position which she filled for 11 years when Clara Cleghorn Hoffman was its president. She was then elected president of the St. Louis District WCTU, and was continued in that office for 27 years.
She served as superintendent of the Anti-Narcotics Department of the National WCTU. Her special mission was the eradication of tobacco in all forms. She was assisted in her work by State superintendents, and the results were shown by the enactment of laws in nearly every State in the Union prohibiting the sale of tobacco to minors. She was determined and aggressive, holding to a strict accountability for each one to whom a task was assigned. Much of Missouri's legislation upon the subject was due to her efforts.
By appointment of successive governors of Missouri she served on the State Board of Charities for many years, and was one of the local commissioners for the National and World's WCTU exhibit at the Louisiana Purchase Exposition, held in St. Louis in 1904. Her incessant warfare against narcotics was effectively promoted by her skill in authorship and pictorial illustration. She wrote a series of pamphlets, presenting in telling form the testimonies of businessmen and physicians as to the effect of the cigarette habit in spoiling a business career and undermining health.

## Personal life

Contemporaries whom she entertained at her home included Frances Willard, Lady Henry Somerset, and Anna Adams Gordon.
Her last message to the women of the St. Louis WCTU, a few days before she died, was typical of her nature: "Give the women my love and tell them to push on." Ingalls died February 9, 1918, after a continued illness of almost three years. Nelle G. Burger wrote Ingalls' obituary in The Union Signal.
