William J. Walley was one of Grueby’s many followers in the Northeast. Working in his small pottery in West Sterling, Massachusetts, and inspired by Grueby’s leaf-based designs, Walley turned from historicizing shapes to vessels with richly modeled plant forms that are variations on Grueby’s inventions. Whereas the Boston pottery relied on decorators to apply thin ropes of clay to delineate the leaves, in many instances Walley created designs where the leaves are modeled with greater relief.

De staf van de Nederlandse Marine was tijdens de Tweede Wereldoorlog gevestigd in Londen onder leiding van admiraal Furstner (1887-1970). Op 14 mei 1940 vertrok vice-admiraal Johannes Theodorus Furstner vanuit Nederland naar Londen. Op 19 mei werd hij benoemd tot bevelhebber der Nederlandse zee- en marineluchtstrijdkrachten die zich in geallieerd gebied bevonden. De bevelhebber was feitelijk slechts betrokken bij personeelsbeleid, administratie, organisatie, onderhoud en nieuwbouw. De operationele leiding lag bij de Engelse Royal Navy. Op 27 juli 1941 werd Furnster minister van marine in het oorlogskabinet en bevelhebber. Op 23 februari 1945 werd J.M. de Booy minister van Marine en Scheepvaart. Furstner bleef de bevelhebber.

The Present State of Great Britain
Object type: print

Techniques: etching
Location: london
Artist: james phillips
Artist role: artist
Artist nationality: british
Artist dates: 1786 – 1809
Subjects: satire,american revolution,men,allegory,politics

Issued in London at the height of the American Revolution, this print summarizes the situation in 1779 from Britain’s point of view. As in traditional allegories, the figures represent specific nations, but their dramatic interaction anticipates the new kind of satire soon to come from Rowlandson and Gillray. John Bull stands at the center as an inattentive military volunteer dozing against a staff topped with Britannia’s attribute, the cap of Liberty. He is being attacked from all sides. An Indian, traditional emblem of America, takes Liberty’s cap in a reference to the Declaration of Independence by the Thirteen Colonies in 1776. A Dutch toper slyly steals John Bull’s purse while France is represented by an emaciated dandy restrained by a rugged Highlander, a reminder that Scottish volunteers helped make up for the British army’s poor state of preparation.

Artist nationality: french
Artist dates: 1827 – 1875
Subjects: men,self-portraits

Carpeaux was one of the rare sculptors who also excelled as a painter and draftsman, comfortably using a broad range of media to pursue his artistic vision. Here, he uses red, brown, and white chalks to produce a moody and masterfully modelled self-portrait. Carpeaux, like Courbet, was fascinated with his own image, creating at least 14 painted self-portraits and six on paper. This one is among his most haunting. Lit from above, with the artist’s features cast in shadow, it evokes Carpeaux’s psychological complexity, as both a genius and as an individual suffering from various maladies.

Paperweight
Object type: glass
Date: 1846 – 1855
Materials: glass
Location: saint-louis-lès-bitche
Artist: saint-louis glassworks (cristalleries de saint-louis)

This paperweight uses a traditional glass-making technique called millefiori to great effect. Italian for “one thousand flowers,” millefiori was first developed in fifteenth-century Venice. In the nineteenth century, French glassmakers revived the technique with a cultural twist. Arranged to evoke traditional French gardens such as the Tuileries in Paris, paperweights like this example brought a little of this landscaping magic indoors.

From the late 1840s to early 1860s, French manufacturers of fine glass and crystal—such as Baccarat (Alsace), Clichy (Paris), and Saint-Louis (Lorraine)—catered to the vast public enthusiasm for beautiful yet functional desk accessories. Paperweights, which were designed to secure loose papers against drafts, were among their most popular products.
