Antique Garden Ornament
Nimi
Abstract
Americans began to ornament their gardens in the early eighteen century , with the establishment of the great plantations of the Virginia tidewater and the estates of eastern Pennsylvania. These colonial landowners built handsome walls and gates , installed superb statuary and fountains, and arranged comfortable seating to give their grounds dignity and distraction. At the same time, New Englanders, too, began to beatify their gardens with elegant fencing, benches, and sundials. The creation of these early furnished gardens marked the beginning of a remarkable but little -known story, the history of American garden ornament.
The two hundred years between 1740 and 1940 witnessed the creation of many important American gardens. This book will discuss the origins and development of

Referaat "Chelsea Flower Show"

just in time for the Chelsea Flower Show to go ahead, on 25 May ­ postponed by one week and reduced to three days. The Gardner's Chronicle reported that it was larger than ever. As the experimental five-day opening in 1925 had proved unpopular with exhibitors, the Show became a four-day event in 1927, when an extra day, especially for RHS Members, was instituted. This was to be on a Thursday, and public were allowed in only from Wednesday to Friday. In 1929 Chelsea reflected garden styles that would be seen more than 50 years later: great set pieces in which hardware and design were as important as the planting itself. Although there were two more Shows before war was declared in September 1939, the 1937 one was the last great Show before the Chelsea Flower Show closed from 1940 to 1946. 10 After the Second World War, the RHS President Lord Aberconway told a gathering of

1660 to ca. 1725. Many examples of Baroque architecture and town planning are found in other European towns, and in Latin America.

HOUSE AND HOME tööleht

Finding cheap housing for rent is a real problem for the poor and unemployed. Huge increase in house prices have placed additional pressure on the renting sector as young people simply cannot afford to buy. In any case, flats are generally not very popular with the British, especially compared to the rest of Europe, though they are acceptable to many people in the centre of big cities. People prefer housing in the suburbs, and a garden of any size is considered essential. There is a growing tendency to move away from the hustle and noise of big cities, and large areas in the countryside are now being swallowed up by ‘urban sprawl’. The saying ‘An Englishman’s home is his castle’ is well-known and it illustrates the desire for privacy. A large detached house not only ensures privacy, it is also a status symbol. When surrounded by garden, it gives the required feeling of rural life.

Bridges presentation

Foreword Bridging rivers, gorges, narrows, straits, and valleys always has played an important role in the history of human settlement. Since ancient times, bridges have been the most visible testimony of the noble craft of engineers. A bridge can be defined in many ways, but Andrea Palladio, the great 16th century Italian architect and engineer, hit on the essence of bridge building when he said "...bridges should befit the spirit of the community by exhibiting commodiousness, firmness, and delight." In more practical terms, he went on to explain that the way to avoid having the bridge carried away by the violence of water was to make the bridge without fixing any posts in the water. Since the beginning of time, the goal of bridge builders has been to create as wide a span as possible which is commodious, firm, and occasionally delightful. Spanning greater distances is a distinct measure of engineering prowess. In terms of engineering, b

US-ART - American Art Revision Materials, I

American Art Revision Materials Colonial Period Portraiture. The first typically American paintings were illustrated maps but painting remained scarce during C17. There were 4 reasons: settlers came from backgrounds where art was unusual, Protestant attitudes was averse to imagery and painting, the English were not yet distinguished in visual arts and religious art was non-existent. The colonial period is almost entirely limited to portraiture (deemed as `useful' by settlers). These first paintings were made by limners and artisans without formal training and were based on what was popular in England during the Tudors. The paintings are technically unskilled, strongly patterned, flat and linear. Spanish painting in America was mostly religious. In C18, painting was a luxury and necessitated wealth that had by then become available. Portraitures remained at the forefront because the rich could thusly display their status and because it was less "frivolous" than other forms of pain
