The earliest known American-made furniture dates from the mid-17th century, when life in the colonies was becoming increasingly settled. Many of these early pieces were massive in size and were based on styles recalled from earlier days in England. In general, furniture styles followed those of England, with adaptations, after an interval of about 15 years. Instead of shaped legs or feet, American case furniture had legs and feet that were simply downward extensions of the rectangular styles. Decoration consisted of carved flower motifs or lunettes (crescent shapes) and chip carved (executed with mallet and chisel) scrolls and leaves, occasionally highlighted by painting, mainly in black, red, and yellow; but the carving was flatter, less finished, and more primitive than its English predecessors. Turned (shaped on a lathe) split balusters stained to look like ebony were also applied. Joinery was confined to simple rectangular panelling with mortise and tenon joints. Oak and pine were the commonest woods.In view of the still-unsettled existence of the early colonists, chests assumed particular importance because of their portability. The Connecticut and Hadley chests were clearly variants, their carved leaf, flower, and vine ornament bearing a marked Dutch flavour. Important, too, in wealthier households, was the court cupboard for storing utensils and the press cupboard for storing clothes and linen. Trestle tables, which could be dismantled easily, were in everyday use; and the stretcher tableslarge rectangular tables with turned baluster legs joined by stretchersserved as dining or centre tables among better furnishings. Joint stools (small rectangular stools with four turned legs joined with stretchers) were the commonest form of seating, but Brewster and Carver chairs also came into use, the most popular chairs being simplified versions of English turned chairs. Chairs with slung leather seats of the Cromwellian type were used in more comfortable homes by the late years of the century. Most early beds had simple, low turned posts and plain, low headboards.Regional characteristics appeared at an early stage and are best represented in furniture surviving from the 17th century by the contrast between the chests from the Connecticut River valley mentioned above and the more austere varieties of the Massachusetts coastal settlementssometimes painted but characterized particularly by severe, geometric carved lozenges and friezes of overlapping lunettes., Stein & Day, 1983, 3, National Geographic School Pub.

We photograph every item. excellent condition VHS in original sleeve; A high-energy action adventure based on legend rather than historical fact finds Wyatt Earp (Kurt Russell) desiring to retire from law enforcement. With brothers Virgil (Sam Elliot) and Morgan (Bill Paxton), he arrives in Tombstone, Arizona intending to build his fortune. He discovers that long-time friend Doc Holliday (Val Kilmer) is there and that the town is run by a group of brutal outlaws called the Cowboys. Earp, frustrated with his laudanum-addicted wife, begins a romance with traveling stage actress Josephine Marcus (Dana Delany). Meanwhile, the Cowboys terrorize the citizens of Tombstone unchecked. When the town marshal is killed by a Cowboy, Earp steps in to prevent a lynching by an angry mob. He also refuses to hand the killer over to his fellows, beginning the enmity between the Cowboys and the Earp brothers. Virgil, overcome with guilt at doing nothing to help the Tombstone citizens, accepts the position of town marshal. With Wyatt and Morgan as his deputies, and the help of Doc, Virgil attempts to arrest several Cowboys, resulting in the famous OK Corral shoot-out. The Cowboys take revenge by ambushing two of the brothers and injuring Virgil and killing Morgan. The Earps leave town, apparently cowed. Wyatt returns, wearing the badge of a U.S. marshal, vowing to destroy every last Cowboy. He hunts them mercilessly, until the leader, Johnny Ringo (Michael Biehn) challenges Wyatt to a duel. While not regarded as an artistic masterpiece, "Tombstone" is considered the best of director George P. Cosmatos' prolific films. The all-star cast (including Thomas Haden Church and Billy Bob Thornton in small roles) delivers solid performances. Both William A. Fraker's cinematography and Bruce Broughton's stirring musical score are expertly designed for dramatic effect. Blood is shown liberally in several key scenes, but seems intended to show that there is nothing glorious in Wyatt Earp's actions, only necessity. He and his deputies take on the symbolism of the horsemen of the apocalypse -- dispensing judgement, and the Biblical references form a symmetry at the beginning and end of the film.

The three works in this volume established Racine as a playwright who enjoyed high favor both with the public and at the court of Louis XIV Born on December 20, 1639, Jean Racine was orphaned at a young age and raised by his grandmother, Marie des Moulins, who took the boy with her to the convent of Port-Royal des Champs near Paris after she was widowed. Racine's teachers at the convent were members of a reform movement known as Jansenism. Although they were suspected by the French monarchy of being theologically and politically subversive, these monks provided the young Racine with a good education, allowing him the opportunity to study Latin and Greek classics under their tutelage, a privilege most young writers could only dream of.From 1649 to 1653, Racine studied at Port-Royal. He then transferred to the College of Beauvais where he studied for two years before returning to Port-Royal to complete his studies in rhetoric. After turning 18, the Jansenists sent him to Paris to study law at the College of Harcourt. Here, Racine fell in with a crowd of "theatrical" types and decided to try his hand as a dramatist in spite of the fact that the Jansenists disapproved of the theatre. His first play, Amasie, was purchased by the Bourgogne company, but was never produced. However, as luck would have it, Racine was soon befriended by Moli who produced his second play, Thebaide, in 1664. Although Racine's next play, Andromache (1667), was also originally produced by Moliere's troupe, Racine was unhappy with the production and gave the text to the Bourgogne company--who was more skilled at tragedy--for a second production. The one element of Molieres production with which Racine was enamored was the leading actress, Thse du Parc. After seducing the young actress, Racine convinced her to leave Moliere's troupe and join him at the H de Bourgogne. Moli, who had kept the doors open for Thebaide even when the production was running at a loss, was deeply hurt by this betrayal and never spoke to Racine again.Racine went on to compose a string of successful tragedies, all of which would be presented by the H de Bourgogne. His next play, The Litigants (1668), a rare excursion into the world of comic satire, was adapted from Aristophanes' The Wasps. However, Racine quickly returned to the serious business of tragedy with Britannicus (1669) which chronicles the story of Agrippa, mother of the Roman emperor Nero, who begins to regret the decision to give her son power after he falls under the influence of an evil counselor named Narcissus. Iphigenia in Aulis (1674) is Racine's version of the events leading to the sacrifice of Iphigenia to appease the gods, and his masterpiece, Phe (1677), based on Euripides' Hippolytus, is a remarkable exploration of a woman's passion for her husband's son. Racine's other plays include Bnice (1670), Bajazet (1672), and Mithridate (1673).By 1677, Racine had achieved a remarkable amount of success for a playwright. In fact he was the first French playwright to live almost entirely off the earnings from his plays. And the role of Phedre was so popular that it quickly became the pi de resistance of practically every French tragedienne. However, Racine had managed to acquire a large number of powerful enemies, many of whom supported the older playwright, Pierre Corneille. These enemies were determined to destroy Racine's career and even went so far as to buy tickets for the opening night of Phe, only to leave their seats unoccupied, thus casting a chill over the performance. Racine was so wounded by such antics that, in 1677, he decided to retire from the commercial theatre, and accept the post of royal historiographer. Along with his friend Nicolas Boileau, Racine set about chronicling the reign of Louis XIV.After reconciling with the Jansenists, Racine--who had built quite a reputation for seducing young actresses--was provided with a pious wife who never read a single line of his plays and with whom he would have seven children. There is evidence, however, that Racine did not give up his philandering altogether. In 1679, he was accused of having poisoned his mistress and star actress, the Marquise du Parc. Fortunately for Racine, no formal charges were ever filed.In spite of Racine's retirement, his work for the stage was not quite done. Madame de Maintenon, Louis XIV's consort, had been somewhat responsible for Racine's retirement in that she had helped to secure for him the position of royal historiographer. Ironically enough, she would also be responsible for his return to the stage when she requested that he write two biblical plays for her girls' school at St. Cyr. Esther (1689) tells the story of Haman and the Jewish queen who risks her own life to save her people from certain destruction. And Athalie (1690) tells the story of an idol-worshipping queen who has a prophetic dream of her own death after coming to power by murdering the royal family. Both of these plays were well received, but they would be Racine's last offerings for the stage. He spent the remainder of his life serving various posts for the King and editing his complete works. On April 21, 1699, Racine died from cancer of the liver. The book is approximately 5 X 8 inches in size and contains 184 pages.

Our offering is one in a series of similar publications, directed at encouraging young people to stay on the straight and narrow path, and to avoid the temptations of sin. The author, Amy Catherine Walton, was a British writer of Christian children's and teenage books. This title was first published in England in 1877, and concerns a young girl, Rosalie, who works in a travelling theatre company. It is staple-bound in illustrated card covers, and the text is printed on inferior stock.

With brothers Virgil (Sam Elliot) and Morgan (Bill Paxton), he arrives in Tombstone, Arizona intending to build his fortune. He discovers that long-time friend Doc Holliday (Val Kilmer) is there and that the town is run by a group of brutal outlaws called the Cowboys. Earp, frustrated with his laudanum-addicted wife, begins a romance with traveling stage actress Josephine Marcus (Dana Delany). Meanwhile, the Cowboys terrorize the citizens of Tombstone unchecked. When the town marshal is killed by a Cowboy, Earp steps in to prevent a lynching by an angry mob. He also refuses to hand the killer over to his fellows, beginning the enmity between the Cowboys and the Earp brothers. Virgil, overcome with guilt at doing nothing to help the Tombstone citizens, accepts the position of town marshal. With Wyatt and Morgan as his deputies, and the help of Doc, Virgil attempts to arrest several Cowboys, resulting in the famous OK Corral shoot-out. The Cowboys take revenge by ambushing two of the brothers and injuring Virgil and killing Morgan. The Earps leave town, apparently cowed. Wyatt returns, wearing the badge of a U.S. marshal, vowing to destroy every last Cowboy. He hunts them mercilessly, until the leader, Johnny Ringo (Michael Biehn) challenges Wyatt to a duel. While not regarded as an artistic masterpiece, "Tombstone" is considered the best of director George P. Cosmatos' prolific films. The all-star cast (including Thomas Haden Church and Billy Bob Thornton in small roles) delivers solid performances. Both William A. Fraker's cinematography and Bruce Broughton's stirring musical score are expertly designed for dramatic effect. Blood is shown liberally in several key scenes, but seems intended to show that there is nothing glorious in Wyatt Earp's actions, only necessity. He and his deputies take on the symbolism of the horsemen of the apocalypse -- dispensing judgement, and the Biblical references form a symmetry at the beginning and end of the film.

The three works in this volume established Racine as a playwright who enjoyed high favor both with the public and at the court of Louis XIV Born on December 20, 1639, Jean Racine was orphaned at a young age and raised by his grandmother, Marie des Moulins, who took the boy with her to the convent of Port-Royal des Champs near Paris after she was widowed. Racine's teachers at the convent were members of a reform movement known as Jansenism. Although they were suspected by the French monarchy of being theologically and politically subversive, these monks provided the young Racine with a good education, allowing him the opportunity to study Latin and Greek classics under their tutelage, a privilege most young writers could only dream of.From 1649 to 1653, Racine studied at Port-Royal. He then transferred to the College of Beauvais where he studied for two years before returning to Port-Royal to complete his studies in rhetoric. After turning 18, the Jansenists sent him to Paris to study law at the College of Harcourt. Here, Racine fell in with a crowd of "theatrical" types and decided to try his hand as a dramatist in spite of the fact that the Jansenists disapproved of the theatre. His first play, Amasie, was purchased by the Bourgogne company, but was never produced. However, as luck would have it, Racine was soon befriended by Moli who produced his second play, Thebaide, in 1664. Although Racine's next play, Andromache (1667), was also originally produced by Moliere's troupe, Racine was unhappy with the production and gave the text to the Bourgogne company--who was more skilled at tragedy--for a second production. The one element of Molieres production with which Racine was enamored was the leading actress, Thse du Parc. After seducing the young actress, Racine convinced her to leave Moliere's troupe and join him at the H de Bourgogne. Moli, who had kept the doors open for Thebaide even when the production was running at a loss, was deeply hurt by this betrayal and never spoke to Racine again.Racine went on to compose a string of successful tragedies, all of which would be presented by the H de Bourgogne. His next play, The Litigants (1668), a rare excursion into the world of comic satire, was adapted from Aristophanes' The Wasps. However, Racine quickly returned to the serious business of tragedy with Britannicus (1669) which chronicles the story of Agrippa, mother of the Roman emperor Nero, who begins to regret the decision to give her son power after he falls under the influence of an evil counselor named Narcissus. Iphigenia in Aulis (1674) is Racine's version of the events leading to the sacrifice of Iphigenia to appease the gods, and his masterpiece, Phe (1677), based on Euripides' Hippolytus, is a remarkable exploration of a woman's passion for her husband's son. Racine's other plays include Bnice (1670), Bajazet (1672), and Mithridate (1673).By 1677, Racine had achieved a remarkable amount of success for a playwright. In fact he was the first French playwright to live almost entirely off the earnings from his plays. And the role of Phedre was so popular that it quickly became the pi de resistance of practically every French tragedienne. However, Racine had managed to acquire a large number of powerful enemies, many of whom supported the older playwright, Pierre Corneille. These enemies were determined to destroy Racine's career and even went so far as to buy tickets for the opening night of Phe, only to leave their seats unoccupied, thus casting a chill over the performance. Racine was so wounded by such antics that, in 1677, he decided to retire from the commercial theatre, and accept the post of royal historiographer. Along with his friend Nicolas Boileau, Racine set about chronicling the reign of Louis XIV.After reconciling with the Jansenists, Racine--who had built quite a reputation for seducing young actresses--was provided with a pious wife who never read a single line of his plays and with whom he would have seven children. There is evidence, however, that Racine did not give up his philandering altogether. In 1679, he was accused of having poisoned his mistress and star actress, the Marquise du Parc. Fortunately for Racine, no formal charges were ever filed.In spite of Racine's retirement, his work for the stage was not quite done. Madame de Maintenon, Louis XIV's consort, had been somewhat responsible for Racine's retirement in that she had helped to secure for him the position of royal historiographer. Ironically enough, she would also be responsible for his return to the stage when she requested that he write two biblical plays for her girls' school at St. Cyr. Esther (1689) tells the story of Haman and the Jewish queen who risks her own life to save her people from certain destruction. And Athalie (1690) tells the story of an idol-worshipping queen who has a prophetic dream of her own death after coming to power by murdering the royal family. Both of these plays were well received, but they would be Racine's last offerings for the stage. He spent the remainder of his life serving various posts for the King and editing his complete works. On April 21, 1699, Racine died from cancer of the liver. The book is approximately 5 X 8 inches in size and contains 184 pages.
