<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Be prepared to do some homework</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">before contacting a dealer. An email</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">with the following information is </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">generally needed to prepare the dealer.</span><br />
<br />
<h2>
Dos:</h2>
<span style="font-size: large;">a) A clear photo of your item.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">b) A close up of signatures, if any.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">c) The size of the image.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">d) The provenance if available.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">e) Any information you may have </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> learned about the piece.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Educating yourself is key!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<h2>
Donts:</h2>
<span style="font-size: large;">a) Do not suggest a retail markup </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> price, this is up to the dealer to decide.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">b) Do not contact the dealer under the guise</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> of asking for an appraisal when your</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> intent is to sell the item. You will almost</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> never make a sale to a dealer doing this.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">c) Do not suggest comparables unless you</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> have expert knowledge in this area.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Selling to a dealer can be a positive experience</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">and a good learning exercize for both parties.</span><br />

Paint was applied to the openings of the template, brush marks were often evident.<br />
<br />
Even though pochoirs from the 1920s are not NEW, they feel FRESH! The explosion<br />
of colours and mixing of designs is right on TREND. We see them featured on blogs<br />
and on Pinterest all the time.<br />
<br />
Pochoir prints can easily be mixed with contempory works of art. Their strength of<br />
image compliments other mediums. A set of 2 or more usually works best to create<br />
a statement wall. A set of six creates the WOW factor.<br />
<br />
FRAMING YOUR POCHOIRS<br />
<br />
Frame simply. These images speak for themselves, frames should not dominate.<br />
White mats and white frames work well as do black or muted silver frames also<br />
with white mats. Do not forget to add ultra-violet control glass to prevent fading.<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
Introducing our NEWEST series of prints!<br />
<br />
Vibrant pochoir prints by Edouard Benedictus (1879-1930).<br />
This multitalented French designer and artist produced 'Nouvelles Variations' in 1925 Paris, 20 plates illustrating 75 decorative designs for textiles and wallpapers. The colours are vibrant and dense. Many are highlighted with gold and silver paints.<br />
Benedictus drew inspiration from the raging Art Deco period,<br />
Cubism and general deconstruction of images to basic, block like patterns.<br />

Also ask the framer to outline their work plan before the job begins.<br />
<br />
Here are four questions you should be asking before the framer before hiring.<br />
<br />
1. How will my item be mounted or suspended? Improper techniques can cause irreversable damage such as breakage or slippage. All items should be removable from mounting.<br />
<br />
2. What type of backers or glass will be used? In many cases non-acidic backers and ultra-violet control glass are necessary to prevent fading and acidification of papers and objects.<br />
<br />
3. What steps are needed to complete the plan? Does the item need specialist cleaning/stretching or restoration. The individuals providing these services also must be also be expert in their field.<br />
<br />
4. How long will the process take? It is important not to rush the framer as quality work takes time. However most framers will give you a reasonable time frame of 2-4 weeks depending on the complexity of your project.<br />
<br />

The Phillips Club on the upper west side was our home base for the 2 days<br />

New York Ballet which made it ideal !<br />

What would it be to visit NYC and not go to Central Park? Opened in 1847 and contains<br />
843 Acres of open space to wander about and explore.<br />
And what would NYC be without doing some necessary shopping?<br />
<br />
The trip ended far too soon - maybe we will be there next April for the rare book fair.<br />

On January 26th, I attended my
first lecture at IDS12 'Conversations in Design: Trailblazing and
Trendspotting.' I was eager to hear Michael Bruno, founder of 1stDibs.com speak
about his amazing journey developing this site- which is now the world's leading
online source for 20th century design and antiques. As a 1stDibs dealer, I am
familiar with the operation of the site but I was curious about how it had
evolved and developed.<br /> In 1998, Bruno brought the infamous Paris Flea
Market, Marche aux Puces, to the internet as an alternative to auction sites and
traditional auction houses. Thoughout his presentation, he stressed the
importance of letting things happen and develop over time. He also focused on
the quality of the dealers and the relationship between dealer and client,
confidence and trust being the most important elements of a sale.<br />

Michael Bruno's concept has worked!
1stDibs.com is an ever expanding. It represents<br />more than a 1000 vetted
dealers in 21 of the largest US markets and has expanded to Canada,France and
the UK.<br /><br /> Later that afternoon I recieved a pleasant surprise. A
visit from Michael Bruno and his assistant to view our new upper level
showroom. It was a great opportunity to show our new space and share ideas
about 1stDibs.com. A great day!

own interest in erotica was sparked in 1992 by the referral of one client by
another, who is an avid collector of Madonna memorabilia and in particular the
collection of photos taken of her by photographer Steven Meisel that make up her
now legendary book SEX. The client approached us after careful research and a
positive referral from another collector of photography whose Daguerrotypes and
albumen prints we had carefully conserved, mounted and framed to museum
standards over the course of several months.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

latter client’s collection now requires two homes (Toronto and Florida) to house
the collection and includes all aspects of photographs, posters, ticket stubs,
CD sleeves, cards and the Japanese version of the SEX book lovingly sealed
standing in a glass box of our creation (The Japanese version was printed on art
paper of far higher quality than that of the English and other
versions).<o:p></o:p></span></div>

USING MIRRORS FOR THESE EXCEPTIONAL PIECES. MOUNTING THE IMAGES ON TOP OF A
MIRROR ALLOWS THE LIGHT TO REFLECT BACK THROUGH THE VELLUM AND CREATE A GLOWING

LINED THE SHADOW BOX WITH MIRRORS TO ACHIEVE AN INTERSECTION OF LIGHT AT THE
CORNERS. WE ARE THRILLED WITH THE RESULT! THESE CUSTOM DESIGNED BOXES BY
LEGGEPRINTS.COM ARE DESIGNED TO SIT ON A TABLE AND TO BE DISPLAYED AS A

<strong>This series of large copper engravings
was published c1819 by <br />the Society of Antiquaries (publishers) in London.
They commissioned<br />Strothard to sketch the famous Bayeux Tapestry housed in
Bayeux France, which depicted the Norman invasion of England in 1066 at
Hastings, resulting in the victory of William over King Harold, ushering in the
conquest (albeit brief) of the Normans over the English crown</strong>.

<span style="color: red;"><span style="color: blue;">The Bayeux Tapestry (French: Tapisserie de Bayeux, IPA: [tapisʁi də bajø],
Norman : La telle du conquest) is a 0.5-by-68.38-metre (1.6 by 224.3 ft) long
embroidered cloth – not an actual tapestry – which depicts the events leading up
to the Norman conquest of England as well as the events of the invasion itself.
The tapestry is annotated in Latin. It is exhibited in a special museum in
Bayeux, Normandy called Musée de la Tapisserie de Bayeux.<br /> <br />French legend
maintained the tapestry was commissioned and created by Queen Matilda, William
the Conqueror's wife, and her ladies-in-waiting. Indeed, in France it is
occasionally known as "La Tapisserie de la Reine Mathilde" (Tapestry of Queen
Matilda). However, scholarly analysis [2] in the 20th century concluded it
probably was commissioned by William's half brother, Bishop Odo. The reasons for
the Odo commission theory include: 1) three of the bishop's followers mentioned
in the Domesday Book appear on the tapestry; 2) it was found in Bayeux
Cathedral, built by Odo; and 3) it may have been commissioned at the same time
as the cathedral's construction in the 1070s, possibly completed by 1077 in time
for display on the cathedral's dedication.<br /><br />Assuming Odo commissioned the
tapestry, it was probably designed and constructed in England by Anglo-Saxon
artists given that Odo's main power base was in Kent, the Latin text contains
hints of Anglo-Saxon, other embroideries originate from England at this time,
and the vegetable dyes can be found in cloth traditionally woven there.[3][4][5]
Assuming this was the case, the actual physical work of stitching was most
likely undertaken by skilled seamsters. Anglo-Saxon needlework, or Opus
Anglicanum, was famous across Europe.<br /><br />Alternative theories exist. Carola
Hicks, in The Bayeux Tapestry: The Life of a Masterpiece (2006), has suggested
it was commissioned by Edith of Wessex.[6] Wolfgang Grape, in his The Bayeux
Tapestry: Monument to a Norman Triumph (1994), has challenged the consensus that
the embroidery is Anglo-Saxon, distinguishing between Anglo-Saxon and other
Northern European techniques;[7] however, textile authority Elizabeth Coatsworth
refutes this argument.[8] George Beech, in his Was the Bayeux Tapestry Made in
France? (1995), suggests the tapestry was executed at the Abbey of St. Florent
in the Loire Valley, and says the detailed depiction of the Breton campaign
argues for additional sources in France. Andrew Bridgeford in his book 1066: The
Hidden History of the Bayeux Tapestry (2005), suggested that the tapestry was
actually of English design and encoded with secret messages meant to undermine
Norman rule.</span></span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The tapestry tells the story of the Norman conquest of England. The two
combatants are the Anglo-Saxon English, led by Harold Godwinson, recently
crowned as King of England, and the Normans, led by William the Conqueror.
William was the illegitimate son of Robert the Magnificent, Duke of Normandy,
and Herleva (or Arlette), a tanner's daughter. She was later married off to
another man and bore two sons, one of whom was Bishop Odo. When Duke Robert was
returning from a pilgrimage to Jerusalem, he was killed. William gained his
father's title at a very young age and was a proven warrior at 19. He prevailed
in the Battle of Hastings in October 1066 and captured the crown of England at
38. William knew little peace in his life. He was always doing battle, putting
down rebel vassals or going to war with France. He was married to his distant
cousin Matilda of Flanders.<br /><br />The tapestry begins with a panel of King
Edward the Confessor, who has no son and heir. Edward appears to send Harold
Godwinson, the most powerful earl in England to Normandy. The Norman chronicler
William of Poitiers [10] said that Edward sent Harold to tell William that he,
Edward, who was growing old and had no successor, had decided that William
should succeed him as king of England upon his (Edward's) death. Harold is to go
to Normandy and give this information to William. Harold gets lost and arrives
at the wrong location in Normandy and is taken prisoner by Guy, Count of
Ponthieu. Harold convinces the Count he is on a mission to bring a message to
William which leads to the sending of two messengers from William to demand his
release. The Count Guy of Ponthieu quickly releases him to William. William,
perhaps to impress Harold, invites him to come on a campaign against Conan II,
Duke of Brittany. On the way, just outside the monastery of Mont St. Michel, two
soldiers become mired in quicksand, and Harold saves the two Norman soldiers.
William's army chases Conan from Dol de Bretagne to Rennes, and he finally
surrenders at Dinan. Harold gives the message to William that he is to succeed
Edward upon his death. William gives Harold arms and armour (possibly knighting
him) and has Harold take an oath on saintly relics to honor Edward's wish and
allow William to take the throne. Harold leaves for home and meets again with
the old king Edward, who appears to be remonstrating with Harold. Edward shortly
thereafter dies, and Harold violates his oath to William and has himself crowned
king. It is notable that in the Bayeux Tapestry, the ceremony is performed by
Stigand, whose position as Archbishop of Canterbury was controversial. The
Norman sources[11] name Stigand as the man who crowned Harold, in order to
discredit Harold; English sources[12] suggest that he was in fact crowned by
Aldred, making Harold's position as legitimate king far more secure.<br /><br />A star with streaming hair then appears: Halley's Comet. The first appearance of
the comet would have been on 24 April, nearly four months after Harold's
coronation. Comets, in the beliefs of the Middle Ages, warned of impending doom
(bad omen). The news of Harold's coronation is taken to Normandy, where William
then builds a fleet of ships. The invaders reach England, and land unopposed.
William orders his men to find food, and a meal is cooked. A house is burnt,
which may indicate some ravaging of the local countryside on the part of the
invaders. News is brought to William, possibly about Harold's victory in the
Battle of Stamford Bridge, although the Tapestry does not specify this. The
Normans build a motte and bailey to defend their position. Messengers are sent
between the two armies, and William makes a speech to prepare his army for
battle.<br /><br />The Battle of Hastings was fought on 14 October 1066, less than
three weeks after the Battle of Stamford Bridge. The English fight on foot
behind a shield wall, whilst the Normans are on horses. The first to fall are
named as Leofwine Godwinson and Gyrth Godwinson, Harold's brothers. Bishop Odo
also appears in battle. The section depicting the death of Harold can be
interpreted in different ways, as the name "Harold" appears above a lengthy
death scene, making it difficult to identify which character is Harold. It is
traditional that Harold is the figure with the arrow in his eye, but he could
also be the figure just before with a spear through his chest, the character
just after with his legs hacked off, or could indeed have suffered all three
fates or none of them. The final remaining scene shows unarmoured English troops
fleeing the battlefield.<br /><br />At least two panels of the tapestry are missing,
perhaps even another 6.4 m (7 yards) worth. This missing area would probably
include William’s coronation. A reconstruction of the missing panels - which
show Duke William accepting the surrender of London and his coronation as King
of England - was made by artist Jan Messent.<br /><br />The identity of Harold II of
England in the vignette depicting his death is disputed. Some recent historians
disagree with the traditional view that Harold II is the figure struck in the
eye with an arrow. The view that it is Harold is supported by the fact that the
words Harold Rex (King Harold) appear right above the figure's head. However,
the arrow may have been a later addition following a period of repair. Evidence
of this can be found in a comparison with engravings of the tapestry in 1729 by
Bernard de Montfaucon, in which the arrow is absent. A figure is slain with a
sword in the subsequent plate and the phrase above the figure refers to Harold's
death (Interfectus est, "he is slain"). This would appear to be more consistent
with the labeling used elsewhere in the work. However, needle holes in the linen
suggest that, at one time, this second figure was also shown to have had an
arrow in his eye. It was common medieval iconography that a perjurer was to die
with a weapon through the eye. So, the tapestry might be said to emphasize
William's rightful claim to the throne by depicting Harold as an oath breaker.
Whether he actually died in this way remains a mystery and is much debated. See
M. Foys, "Pulling the Arrow Out" in The Bayeux Tapestry: New Interpretations for
a summary of the arguments. Above and below the illustrated story are to be
found "the marginalia" i.e. background information for example showing the
season of the year, and many symbols and pictures of uncertain
significance.<br /><br />While political propaganda or personal emphasis may have
somewhat distorted the historical accuracy of the story, the Bayeux tapestry
presents a unique visual document of medieval arms, apparel, and other objects
unlike any other artifact surviving from this period. Nevertheless, it has been
noted that the warriors are depicted fighting with bare hands, while other
sources indicate the general use of gloves in battle and hunt.<br /><br />Also, the
tapestry shows Harold enthroned with Stigand, the Archbishop of Canterbury,
beside him, as though he has been crowned by him. Harold may have been crowned
by Aldred of York, more likely than by Stigand, whose relationship with the
papacy was tenuous. The tapestry ties a connection between Harold and the
bishop, whether real or propaganda, making Harold's claim to the throne even
weaker.<br /><br />As the tapestry may have been made under Odo's command, it is
possible he altered the story to benefit his half-brother William, perhaps by
calling into doubt Harold's oath of loyalty.<br /><br />A hand-painted full-size
replica of the Bayeux Tapestry is located at the University of West Georgia. It
is displayed in the third floor atrium of the Humanities building as part of an
art gallery. Dr. E.D. Wheeler, former judge and former dean at Oglethorpe
University, commissioned the work and donated it to the university in
1997.<br /><br />Source: Wikipedia

2012 will mark the twentieth anniversary of
Legge Prints’ foray into erotic art, the creation of our portfolio of erotic
prints as well as our first acquisitions of artistic portrayals of the human
form.<br /><br />Our own interest in erotica was sparked in 1992 by the referral of
one client by another, who is an avid collector of Madonna memorabilia and in
particular the collection of photos taken of her by photographer Steven Meisel
that make up her now legendary book SEX.</div>

How to start an Antique PRINT
collection<br /><br />1. BEGIN COLLECTING! Perhaps the best advice we can offer
is to begin to assemble a collection of what you LOVE and what interests you
most, whether it be maps, botanicals, architecture or erotica<br /><br />2.
ESTABLISH a time period or era that you wish your collection to focus on;
Victorian, Art Deco and Art Nouveau prints are especially collectible and
affordable.</div>

Colen Campbell's major published work,
Vitruvius Britannicus, or the British Architect... appeared in three volumes
between 1715 and 1725. (Further volumes using the successful title were
assembled by Woolfe and Gandon, and published in 1767 and 1771.) Vitruvius
Britannicus was the first architectural work to originate in England since John
Shute's Elizabethan First Groundes. In the empirical vein, it was not a treatise
but basically a catalogue of design, containing engravings of English buildings
by Inigo Jones and Sir Christopher Wren, as well as Campbell himself and other
prominent architects of the era.<br /><br />In the introduction that he appended and in
the brief descriptions, Campbell belaboured the "excesses" of Baroque style and
declared British independence from foreigners while he dedicated the volume to
Hanoverian George I. The third volume (1725) has several grand layouts of
gardens and parks, with straight allées, for courts and patterned parterres and
radiating rides through wooded plantations, in a Baroque manner that was rapidly
becoming old-fashioned.<br /><br />Buildings were shown in plan, section and
elevation, but also some were in a bird's-eye perspective. The drawings and
designs contained in the book were under way before Campbell was drawn into the
speculative scheme. The success of the volumes was instrumental in popularising
neo-Palladian Architecture in Great Britain and America during the 18th century.
For example, Plate 16 of Vitruvius Britannicus, a rendering of Somerset House in
London, was an inspiration for American architect Peter Harrison when he
designed the Brick Market in Newport, Rhode Island, in 1761.</div>

Campbell was influenced as a young man by James Smith (ca 1645 - 1731), the
pre-eminent Scots architect of his day, and an early neo-Palladian whom Campbell
called "the most experienced architect" of Scotland (Vitruvius Britannicus,
ii).<br /><br />The somewhat promotional volume, with its excellently rendered
engravings, came at a propitious moment at the beginning of a boom in country
house and villa building among the Whig oligarchy. Campbell was quickly taken up
by Lord Burlington, who replaced James Gibbs with Campbell at Burlington House
in London and set out to place himself at the center of English neo-Palladian
architecture. In 1718, Campbell was appointed deputy to the amateur gentleman
who had replaced Wren as Surveyor General of the Royal Board of Works, an
appointment that Burlington is certain to have pressed, but a short-lived one.
When Benton, the new Surveyor was turned out of office, Campbell went with him.</div>

Italy from 1695–1702 and is believed to be the Colinus Campbell who signed the
visitor's book at the University of Padua in 1697. He is believed to have
trained in and studied architecture under James Smith; this belief is
strengthened by Campbell owning several drawings of buildings designed by Smith.<br />

<span class="blog-admin"><div style="text-align: justify;">
1. ALWAYS FRAME FOR THE PIECE, NOT YOUR DECOR !
YES, THEY MUST BE ABLE TO<br />MERGE, BUT ART GAINS INDEPENDANCE OF SITUE BY
HAVING A FRAME ON IT.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
2. MAKE AN APPOINTMENT WITH YOUR FRAMER. GIVE
YOURSELF A GOOD HOUR<br />TO CHOOSE THE PERFECT FRAME.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
3. ASK THE FRAMERS' ADVICE ! MOST PEOPLE DON'T
KNOW WHERE TO START<br />THE FRAMING PROCESS. SAVE TIME AND ASK.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
4. SPEND THE EXTRA ON ULTRA-VIOLET CONTROL
GLASS. YOUR ART WILL LAST <br />MUCH LONGER AND YOU CAN HANG IT ALMOST
ANYWHERE.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
5. USE ONLY COTTON RAG OR ALPHA-CELLULOSE MAT
BOARDS AND BACKERS FOR<br />YOUR ART. THAT IS WHAT MUSEUMS USE. THAT IS WHAT YOU
SHOULD USE !<br />REMEMBER TO ASK THE FRAMER ABOUT THE ADHESIVES OR
SUSPENDING<br />MATERIALS USED IN THE POSITIONING OF YOUR ART WORK ONTO THE MAT
BOARD.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
6. DON'T OVER SPEND ON A PIECE THAT DOES NOT
WARRANT IT, BUT THEN,<br />DON'T UNDERSPEND ON A PIECE THAT DOES! GOOD ART CAN
LOOK UNINSPIRING<br />IN THE WRONG FRAME. </div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
7. IF YOU MOVE FREQUENTLY, INVEST IN QUALITY
PICTURE FRAMES. IT DOES MAKE<br />ALL THE DIFFERENCE IN DAMAGE CONTROL.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
8. AS A GENERAL RULE, KEEP YOUR MAT BOARDS
NEUTRAL! YOU MAY TIRE OF <br />HARSH COLOURED MATTING.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
9. TRY NOT TO RUSH YOUR FRAMER NEEDLESSLY! GOOD
WORK TAKES TIME, SO <br />WAIT THE 2 OR 3 WEEKS HE RECOMMENDS.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
10. BE ECLECTIC. MIX AND MATCH YOUR FRAMES.
TAKE A SAMPLE HOME TO BE SURE.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

AS FRAMERS, WE ARE OFTEN AMAZED AT THE POOR CRAFTSMANSHIP WE SEE WHEN
<br />REFRAMING ART. USING MASKING TAPE IS THE CARDINAL SIN OF FRAMING! YET, HOW
OFTEN HAVE WE HAD TO TELL PEOPLE THAT THEIR ART HAS SUFFERED SEVERE ACIDIC
DAMAGE BECAUSE OF MASKING TAPE BEING USED TO SUSPEND IT! WE ALSO OFTEN SEE
CARDBOARD BEING USED AS A BACKER TO THE ART. BROWN CARDBOARD HAS A VERY HIGH
ACIDIC CONTENT AND IT WILL MIGRATE TO THE ARTWORK. IF YOU SUSPECT THE FRAMER HAS
USED CARDBOARD OR MASKING TAPE, MY ADVICE IS TO OPEN THE PAPER BACKER AND IF HE
HAS, INSIST HE REPLACE IT WITH ACID FREE FOAM CORE BOARD AND NEUTRAL HANGERS.
ITS ALL ABOUT THE LOVE OF THE ART ! <br />
