Weighing Down the Landscape: The Quarry as a Site of Rural Modernity

Quarries are liminal spaces: sites of industry from which urban centres spring, largely situated in rural settings. For artists, quarries have always had a certain romance, not only as a space where examples of sculpture or great architectural projects began, but also as a subject in their own right. As this chapter argues, late nineteenth and early twentieth-century artists seem to have been especially attracted by quarries, treating them as a means of exploring modernity through the lens of rural romanticism. Appreciating that there is no single way of categorising and representing quarries, the chapter nonetheless draws out many of the common themes to be found in paintings of quarries in the first half of the twentieth century, with a particular focus on William Rothenstein's 1904 painting 'The Deserted Quarry'

Aliens at Prayer: Representing Jewish Life in the East End of London, c.1905

The Edwardian Era has recently been described as a ‘turbulent period’ in the representation of Anglo-Jewish experience. Anxiety over the influence of Jewish businessmen, and the ever-expanding tides of Jewish immigration into the East End of London, ensured that the status of the British Jew was regularly under the spotlight. There were two major outcomes of this public debate: the growth of the British Zionist movement, supported by Joseph Chamberlain, and the 1905 Aliens Act, the first anti- immigration law to go through British parliament. In the midst of these developments, two Anglo-Jewish artists, Alfred Wolmark and William Rothenstein, embarked upon a series of paintings in the Jewish East End. The artists came from very different backgrounds: Rothenstein was born into a wealthy, liberal German-Jewish family in Bradford, whilst Wolmark was Polish by birth, moving to London in the late 1880s. Whilst Jewish subjects were a common feature of Wolmark’s early career, they only entered Rothenstein’s oeuvre for a brief period in the 1900s. Both artists, however, painted more Jewish subjects around 1905 than at any other point in their lives. This chapter questions why this was, and what part their paintings played in the wider debate surrounding Jewish immigration, assimilation and Zionism. It explores the complex Jewish identities of the two artists, and the ways that this played out in their art works

Engine technology challenges for a 21st Century High-Speed Civil Transport

Ongoing NASA-funded studies by Boeing, McDonnell-Douglas, General Electric, and Pratt & Whitney indicate that an opportunity exists for a 21st Century High-Speed Civil Transport (HSCT) to become a major part of the international air transportation system. However, before industry will consider an HSCT product launch and an investment estimated to be over $15 billion for design and certification, major technology advances must be made. An overview of the propulsion-specific technology advances that must be in hand before an HSCT product launch could be considered is presented

Letter from Samuel P. Shaw to James B. Finley

Samuel Shaw is currently serving the London Circuit in the Lebanon District. Finley is the Presiding Elder of the district and also superintendent of the Wyandot Mission. Shaw writes to provide a report on the status of the circuit, which is generally healthy. The new society has been favorably received by a majority of the populace. He speaks about 300 subscribers, indicating that half of the money collected must go to the Missionary Society. The London brethren are working on a meeting house which they plan to have completed by next quarterly meeting. This is the building to which Finley should come for that meeting.

Manual of Goldwyn branch operations

About a year ago a memorandum with general instructions on branch accounting, was forwarded to you explaining the use of the different forms and such details as were necessary to properly record transactions occurring in our branches. The system then in existence still prevails although it has been found necessary to introduce changes so as to make it conform to present conditions. A number of new forms have been added to those which were used a year ago, in regard to which you have received letters explaining their use. The purpose of this booklet is to eliminate the necessity of going through considerable past correspondence, and to have a reference book at hand which will explain the use of all forms at present employed by our branches
