For the past seven years, photographer Kirstin Sinclair has documented countless collections through every season at each of the major fashion weeks. This book presents a sweeping selection of her fresh take on fashion, encapsulating the shows, presentations, exhibitions, and after-parties held in each of the four fashion capitals of the world - London, New York City, Paris and Milan - as well as events such as the British Fashion Awards and the London College of Fashion’s MA show.

ACC Editions 277 x 346mm.

April 2012 £25.00 Hardback

Sir David Attenborough has described Richmond Park as ‘A very special place’ - and with good reason. This vast oasis of green, just eight miles from the centre of London, is an ecological pearl in the midst of sprawling urbanisation. Apart from being the largest enclosed park in Europe, it is also a Site of Special Scientific Interest, a National Nature Reserve, and a European Special Area of Conservation. With its unique blend of rare and diverse wildlife and plant life, beautiful and historic buildings, rolling landscapes and formal gardens, Richmond Park offers something for everyone. Since King Charles I first enclosed the Park in 1637, it has provided a haven of tranquillity and diversion for royalty, aristocrats, prime ministers, and the rich and famous. Nowadays, some 2.5 million people pass through its gates each year.

The Park is probably most famous for its herd of 630 Fallow and Red deer, but its other inhabitants include 119 species of birds, 730 species of butterfly and moth, over 1,350 species of beetle, and other mammals such as foxes, rabbits and shrews. The stunning array of 130,000 trees, includes veteran Oaks, Crack and Weeping Willows, and rare Black Poplar and Handkerchief Tree. This is complemented by the 450 species of plants that illuminate the landscape throughout the seasons.

Max Penson Soviet Avant-Garde Photographer ILDAR GAVEEL & MIRON PENSON

From 1924 the Russian photojournalist Max Penson (1893 - 1959) travelled through his adoptive homeland of Uzbekistan as a reporter. His photographs offer insight into a time when the country was loosening its centuries-old traditions and was confronted with a new political and social structure. These photographs, discovered three years ago in an attic and shown for the first time in this publication, come from the photographer’s so far unseen legacy. They portray a country that in the early 20th century was a largely unknown part of mysterious and magical Central Asia. Like no other photographer of his generation Max Penson documented the radical changes of a country that was only just being liberated from medieval social structures. Max Penson, a contemporary of the artist Alexander Rodchenko and a friend of the film director Sergej Eisenstein, left behind a unique documentation of these changes. Max Penson was a photographer between tradition and revolution. This publication presents, by means of recently rediscovered works, the extraordinary documentary achievement of the Russian photojournalist, who portrayed in gripping photo reportages Uzbekistan's transformation from a medieval social structure to a Soviet Socialist Republic. Text in English, German and Russian.

Six accomplished photographers - Jerry Burchfield, Mark Chamberlain, Jacques Garnier, Rob Johnson, Douglas McCulloh, and Clayton Spada known as ‘The Legacy Project’, aided by 400 artists, experts, and volunteers, transformed an abandoned southern California F-18 jet hangar, located at the Marine Corps Air Station El Toro (MCAS El Toro) in Orange County, into the largest camera ever made and then proceeded to produce the world’s largest photograph, ‘The Great Picture’. The image is an enormous panoramic landscape of the California desert beyond the air station, which is destined to become the heart of the Orange County Great Park. On July 12, 2006, The Legacy Project unveiled the world’s largest photograph at a special reception held inside the world’s largest camera.

Cabaret New Burlesque STANISLAS GUIGUI This collection of black and white photographs of the Cabaret New Burlesque troupe is an exuberant tribute to a unique group of women. Stan Guigui presents 140 of his photographs from behind the scenes, on stage and at the César awards ceremony in 2010.

The Burlesque movement is in full swing all over the world, as seen in the Cher and Christina Aguilera movie Burlesque, the popularity of Dita von Teese as well as Tournée by Mathieu Amalric. This book captures its atmosphere with its strip-tease, theatre, choreography, glamour, humour, satire and a bit of destruction!

A French photographer whose work spans contemporary art and photojournalism, Stan Guigui was born in Paris in 1969. Interested in the social themes of exclusion and marginal underworlds, in 1996 he moved to Colombia and brought back his series Calle del Cartucho, awarded by PhotoEspana in 2006 and by UNICEF in 2008. A nonconformist and politically engaged artist, his universe is populated with baroque and Fellinian characters. Guigui is touched by the New Burlesque movement, by what it represents both aesthetically and ideologically: a glamorous and sexy revolt against stereotypes established by our societies. He followed the Cabaret New Burlesque during their two-month tour in Paris, from the Théâtre de la Cité to the 2011 Cesars Ceremony for Mathieu Amalric’s movie On Tour. Stan Guigui is a member of the VU Agency.

“If rock is walking on the wild paths of life, Stan Guigui embodies rock in its purest state!”

The idea for this book was sparked two years ago when the author bought a curious photo album. The film contained fleeting snapshots of a New York that never sleeps, from the southern tip of Manhattan north past Central Park. The images serve to create a perfect homage to the grand metropolis, demonstrating its vibrancy despite being shot in black and white, and revealing a melting pot of different people, realities and sentiments.

PHOTOGRAPHS BY HANS PETER JOST TEXTS BY CHRISTINA KLEINEIDAM AND FATOS LUBONJA The historical events of 20 years ago changed the world profoundly, as the end of the Cold War ushered in the democratisation of the countries of Eastern Europe. Albania was also swept up in the wave of the regime’s critical movements, and with the overthrow of the communist government hopes for prosperity and freedom took root. Hans Peter Jost’s photographs of that time document a country marked by communism in the throes of change. Text in English & Albanian.

Ou Menya is the remarkable portfolio of awardwinning photographer Bieke Depoorter. For three months the Belgian student traveled through Russia and Siberia. With a firm idea of what she wanted - to document brief but intense shared moments - she allowed the Trans-Siberian express to take her from village to village, from living room to living room. The collection is not a cross-section of life in the Russian countryside, but rather, a record of raw, uninhibited experiences, representative of Depoorter’s connection to, and involvement with a number of different families. Text in English, Dutch and French.

Abhaya Burma's Fearlessness TEXT AND PHOTOGRAPHS BY JAMES MACKAY, WITH A FOREWORD AUNG SAN SUU KYI

BY

• Includes 244 portraits of former political prisoners, 57 taken at risk inside Burma, working with underground networks

In 1962, a military coup lead by General Ne Win saw Burma, an isolated Buddhist country in South-East Asia, come under the power of one of the world's most brutal regimes. For the past five decades, thousands of people have been arrested, tortured and given long prison sentences for openly expressing their beliefs. Today, more than 2,000 political prisoners including monks, students, journalists, lawyers, elected Members of Parliament and over 300 members of Aung San Suu Kyi's opposition party, The National League for Democracy, are incarcerated in horrendous conditions in Burma's notorious prisons.

In Burma and across the world, hundreds of former political prisoners have come together to raise awareness of the tragic plight of their colleagues still detained in jail.

Abhaya: Burma's Fearlessness is part of an international appeal for their liberation.

Photographed standing with their right hand raised, palm out-turned facing the camera, the name of a current political prisoner is shown written on their hand. The sacred Buddhist gesture of Abhaya, 'Fear Not', is not only an act of silent protest, but also one of remembrance and fearlessness.

Photographer Marco Paoluzzo first became interested in China decades ago, yet the passionate world traveller refused to visit the country for political reasons until 1998. He was quickly fascinated by the land, and it was here that he met Feifei, now his wife. This book is the fruit of numerous exploratory journeys that he has randomly taken through the countryside. It is the photographer’s personal travelogue, documenting China’s leap from the Maoist era into the 21st century and capturing life in China in all its simultaneous complexity and simplicity. Text in English, German & French.

GARETH ABBOTT

Hollywood Dogs showcases a fine selection of photographs taken from the famous John Kobal collection. Taken between 1920 and 1960, during the 'Golden Age of Hollywood', they feature stars including Humphrey Bogart, Buster Keaton and Audrey Hepburn posing with dogs of every shape and stature. In almost every case, these stunning photographs have never been seen before. John Kobal was an authority on Hollywood portrait photography, who established a preeminent collection of works featuring iconic stars of the day. Many of his photographs were used for publicity purposes, often featuring the stars with their dogs. This book brings together a fabulous collection of these superb black and white photographs showing some of the greatest movie stars of the twentieth century in enduring poses that you will never have seen before.

Hollywood Unseen Photographs from the John Kobal Foundation ROBERT DANCE Hollywood Unseen is a tribute to the incredible inventiveness and ingenuity of the great Hollywood film studios: Columbia, Paramount, MGM, Universal, Warner Brothers, RKO and Twentieth Century Fox. From the late 1920's to the early 1950's these studios presided over the 'Golden Age of Cinema', and their publicity departments created some of the most stunning and iconic images of Hollywood's stars ever taken. This volume exposes, for the first time, photographs showing the 'ordinary lives' of the stars, including Rita Hayworth, Gary Cooper, Humphrey Bogart and Marilyn Monroe. In reality, these photographs were as carefully constructed and prepared as any classic portrait or scene, and they depicted the actors and actresses exactly as the studios wanted them to be seen. The publicity departments cleverly formed an idealised view of the husbands, wives, children, pets, parties, premieres and hobbies of the stars. Ironically, many of the images were only used once or twice, and were then never seen again. Drawn from the extensive archive of the John Kobal Foundation, this book showcases an extraordinary collection of these hidden photographic gems. John Kobal was an authority on Hollywood portrait photography, who established a preeminent collection of works featuring iconic stars of the day. The Getty Image Library in London will be hosting an exhibition of these images to coincide with the publication of this book.

From May 2010 to January 2011 the Marlborough Gallery in New York displayed a set of sixteen monumental sculptures by Manolo Valdés on the section that goes from 166th street in Broadway to Columbus Circle. These sculptures acted as beacons of the singular iconography of the Valencian artist.

They were all made in New York, the city where he lived for more than twenty years. This is the first time a Spanish creative artist has taken up such a vast space in the complex urban area of Manhattan.

Crazy Photography DIANE ROUTEX With the invention of photography almost two centuries ago, the subjective eye of the artist had a new rival, and one that ostensibly depicted the world as it actually was. Today we know better; in the age of digital imaging when photographs can be easily adulterated.

Crazy Photography presents the work of more than fifty contemporary photographers from all over the world demonstrating how the way we capture and look at images has been revolutionised in recent years. By skilfully manipulating and playing with images, the artists challenge our perceptions and beliefs, inducing in us an altered view of what seems to be familiar or ordinary.

JEWELLERY 13

Made in Italy Fashion Jewellery 1900 to the Present DEANNA FARNETI CERA • A stunning survey of fashion jewellery made in Italy during the 20th century, and its symbiotic relationship with Italian fashion

In Italy there has always been a tradition of making jewellery from semi precious metal, as copies or prototypes of fine jewellery pieces. Made in Italy moves chronologically through the last 100 years, with pieces from the beginning of the 20th century, through to the years spent under fascist rule.

The fifties and sixties allowed for the very first big names in fashion jewellery to arise: Giuliano Fratti, Emma Caimi Pellini, Coppola e Toppo, Luciana de Reutern, Canesi, Ornella…The book reserves a special place for an important phenomenon that took place in Milan at the end of the 1970s "Made in Italy" - when Italian fashion entered - and dominated - the international scene, and Italian designers such as Armani, Versace, Ferré, Moschino and Prada found incredible success all over the world. Throughout the eighties and nineties, and well into the year 2000 further names in fashion jewellery were pushed to the fore: Ugo Correani, Sharra Pagano, Carlo Zini, Angela Caputi, Maria Calderara, Giorgio Vigna, Fabio Cammarata, Emilio Cressoni, Robert Tomas, Irene Moret, Silvia Beccaria, among others. The final section of the book is devoted to new talents, selecting ten designers whose jewels are particularly interesting and innovative. This section also contains lists of the major museums, galleries, schools and magazines in Europe that are dedicated to contemporary jewellery. Made in Italy applies special focus to the most important, interesting pieces, through both period images taken from exclusive fashion magazines, and through stunning photographs of actual pieces, resulting in almost 400 illustrations.

HAWK HILDESHEIM, KOLLOQUIUM NORDRHEIN-WESTFALEN This publication presents the results of a competition that was initiated to promote the artistic and creative use of steel as a material. Diverse pieces of jewellery and small-scale sculptures were created as a result, which either make use of the brittle hardness of the material or else override these properties. Jewellery and objects by four award winners are presented, as well as work by students and graduates. The presentation is enhanced with works by established artists, which complete the spectrum and the possibilities of designing with steel.

Serpentina Snake Jewellery from Around the World FRITZ FALK Sin and temptation, wisdom and deceit, death and damnation, but also, conversely, eternity and renewal, protection and healing power - the symbolic meanings of the snake are as manifold as the myths, sagas and legends in which it plays a significant role. The snake led Adam and Eve into temptation in the Garden of Eden, the Uraeus snake was the symbol of the pharaohs in ancient Egypt, it was the ancient symbol of the art of healing, was worshipped as the snake spirit in India and as a deity in African and Central American cultures.

MÓNICA GASPAR, PRAVU MAZUMDAR The work of Peter Bauhuis on pieces of jewellery and objects is characterised by experimenting with the process of casting and melting metals. By playfully oxidizing gold, silver and copper he achieves unexpected colours from white and pale greenyyellow to deep orange and dark red. The wax rendering process also opens up a wide range of possibilities for him to keep reinventing seemingly simple forms. His process results in a lightness which is remarkable for metal.

January 2012 £45.00 Hardback

Animal liver, deer legs, sepia and cosmic dust are not usually amongst the preferred materials used by goldsmiths in the creation of pieces of jewellery. This is not the case for the Estonian group of artists ÕhuLoss, which means ‘Castle in the Air’. Its seven members make use of many organic materials in the design of objects which are on the border between applied and visual arts. They create confusing pieces of jewellery which appear to hover in time and space and play with these concepts. The lyrical creations of the seven artists evoke a past era, but their choice of materials is shocking enough to bring the viewer back to the present. The undisputed strength of the work lies in its suggestive power, which puts the viewer under its spell. The new Estonian jewellery of the ÕhuLoss group probes itself, the world and life. It is a medium for communication without words, expressing the ambivalence of the modern attitude towards life. The young Estonian jewellery artists show that especially intelligent jewellery, close to nature, is very powerful. Artists featured include Villu Plink, Eve MargusVillems, Kristiina Laurits, Piret Hirv, Katrin Sipelgas, Tanel Veenre and Kadri Mälk. Text in English and Estonian.

Tradition and Modernism collide in Cairo - with a population of 20 million people it is the largest city of the Arab world. In this vibrant environment some years ago an independent fashion scene established itself. Along with it, fashion designer Susanne Kümper has built up a course in fashion design at Helwan University. Providing alluring glimpses of this newest chapter of international fashion design in Cairo, Cairo Fashion Design shows the extraordinary diversity that is possible where East meets West. Many of the clothes shown in this book recall the tales of the Thousand and One Nights; others by contrast have been designed for Western needs and are radically contemporary. Thus a sweeping vista of diverse Egyptian fashion design is projected that also permits exciting insights into living in Egypt today. Texts written by distinguished specialists in cultural history, fashion and politics complete a multilayered panorama. Text in English, German and Arabic.

Fashion: Out of Order Disruption as a Principle EDITED

BY

DOROTHEA MINK

Is fashion that is out of order and doesn't seem to follow any obvious rules truly accidental? Or has dissonance in fashion always been a guiding principle? Can coincidence therefore be predictable and controllable?

ISBN: 9783897903586 Arnoldsche Art Publishers 250 x 170mm.

176pp. 100col.

January 2012 £35.00 Flexibind

A publication which defies all boundaries of categorisation has been created out of the workings of fashion that almost inevitably has to be out of order, so as to increase its attractive power and generate attention with its interruptions of the ordinary. The contributions, on the border between art and fashion and residing within the realms of literary theory, design theory, cultural history and technology, demonstrate in manifold ways processes, images and ideas that are striving for innovation and transgressing established parameters. Fashion: Out of Order is dedicated to the constructive side of the development of fashion, whereby the theme of Out of Order is combined with the concept of dissonance as a creative formula. If one starts from the premise that fashion is no longer fashion when it can be generalised, categorised, repeated and described, then the process of dissonance constitutes the significant impulse for everything new.

Reprint: January 2012 £19.95 Paperback

Radical Lace & Subversive Knitting examines the work of a diverse group of contemporary artists who have reformed knitting and lacemaking by experimenting with innovative techniques and materials. The works engage with a wide range of cultural, social and political issues. In particular, many of the pieces stress the significance of handwork as a symbol of community and communication. The works also epitomise a crucial change in the visual arts; inspiring, provocative, and radical they challenge our assumptions of art, craft, and design, in turn making their classification extremely difficult. The artists, who originate from seven different countries, use a wide range of materials to create knotted or linked structures. In addition to traditional fibres including cotton, wool, silk, and polyester, they work with rubber, glass, wire, and fibre optics. The works also take on a wide range of forms including freestanding sculptures, architectural interventions, sound and video works, and performance art. Beautifully illustrated, this publication is a celebration of the intelligence, visual acuity and skill that these artists have combined to create things of such aesthetic value.

Dream Suits The Wonderful World of Nudie Cohn MAIRI MACKENZIE • Examines the work of Ukranian-born Nudie Cohn 'the Rodeo Tailor' - who revolutionised the clothing of Country and Western music

• Illustrates fascinating outfits, accessories and ephemera

Originally a designer of highly embellished g-strings for New York strippers, Ukranianborn Nudie Cohn moved to Hollywood in 1947 and originated the rhinestone cowboy look that has become visual shorthand for Country & Western style. His fantastical, intricately embroidered and heavily ornamented outfits adorned the backs of numerous music and film stars, including Elvis Presley, Gram Parsons, Porter Wagoner, Dolly Parton, Roy Rogers, John Wayne, Elton John, Cher, John Lennon, Steve McQueen, Johnny Cash, and Bobbejaan Schoepen. Today his work is still sought after and admired.

Contemporary musicians such as Bobby Gillespie from Primal Scream, Mike Mills from R.E.M. and Beck, fashion photographers such as Craig McDean and fashion designers from Tommy Hilfiger to Ralph Lauren have been inspired by his incredible designs. The pieces illustrated in the book have been drawn from the personal collection of iconic Belgian entertainer Bobbejaan Schoepen and his wife José. Bobbejaan Schoepen was a lifelong client and collector of Nudie Cohn designs.

This resulted in a close friendship between the two men, and an exceptionally large and well-preserved collection of Nudie designs.

This book celebrates both Nudie's very particular aesthetic as well as the relationship between these extraordinary men.

Commissioned in the 1470s most likely by Afonso V, king of Portugal, the Pastrana Tapestries are a group of four towering (12 by 36 feet each) tapestries memorialising his conquest of the Moroccan cities of Asilah and Tangier, near the entrance to the Strait of Gibraltar. An impressive rendition in wool and silk woven by Flemish weavers, the tapestries display multicoloured scenes of the day: military, royalty and maritime life. The images are an anomaly in that they portray current experiences and not ancient or Biblical events. Since the seventeenth century, the Pastrana tapestries have been the property of the Collegiate Church of Our Lady of the Assumption in Pastrana, Spain. The tapestries recently underwent total conservation in Belgium after deterioration and damage. Now entirely restored, they are an outstanding discovery for both scholars and the general public.

FIAMETTA D'AREMBERG FRESCOBALDI PHOTOGRAPHY BY JEAN PIERRE GABRIEL An exclusive private itinerary leads the reader to the discovery of the refined style that characterises the places where life is lived in Brussels today. The Art of Living in Brussels reveals different facets of Belgium's capital and highlights the surprising mixture of classicism and contemporary style, of magnificence and minimalism that distinguish this cosmopolitan European city awarded UNESCO world heritage status owing to the stately architecture of Grande Place, heart of the metropolis. The city is renowned for its blend of gothic art, art nouveau and art deco, as well as for its medieval architecture, in a miscellany of different aesthetics where the splendid sixteenth and seventeenth century Flemish and Walloon mansions complement the delicate, almost mystic art nouveau style, whose extraordinary forerunner, Victor Horta, is a native son of Brussels.

Author Fiametta d'Aremberg Frescobaldi offers a novel journey that takes the reader through some thirty homes designed by famous names and located in different areas of the city and its environs. Thus we are privy to the living quarters of passionate art collectors, seeing with our own eyes that the taste and personal history of those dwelling there is in perfect keeping with the distinguishing spirit of the capital: a passion for art. Shown for the first time ever, these exclusive places are captured in lovely pictures by photographer Jean Pierre Gabriel, who interprets them in a way that reflects their refined taste. Designers and artists featured include: Axel Vervoordt, MichaĂŤl Borremans, Jan Fabre, Christine Bekaert, Anatoly Stolnikoff, Christophe Decarpentrie, Edouard Vermeulen, JeanMichel Wilmotte, Adrien Blomme, Marc Corbiau and Bataille & Ibens.

The Beauty Within GEOFFROY VAN HULLE TEXT BY JO DE POORTER PHOTOGRAPHY BY RAF KETELSLAGERS According to popular wisdom, beauty is within. But nothing is said about how to get it out, or what on earth you can do with it. In this book, the Belgian decorator Geoffroy Van Hulle demonstrates how it can be seen: beauty, on the inside of a house but also on the inside of a life.

ISBN: 9789020996128 Lannoo Publishers 360 x 280mm.

320pp. 300col.

January 2012 £95.00 Hardback

Photographer Raf Ketelslagers captures this vision in incredible images, capturing inspirational interiors, while writer and TV presenter Jo De Poorter describes things that can be beautiful, compelling and imposing outside the walls of the house: from the Académie Française, the Frick Collection, Dusty Springfield and Levi’s jeans to a handful of brioches, Bree Van Der Camp, two or three requiems, Viagra, and the holy virgin Mary herself, in the form of a piece of soap. Text in English, French and Dutch.

Geoffroy Van Hulle is a decorator. He decorates houses, apartments and restaurants in the Benelux, the United Kingdom, France and the United States. His style is contemporary eclectic with baroque and classical influences. He is not afraid of colour, character and a stuffed crane here and there. As significant sources of inspiration he mentions Leonardo Da Vinci, Tony Duquette, Saint Nicholas and his mother.

Renovate Innovate KOEN VAN DAMME Instead of focusing purely on how to decorate your interior, this book looks mainly at the necessary structural format when building or renovating a house. Included are powerful interiors from architects such as Hans Verstuyft, Lieven Musschoot, Gino Debruyne and Buro 2.

36 ARCHITECTURE Dutch Architects and Their Houses FRANK VISSER WITH PHOTOGRAPHS

BY

MIRJAM BLEEKER

Almost all architecture is designed on commission for a client. And the architect’s design must always bend to the wishes or demands of that client.

The situation is turned on its head, however, when the architect becomes his/her own client when building, renovating or redecorating their own home. All of a sudden, the architect has the freedom to give full expression to his vision on living and the humble home is transformed into something of a calling card. This book contains 16 such calling cards: sixteen extensive reports on the lofts, apartments or houses where leading Dutch architects as Herman Herzberger, Gunnar Daan, Felix Claus and others live. Each report is accompanied by a text in which the architect expounds his/her own vision on architecture.

March 2012 £30.00 Hardback

The Modern Californian Beach House catalogues the eclectic and always original modernist beach house architecture of Patrick Killen, founder of studio 9 one 2. Killen helped introduce serious modern design to the Los Angeles beach communities in the mid-80s, which at the time was "a crazy quilt of fantasy structures all built on postage-stamp sized lots". The projects featured in this collection span Killen's stellar career, from the Shearin House, which established modernism as a viable architectural motif on the western edge of Los Angeles, to 139 Hermosa Avenue, a definitive and welcome statement of modernity amid a sea of ramshackle and derelict LA beachside structures. Killen's beach houses have added another textural element to the architectural stewing pot that is beachside LA. He is committed to modernism, which he claims is "the architecture of our time", and his architecture reflects a regionalism and humour that encapsulates the California lifestyle.

Hermann Baur. Objectivity in Concrete Allgemeine Gewerbeschule Basel EDITED BY DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS AND TRANSPORT OF THE CANTON OF BASEL-STADT Hermann Baur (1894 - 1980) was one of the most significant architects of the Swiss pre- and post-war Modern. In his work the buildings of the vocational school and the school for design in Basel represent the importance of public buildings. Baur left his mark on the Basel cityscape with large public and settlement buildings. The occasion for this publication was the completion of the renovation work on this impressive building ensemble, which both enabled and provoked a new view of this Swiss architectural classic.

The Royal Palace of Palermo EDITED BY MARIA ANDALORO PHOTOGRAPHS BY GHIGO ROLI • The Royal Palace of Palermo, crossroads of cultures in the heart of the Mediterranean, shown as never before

The Royal Palace of Palermo, today seat of the Sicilian Regional Assembly, is one of the symbols of Sicily and of the rich Sicilian and national patrimony.

Formerly fortress, then royal palace and finally building of government, the palace is today an extraordinary and fascinating monumental complex. A casket of artistic treasures like the Palatine Chapel commissioned by Roger II, testimony of the deep encounter between the cultures of the Normans, the Byzantines and the Arabs. The origins of the Palace go back to the twelfth century, while its present look is mostly due to the additions made by the Spanish viceroys during the Renaissance. Its history is rooted in the eighth century B.C., when the Phoenician structures discovered during the digs of 1984 can be dated.

The scholarly essays of this book, together with the new photographic campaign realised by the photographer Ghigo Roli, are an indispensable guide to the history of the Royal Palace, its manifold functions and the timeless fascination of its rich artistic heritage.

With texts by Maria Andaloro, Cinzia Cigni, Piero Longo, Ruggero Longo & Gianni Riotta.

Animal print is one trend that has its dips and surges in popularity, but never truly goes out of fashion. Long gone are the days of the prints being seen as vulgar; over the last few years stylish men and women all over the world have been sporting accessories and clothes covered in leopard, tiger and zebra print among others, inspired by glamorous celebrities who are repeatedly spotted working the trend. Time was that animal prints were only worn by the most daring fashionistas - a bold style statement that only a few could pull off. However, the fashion world has made the trend far more accessible in recent years, with softer colours and inventive reworking of the prints that has given many items more subtlety. Whether fiercely bold or delicately playful, few are now able to resist the call of the wild.

Featuring 100 designs to inspire Stylists, Designers and Art Directors, Animal Style Textures is a creative riot of colours and prints that will never go out of style.

Unlike their continental counterparts, British designers never took on board the hard-edged Modernism of the Bauhaus but instead created (and still create) modern designs with a soft-edged sophistication that reflects an engaging and understated refinement… British design at its very best!

Ugly The Aesthetics of Everything STEPHEN BAYLEY

February 2012 £24.95 Hardback

What is ugly? One of the leading cultural commentators of our times, Stephen Bayley, takes us on a journey of discovery by skilfully weaving centuries of art and design history into a discourse on the nature of beauty… and its polar opposite, ugly. Is ugliness only skin-deep, or can something that is outwardly beautiful - a B52 bomber or a Colt.45 - also be ugly, if its function is to kill or to maim?

What was “Degenerate Art” and why was it deemed such? Why are mountains seen as sublime expressions of nature, when only two hundred years ago they were regarded as loathsome things to be avoided at all costs? Why on earth is there a contest for "The Ugliest Dog in the World"? If there was no ugly in the world, would there be any beauty? Stephen Bayley in his engaging and at times tongue-in-cheek style answers these questions to reveal… well you just need to read this beautifully illustrated book to find out the ugly truth!

Stephen Bayley is one of the world’s bestknown commentators on design and popular culture, and is also a bestselling author. In the early 1980s he headed up the Boilerhouse Project at the Victoria and Albert Museum Britain’s first permanent exhibition of design and later became Chief Executive of the Design Museum in London. He also worked as a design consultant for among others; Ford, Absolut Vodka, The Coca-Cola Company, Volkswagen, BMW and Harvey Nichols. As an out spoken authority on art and design he frequently appears on television and regularly contributes to numerous newspapers and magazines.

• Rediscovered masterpieces of graphic design and advertisement

of 161 Russian silent film posters are presented here in chronological order- from the very beginning of the 20th century until the 1930s.

These film posters are unique in their approach to representing films, creating new and original images- more evocative than descriptive. The movie is depicted through the use of expressive typography, geometric forms, minimalist illustrations and their distinctive technique of recreating photographs by hand.

Works by famous artists of the time such as Alexander Rodchenko, the Stenberg Brothers, Yakov Ruklevsky, Nikolai Prusakov, Alexander Naumov and others are featured. After the Russian revolution in 1917 and the establishment of the Soviet Union in 1922, cinema played an important role in the dissemination of propaganda for the new regime. A large number of Russian movies were produced during the 1920s and early 1930s, and there was also an increase in films imported from other countries. Advertising posters played a major role to attract large audiences. The book reveals the strong influence of modernist art movements such as constructivism and Dadaism on these art works.

This volume, based on rarely seen Russian archives, traces the history of the silent film poster in Russia, starting with a poster designed by Paul Assaturov ('Stenka Razin', 1908) in the style of ancient naïve Russian imagery to the latest advertisement for a silent movie by Yuri Pimenov from 1934.

Ponti made an extraordinary contribution to the recovery and success of Italian industry following the two world wars. His significance within the field of design is confirmed by the fact that many of his creations are still produced today, while others are periodically relaunched by major design manufacturers.

The sheer complexity of the subject of European furniture makes it unrealistic to cover it adequately in anything less than this detailed and lavishly illustrated work. It was inevitable that such a vast area, undergoing great political and industrial change, would be responsible for such a confused mixture of styles; France dominated the movement, but influences filtered into Europe from Turkey, Africa, and the Far and Middle East. This pioneering reference work discusses the European furniture produced between 1830 and 1910 in great depth, and with great clarity.

Emille Gallé was one of the leading figures of the Art Nouveau movement in France, and founder of the famous École de Nancy. A polymath and committed social activist, he was best known for his glasswork and faience. Furniture became his third discipline after experimenting with the manufacture of wooden bases on which he could mount his glass vases. This book outlines all of Gallé’s major works of furniture, from the pieces uniques that were designed for an exclusive clientele, to those displayed between 1889 and 1904 at the annual Paris Salons and two World Expositions.

Le Corbusier Furniture and Interiors 1905-1965 The Complete Catalogue Raisonné ARTHUR RÜEGG IN COLLABORATION WITH KLAUS SPECHTENHAUSER • The ultimate authoritative book on Le Corbusier as an interior and furniture designer

• Presents previously unpublished material and newly found facts

• Documents for the first time completely Pierre Jeanneret’s and Charlotte Perriand’s contribution to Le Corbusier’s oeuvre in furniture design

Le Corbusier, one of the world’s most important and influential architects and accomplished visual artists, has also created a vast oeuvre of interior and furniture designs.

The chaise-longue LC4, the armchair LC2 or the sling chair LC1, created in co-operation with Pierre Jeanneret and Charlotte Perriand, have become icons of 20th-century design.

Le Corbusier's contribution to modern interior design, though, reaches far beyond these well-known classics. The vast part of his work as a young architect from 1912-16 was in interior and furniture design. From the early 1920s he developed a particular interest in fitting residential buildings with indispensable pieces of furniture, eventually leading to the legendary metal-tube types.

After the second World War, he turned back to less refined, almost primitive designs more suitable for most people’s elementary everyday requirements.

The new book Le Corbusier. Furniture and Interiors 1905-1965 is both a comprehensive monograph of his work in interior design and a Catalogue Raisonné. All items in the Catalogue Raisonné section are depicted and documented with images and a wealth of detailed information highly valuable for art historians, dealers and collectors alike.

With Thomas Boulsover's invention of Sheffield plate in 1742, a whole new industry was born; the revolutionary technique of fusion plating allowed a wide range of articles made in silver to be imitated more cheaply by using sheets of copper that had already been plated with silver. The extraordinary expansion of the industry throughout the second half of the eighteenth century was a triumph of ingenuity, craftsmanship, excellence of design and marketing. This profusely illustrated book covers all these aspects of the trade.

• Brings together works from approximately forty museums and private collections in Europe and the United States

The historical period commonly referred to as the Belle Époque - the final decades of the nineteenth century and the beginning years of the twentieth - continues to intrigue primarily because of the progressive changes that occurred in the arts, which spanned the period from Impressionism to the early avant-garde movements. Although the art created during this era garnered esteem and a following, certain aspects of the artistic life that were crucial at the time have since been obscured or forgotten.

Portraits of the Belle Époque brings light to the art that characterised life through portraiture, a genre that not only best defines the time frame but one that also illuminates the relationship between art and the society of the time.

Velázquez’s Las Meninas Art Mysteries MARCO CARMINATI Velázquez’s Las Meninas, now at the Prado in Madrid, is one of the most famous paintings ever. It was executed in 1656 in Madrid and depicts the Infanta Margaret Theresa of Spain surrounded by ladies-inwaiting and in the company of the painter, who portrays himself at work. But is this really the subject of the painting? A journey through the historical events of the painting and a meticulous analysis of all the figures present on the scene will allow the reader to in part resolve the many puzzles that still shroud this supreme masterpiece of the European Baroque.

In this book, Reindert Falkenburg offers a detailed analysis of Bosch’s eye- and mind boggling play with pictorial traditions. The debatable nature of Bosch’s imagery is central to any engaged viewership, historical or modern.

Paris in 1900 marked the first time that the walls began to break down between the ‘fine’ and ‘decorative’ arts. Artists were as influenced by Symbolist poetry as by Japanese design, and fascinated by eroticism in equal measure to their excitement about the new technology of electric light.

Aided by the Collas machine, artists and foundries created sculptures in various sizes for a newly emergent upper middle class that was paradoxically eager to live in both the modern world of the automobile and the ancien monde of collecting.

From the monuments of the ancient world to the modern waxwork museum, sculpture has been used to represent and make present the living and the dead. This stimulating book, published to coincide with an exhibition at the Holburne Museum, explores the peculiar power of the sculpted portrait and where that power comes from.

Using examples from the ancient world to the modern day including work of contemporary artists such as Jeff Koons, Ron Mueck and Marc Quinn, it examines the way in which the sculpted portrait has been used and the different forms it has taken. In particular the book explores what is unique about the sculpted portrait as opposed to other forms of portraiture with regards to the use of death and life masks and their implications, the impact of changes in scale and the absence or presence of colour. It also examines the importance of the context in which a sculpture is presented or conceived.

The British as Art Collectors From the Tudors to the Present JAMES STOURTON AND CHARLES SEBAG-MONTEFIORE To see the great art galleries, stately homes and museums up and down Britain today is to witness the rich story of the British as art collectors, a narrative that mirrors the history of the country. In this remarkable new book, James Stourton and Charles SebagMontefiore present a comprehensive survey of British art collectors down the centuries.

The major collecting landmarks covered include Henry VIII, who harnessed the arts in the service of the crown, Charles I and the Whitehall Circle, the Grand Tour and the country house boom, the bonanza created by the Napoleonic Wars and the Industrial Revolution, French taste, the collecting of Spanish art, the passion for Florence, the 19thcentury heyday for the creation of museums, the private collectors who sparked the belated British love affair with Impressionism, the State’s role in patronage and collecting after World War II, and the manner in which London has recently become a metropolis of contemporary art. Yet the authors’ strengths lie not only in these grand themes, but also in their mastery of detail through the different eras. They write with equal authority about the royal patronage and collecting of the Tudor period, with which they begin, and the collectors of today.

Includes over 300 illustrations, including many of the greatest works of art to have featured in British collections.

Jules Chéret Pioneer of Poster Art EDITED

BY

MICHAEL BUHRS

Jules Chéret (1836-1932) is considered the father of modern posters.

Through the use of colour lithography he developed commercial posters into an independent art form and contributed to the transformation of the urban image of the art metropolis Paris with his enormous production of colour posters and advertising art. The effect of his work wasn’t only noticeable in public spaces, but also influenced artists like Henri ToulouseLautrec who consequently adopted the medium and developed its visual language further. As a lithographer, printer, designer, painter, decorator and illustrator, Jules Chéret was a prominent figure in Parisian art and literary circles at the end of the 19th and beginning of the 20th century.

ISBN: 9783897903562 Arnoldsche Art Publishers 270 x 210mm.

168pp. 121col.

January 2012 £35.00 Flexibind with flaps

This publication focuses on his pioneering poster art, which covers a wide range of subjects from circuses, concerts and exhibitions to ready-made fashion, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals and press products, thanks to the increased demand brought about by the liberalisation of the media, the development of the rail network and the upturn in economy and trade.

Jules Chéret developed a striking individual style in the neo-rococo tradition, but that also displayed the first modern elements which were to fascinate impressionists like Georges Seurat. Text in English and German.

The Belle Époque (Beautiful Era), which dates from the late nineteenth century to the start of World War I, was an incredible period of creative and scientific activity. Until his death in 1901 at the age of 36, Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec was one of its leading names along with poets and writers such as Guy de Maupassant and Emile Zola. He exhibited with Vincent Van Gogh and was a friend of Oscar Wilde whom he met during his time in London. Creating literally thousands of artworks during his short life, the images that Toulouse-Lautrec created were evocative of the mood of that time. His drawings and lithographs were often playful or satirical, but captured the essence of his subject This book brings together over 170 images. In addition, there are documentary images from the period depicting life in fin de siècle Paris and selected cities around the world. Clothing, architecture and images of street life are featured and where possible photographs of the people ToulouseLautrec featured in his works such as Aristide Bruant.

Impressionists in their Gardens explores gardens through the senses of the Impressionists from three continents - Europe, North America and Australia enjoying the essentially similar pleasures of the garden, but engaging with the light from their skies in order to create very different sensations. The enclosure of the garden acts like a picture frame showcasing a living canvas that exudes the individuality, vision and taste of its tenants, their family, friends, lifestyles and, in the simple words of the greatest Impressionist and gardener Monet, providing motifs to paint.

In Aldeburgh: A Portrait Tim Coates tells the story of the English sea-side fishermen’s town that became the home of Benjamin Britten’s Music festival. Of the Romans he says ‘much of what they saw has not changed’ as he describes how the town suffered invasions over 1000 years from the sea. Saxon towers became Norman Churches used as lookouts over sea and land. In Tudor times the town became one of the important shipbuilding centres of the Navy. The Moot Hall was the market centre and meeting house of the Burghers and Bailiffs who later became the characters of George Crabbe’s tales of the village. It was the reading of these that captured the imagination of the young British composer Benjamin Britten while on a wartime tour of America and he turned them into the first great opera of the post second world war era at Sadlers’ Wells: Peter Grimes. Coates describes the relationship of Britten and his companion Peter Pears with the town and includes some never-before published material from the archive of the Britten Pears library in the Red House in Aldeburgh. The book is a collection of histories and tales of the town, with full colour illustrations by painters, maps, photographs and drawings of the landscape, the sea and the people. Aldeburgh: A Portrait is a Suffolk seaside companion to the successful book on Southwold, by Geoffrey Munn, published by Antique Collectors’ Club in 2007.

Abram Games Design NAOMI GAMES AND BRIAN WEBB • Best known as WW2’s ‘Official War Poster Artist’ and designer of the Festival of Britain's emblem, Abram Games was considered to be one of 20th century Britain’s most significant designers

This is an intriguing introduction to the graphic work of Abram Games. With images drawn from his personal archive, many less well known, it is possible to follow the social history of 20th Century Britain. For more than six decades Abram worked entirely on his own, always adhering to his personal maxim of ‘maximum meaning, minimum means’.

From the start, Abram Games was determined to become one of Britain’s great poster designers and would often say, “I have a small talent which I polish like a diamond.”

A first generation Londoner, and an autodidact, he maintained that the three qualities a designer needs are curiosity, concentration and courage. These he had in abundance.

Yasuhisa Kohyama’s masterly ceramics are inspired by the ancient Jomon and Yayoi ceramics of Japan. Using the distinctive Shigaraki clay and a wood-firing anagama kiln, he has created modern ceramic vessels and sculpture, which are vigorous and new, but timeless in their beauty. Kohyama cuts large blocks of solid clay into asymmetrical forms. The clay creates a tactile quality not often seen in contemporary work. No glazes are used, but the wood ash and the placement in the kiln produce an extraordinary array of colours and shading on the surface.

Anne-Mie Van Kerckhoven HAMZAH WALKER Anne-Mie Van Kerckhoven (b.1951, Antwerp) explores the relationship between art, science and social reality. She has been prolific since the early 1980s in her output of drawings, collages on paper and synthetic material, as well as short films and animations. She observes the abhorrent and the obscene in society from a female point of view and often flirts with the boundaries of the permissible.

An unequivocally feminist tone pervades in all her work, in which the erotic meets machine fetishism.

Contemporary artists often borrow, steal, recycle or sample from earlier works. The classic fairy tale with its wondrous, sometimes fearsome creatures is one of the themes that is frequently reverted to.

Dragons, fairies, gnomes and witches are omnipresent in today’s art. In this catalogue Olivier Duquenne collects, presents and comments on the works of Alice Anderson, Matthew Barney, Catherine Bay, Katia Bourdarel, Will Cotton, Wim Delvoye, Jim Dine, Anna Gaskell, Karen Knorr and Kiki Smith.

Manievich was a prominent figure in the artistic worlds of early 20th century Europe and America. Until now there has been no comprehensive study of the symbolism that underlies his major paintings; works that the authors believe require examination within the context of Jewish Futurism. This discussion of the ideas characteristic of Jewish Futurist painting will further the understanding of the contribution of Jewish artists to the artistic and literary avant-garde of the time.

Pomology is a strand of botany specialising in the study of types and varieties of fruit, together with their description and classification. In 1758, the Dutch scientist and mathematician Johann Hermann Knoop produced an extensive work with descriptions and illustrations of “the best varieties of endangered apples and pears in Holland, Germany, France, England, and other countries, which was the reason why they were grown.” Two years later, in 1760, his work was translated into German, and soon began to enjoy growing popularity owing to the great interest the cultivation of new varieties aroused. In 1766, Johann Michael Seligmann updated his work and new illustrations were added in the most vibrant colours. This sequel to Pomologia was complemented with several varieties of cherries and plums which are included in this facsimile.

Johann Hermann Knoop (1700-1769) was a Dutch scientist and mathematician. He was head gardener to the Dowager Princess of Orange at Marienburg. Beyond cultivating of the plants, Koop was part of the developing science of garden design, combining land surveying and mathematics.

This book is for students, amateur astronomers, and anyone who has looked up at the sky and wondered about our place in the universe.

OF A

BELGIAN WRITER

Georges Simenon, (1903-1989) a prolific writer, and one of the world’s most translated, is perhaps best known for the creation of the fictional detective Maigret, and is also the author of a particularly rich correspondence. From the manuscript written in the solitude of his office to the letters exchanged with his friends or his colleagues, Georges Simenon’s writings reveal an intimate facet of his character. He unveils his love for his family, his affection for his mother despite their difficult relationship, his modesty towards the world of letters and even his writing tics.

Not as prominent as some of the other foreigners who frequented this magnificent city, in time they still left their mark on Thailand in subtle ways. Several of the Jewish residents were “ground breakers” in that they helped to establish such significant institutions as the Thai stock market.

Lambic is a distinctive type of beer, brewed only in certain regions of Belgium. Unlike conventional beers, lambic beer is produced by spontaneous fermentation - it is exposed to wild yeasts, as opposed to the usual carefully cultivated strains of brewer’s yeasts. The result is a beer with a highly distinctive flavour. The first part of a prestigious series dedicated to Belgian beers, this book richly illustrates the story of the most famous breweries and beers, discussing their origins, quality labels, the development of the different breweries and the production processes of the beers.

Jef Van den Steen is a beer expert and a microbrewer. He has written several books on beer and travels the world to give lectures on the brewing process.

Who better to praise the art of wine and food matching than Philippe Faure-Brac - sommelier, restauranteur and wine expert extraordinaire.

Learn what certain wines can do for certain foods: to complement asparagus, salt cod brandade or stuffed cabbage, to ennoble quail with grapes a goat's cheese or a lemon tart; and learn what certain dishes can do for certain wines: magnify a Pomerol, glorify a Vosne-Romanee or tease out the charms of a Chablis. These are just a few of the featured stars in this compilation of 66 proven food and wine marriages, all based on classical French cuisine. They range from simple to the more ambitious and, in some cases, the downright unconventional - and they all work surprisingly well. Each featured combination is accompanied by a list of suitable alternatives: other wines that would also enhance the aromas of the dish, and other dishes that would pair happily with the wine.

Philippe Faure-Brac explains each choice in terms of aromas flavours, textures and terroir characteristics. As practical as it is enjoyable, the book comes complete with recipes, two cross-referenced wine and dish indexes and a listing of the author’s preferred producers. Philippe Faure-Brac was nominated World’s Best Sommelier in 1992, having been previously Best Young Sommelier of France in 1984, then Best Sommelier of France in 1988.

Traditional textbooks on (strategic) marketing limit themselves to a theoretical exposé on how to operate an organisation in an imaginary competition. This publication provides a way of thinking and a method with which organisations truly can enhance their competitive strength, and make it sustainable. This book discusses five questions in the strategic domains that plague managers and leaders: 1. Do we have an adequate understanding of our external and internal environments? How do we compete today? 2. What is our strategic ambition? 3. Where and how should we compete in the future? How do we optimally evaluate our strategic options? 4. How do we get to where we want to be in the future? How can we successfully implement our marketing plans? 5. What will be the return on our strategy in the future? For our customers, our shareholders, our employees, and other stakeholders?

In particular, there are two groups of readers who can learn to excel in their markets. In the first place, the manager or student receives handles to recognise strategic marketing issues and how to find adequate solutions for these. Second, readers who teach at or advise in common or corporate universities receive an innovative and clear framework with many exercises.

A new, completely updated edition of the indispensable marketing guide.

MARIANNE DUBUC • A beautifully poetic story of a cat and a red fish • The original edition was the 2008 winner of the Prix Lux/ /Grafika in the children category, Quebec's award for illustrated books

The Sea tells the story of a determined cat and a vivid red fish. A red fish who doesn’t want to end up as a snack… to escape, the fish has a very long way to go…

A fantastic pursuit that starts in a glass bowl and doesn’t even stop on the Moon, giving wings to the fish and to fantasy. A silent voyage, where every stroke of the pencil evokes a sound - the air amidst the clothes hanging out in the sun, the rustling of leaves and the eloquent glances that better than words translate the feelings of pursuant and pursued.

Marianne Dubuc studied graphic design at the Université de Québec in Montreal. She illustrates children books and is also a writer.

She has become internationally acclaimed since the publication of her first book, The Sea. Her latest book, In Front of My House, has sold over 50,000 copies in 12 different languages and was one of the finalist for the 2011 Deutsche Jugendliteratur Preis.

Gardens for a Beautiful America, 1895-1935 Photographs by Frances Benjamin Johnston SAM WATTERS At the opening of the 20th century, Americans looked out of their windows and saw a landscape that had radically changed since their countryside childhoods. Since the close of the Civil War, the nation had become a land of industrial cities.

Smokestacks, blackened skies, billboards and honky-tonk signs lined busy roads, and railroads ripped through golden corn fields.

City streets and backyards were treeless and barren. Shocked into action, wealthy women rallied the Garden Club of America in 1913 to garden the 48 states back to moral and environmental health through design and preservation. To spread the word, they commissioned photographs to show all gardeners, rich and poor, what a garden should be. For this progressive challenge they turned to Frances Benjamin Johnston, celebrity photographer of country estates.

Gardens for a Beautiful America 1895 - 1935, presents for the first time 250 coloured photographs of urban and suburban gardens taken by Frances Benjamin Johnston and preserved by the Library of Congress for over 70 years. Prepared as glass slides for Johnston’s illustrated lectures, these photographs still resonate with her crusading message: garden the nation back to America the beautiful - one elm, one rose, one fountain and shady terrace at a time.

This volume examines Jekyll’s work at Manor House, Upton Grey, offering an insight into her eclectic, imaginative, and inspiring art.

Designed between 1908 and 1909, and once maintained by as many as nine gardeners, the garden fell into disrepair by the second half of the twentieth century, before a full and accurate restoration was carried out in the early 1980s.

This book presents a rare visual record of the garden’s history, with original plans and photographs, as well as beautiful images of the garden taken since its restoration.

Including a fascinating chapter about her discovery, admiration and use of

Mediterranean plants, the book succeeds in illustrating exactly why Jekyll was so admired in her lifetime and why she continues to inspire and influence gardeners today.

Ferneries, Follies, Grottoes, Fountains and Garden Ornaments The Pulham Legacy CLAUDE HITCHING WITH PHOTOGRAPHY BY JENNY LILLY This book tells the story of James Pulham & Son, the eminent family of Victorian and Edwardian landscape artists who specialised in the construction of picturesque rock gardens, ferneries, follies and grottoes. The book covers more than four generations of the family business that was also responsible for the manufacture of extremely high-quality terracotta garden ornaments including fountains, vases, sundials and bulastrading.

The rock gardens, for which the firm are mainly remembered today, were built with ‘artifical’ rocks - formed from heaps of old bricks and rubble, coated with cement, and sculpted to simulate the colour and texture of natural stone. The author’s interest in James Pulham & Son stems from the fact that no fewer than five of his ancestors worked for the company as ‘rock builders’.

Claude Hitching is a retired Management Accountant, and started to research his family tree in 1999. He always knew that his grandfather,worked for James Pulham and Son as a ‘Rock Builder’, and soon discovered that no fewer than five of his ancestors worked for the firm in the same capacity.

Claude spent the next 10 years researching the family and their business. Claude received endorsements and encouragement for his research from several National organisations, such as English Heritage, the Garden History Society and the National Trust, and he decided to set up this website devoted to the Pulhams at www.pulham.org.uk in 2003. Traffic increased steadily, and his reputation as ‘The Pulham Expert’ spread to the point where he has been able to assist a number of local authorities and organisations validate the provenance of their parks and gardens, and thus qualify for Heritage Lottery restoration grants.
