The Weston Park Music Collection: Five Generations of Family Music-Making in Eighteenth-Century Staffordshire

Abstract The activities of eighteenth- and nineteenth-century music collectors help to chart the development of the period’s canon and understand the connections between consumers as amateur musicians and collectors and the composers and their music. In 2014, a collection of music came to light at the ancestral seat of the Earls of Bradford, Weston Park in Shropshire, which reveals a scenario of amateur music-making intrinsically linked to the wider professional scene. This collection has been largely ignored due to its unbound state in a private residence. It is of importance for its association with the five generations of the Bridgeman family, and for numerous manuscripts of previously unknown cello works; but crucially, the presence of four manuscript catalogues, a teacher’s bill for music, and an auction sale catalogue dating from the time, helps to fill in the gaps of what was being performed in the house, by whom, where, and when. This article describes seven sources connected with family music-making and presents a catalogue of the current music collection at Weston Park as supplementary material in the form of a data set in an Excel spreadsheet. Readers can consult the collection as it stands today and how it developed over 150 years.

Valuing sculpture in the long eighteenth century: materials and technology

In 1712 the sale catalogue of John Nost’s studio defined the value of sculpture as lying in the intrinsic value of materials, the performance of the artist, and the costs and complexity of sculptural production. This article looks at how these values of materials and making shifted over the course of the following 150 years through specific examples of materials – lead and granite – that gained and then lost value; and how production processes that streamlined sculptural production, notably James Tulloch’s marble works, were first celebrated and then seen as anathema to sculptural value. The article argues for the malleability of sculptural value systems in the long eighteenth century, and the need to understand sculptural value in materials and production in relation to economic and technological history.

390 Colorado State University Seedstock Merchandising Team: Creating Impactful Student Experience and Engagement in the Beef Industry

Abstract Hands-on learning is not a new term for animal science curriculums; in fact, it is often something that sets the major apart. The demand for experiential learning opportunities continues to be strong. Students not only want more experience with livestock, but also learning opportunities that provide impact: labs, field trips, internships, and research for example. Colorado State University is committed to providing unique student opportunities that allow students to gain new perspectives, practice applying foundational knowledge, strengthen professional networks, and grow as young leaders in the agriculture and livestock industries. The CSU Seedstock Merchandising program was founded in 1976 under the direction of Dr. Robert Taylor. Taylor’s work focused on beef cattle systems and management, and he believed that learning happens in and out of the classroom. This philosophy built a long tradition of “learning by doing”. In the spring of 1977, the first group of “Advertising and Merchandising Breeding Cattle” students advertised and sold 17 head of yearling bulls with a sale average of $1,600. In the spring of 2023, the CSU Seedstock Merchandising Team hosted the forty-sixth annual sale selling 28 head of age-advantaged Angus and Hereford bulls averaging $4,196 and 9 Hereford and Commercial Angus bred females averaging $2,639. In the years between these two events, the program expanded. Beginning in 2002, student activities extended beyond organizing and advertising a sale. It was at this time that students began exhibiting cattle at the National Western Stock Show and participating in the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association Convention and Trade Show through hosting a booth on behalf of the CSU Animal Sciences Department. In addition to these activities, students on the Seedstock Merchandising Team are required to register for a series of courses focused on seedstock cattle merchandising and management. These students work extensively with the records of the on-campus teaching herd participating in data collection and management, preparing data for submission to breed associations, making recommendations for annual breeding and selection, as well as management and marketing. Beef industry leaders and fellow seedstock producers are invited into the classroom as guest speakers. Students travel to seedstock operations and sales, study online sales and marketing, practice social media promotions, collect data for the sale catalog, set sale order, identify animals to highlight and photo, as well as host the sale and write a sale report. It is through these experiences that students are developing skills that can be used across a range of careers while also practicing animal husbandry and management knowledge gained across the animal sciences curriculum. Students active in the seedstock program have the opportunity to strengthen data analysis and management, communication, networking, and time management skills, as well as practicing community and industry engagement and industry advocacy.

Application of Augmented Reality for Furniture Catalogs

In the current rapidly developing era of technology and telecommunications, promotional media has become a crucial factor in business, particularly for furniture stores. Although the use of sales catalogs in print media is already common, it often leaves customers dissatisfied because it is only two-dimensional and requires a visit to the store. Therefore, more attractive and innovative promotional media is necessary to increase the appeal and sales value of a store. One technology that can be utilized for this purpose is Augmented Reality (AR) technology, which combines the real and virtual worlds in an Android-based catalog. A catalog application with AR technology can display furniture products in real-time and facilitate customers in selecting furniture by presenting a 3D image of the product from various angles. It is expected that customers will be more interested in furniture catalogs that use Augmented Reality technology and increase the store's sales value.

Racing performance of juvenile Thoroughbreds with femoropatellar osteochondrosis at auction: A retrospective case-control study.

Osteochondrosis dissecans (OCD) is common in the femoropatellar joint in Thoroughbred yearlings for sale at auction and there is no consensus on the effect on racing outcomes. Describe femoropatellar OCD in juvenile Thoroughbreds and compare the racing performance of affected Thoroughbred horses to siblings and unaffected horses from the same sale. Retrospective case-control study of juvenile horses born 2010-2016. Radiographic reports from 27 Thoroughbred auctions of weanling (5-11 months of age) and yearling (12-22 months of age) horses were reviewed to identify femoropatellar OCD. Age and sex of cases and controls were obtained from the sales catalogue. Racing performance was obtained from an online database. Correlation between lesion characteristics and racing performance were assessed using Pearson and Spearman correlations for continuous and ordinal/categorical variables respectively. Racing performance was compared between cases and sibling controls and age- and sex-matched sale number controls from the same sale with Poisson distribution and log link. Significance level of alpha = 0.05 was used. Femoropatellar OCD was identified in 429 horses with North American race records. OCD was present on 519 lateral trochlear ridges and 54 medial trochlear ridges. There were more males in the case group (70%) than in the sibling control group (47%). Case racing performance was compared to 1042 sibling and 757 hip controls. There were significant but small decreases in racing metrics of cases and increases in males for years raced, total starts, starts for 2-5 years of age, total placings, and placings at 2-4 years of age. Analysis of specific lesion metrics revealed weak correlations for performance outcomes (positive and negative) resulting in an inability to draw firm conclusions. Retrospective study where case management was unknown. Femoropatellar OCD in juvenile Thoroughbreds for sale at auction decreases some racing outcomes.

Blake in the Marketplace, 2022

John Windle provided an auspicious beginning for the 2022 Blake market with his February publication of catalogue 70, Present Joy. At 160 pages offering 809 items, this is the second-largest sale catalogue devoted to Blake and his circle, exceeded only by Windle’s October 2009 catalogue 46. The organization of Present Joy is unusual for its genre. The main section is arranged chronologically, with works listed by the year they were originally created, even for later reproductions. Thus, a 1955 facsimile of Songs of Innocence and of Experience appears in the subsection on Blake’s productions of 1789–​94. The catalogue includes three drawings from the smaller Blake-Varley Sketchbook, separate plates including “Chaucers Canterbury Pilgrims,” print series such as the Job and Dante engravings, a large group of Blake’s commercial book illustrations, ranging from his apprentice work in Jacob Bryant’s A New System, or, an Analysis of Ancient Mythology (1774–​76) to John Varley’s Treatise on Zodiacal Physiognomy (1828), and most of the William Muir and Blake Trust/​Trianon Press facsimiles of Blake’s illuminated books. All but a few works by Blake are illustrated. Many items are recorded as “Sold,” including “Holy Thursday” from Songs of Innocence copy W and “A Cradle Song” (both plates) from Songs of Innocence copy Y, and have been listed in earlier installments of these sales reviews. In the listings below, I have included all original materials for the record.

Reducing information barriers to solar adoption: Experimental evidence from India

Off-grid solar technologies hold promise for unelectrified and low-quality electricity settings; however, their adoption remains low. Important barriers to adoption, such as incomplete information remain relatively unexplored in developing countries. In collaboration with a solar company, a randomized experiment was implemented in three Indian states to test whether alleviating information asymmetries between sales agents and potential customers improved predictors and other indicators of adoption of solar rooftop systems. The company’s sales agents were randomly assigned to receive a tablet with either an application designed to ensure potential customers received accurate solar product information during the sales process or only the basic sales catalogue uploaded. Post-treatment, prospective customers approached by the treated sales agents report greater knowledge of the solar products and a better impression of sales agents’ product knowledge and professionalism. The treatment significantly increased potential customers’ intent-to-adopt, a stated preference measure, by 15%; however, the impact on actual adoption was statistically insignificant.

Els viatges dels incunables del Tirant (1490 i 1497) fins a la Hispanic Society of America

Inside and outside covers, ex-libris, supralibris, stamps, are elements that give us valuable clues to reconstruct what we call the external history of old books. Preservation of old sale catalogues with manuscripts’ and early printed editions’ prices of acquisition written down by buyers, among other data, is an invaluable resource for tracing a rich past of collections and bibliophilia, and the reception that certain works got. In this article we focus on Joanot Martorell’s novel Tirant lo Blanc , published twice in the incunable period, first by Nicolau Spindeler in Valencia in 20/11/1490 and then by Pere Miquel in Barcelona in 16/09/1497. We reconstruct the history of those copies preserved in the library of New York’s Hispanic Society of America. These copies’ journey from the old continent to the United States of America allows us to explore the small and restricted market of antiquarian book dealers in late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century Europe, which reveals that the preservation of these copies was made possible by the interest of European booksellers working to meet demands of American bibliophiles wishing to fill their libraries with prestigious medieval works.

Faust: versions avec dialogues by Charles Gounod

Reviewed by: Faust: versions avec dialogues by Charles Gounod Mary Jean Speare Charles Gounod. Faust: versions avec dialogues. Edited by Paul Prévost. Kassel: Bärenreiter, 2020. (L'Opéra français) [2 volumes (clxix, 1089 pp.) Front matter in Fr., Eng., and Ger.: preface, p. vii–viii; introduction, p. ix–lxxxviii; libretto in Fr., p. lxxxix–clxv, score, p. 1–738; appendices in Fr., p. 741–971; crit. rep. in Fr., p. 973–1080; table of scenes in Fr., p. 1080–1084; facsimiles, p. 1085–1089. Cloth. BA 8714-01. ISMN 979-0-006-56325-8. $1,780.] One of the most celebrated and performed works of the French operatic stage is Faust, by Charles Gounod (1818–1893) to a libretto by Jules Barbier and Michel Carré, but the work that is performed today, which is sung throughout, is quite different from the work that was first performed on 19 March 1859 at the Théâtre-Lyrique. Charles Gounod—Faust (versions dialogues) is the sixth work to appear in a new series, L'Opéra français, published by Bärenreiter, Paul Prévost, editor. Charles Gounod—Faust (version opéra), with recitatives and added ballet, which the editor Paul Prévost identifies as the third version of the work, appeared in the series in two volumes in 2016 to be followed by the versions with spoken dialogue (which Prévost labels versions one and two) in 2020. Prévost has provided scholars and performers a rare opportunity to study a work with the complete spoken dialogue (parlé) included in the score. This fact is significant because most nineteenth-century scores only include part of the spoken dialogue with cues (répliques) indicating the last few words of the dialogue leading to musical numbers. Prévost's introduction is a fascinating essay that explains the history of the work from genesis through reception history and that documents the changes it went through. At the outset (p. ix), Prévost explains that the first version was submitted to the Théâtre-Lyrique in 1858 and after many revisions up to and after the March 1859 premiere, the second version is reflected in the first piano-vocal score, which appeared in June 1859. He goes on to state that unfortunately a complete first version is not possible because some sources could not be located (p. ix). Finally, it is important to note that, according to Prévost, the exact form that Faust took in the premiere on 19 March 1859 is unclear, but that it was probably somewhere between the first and second versions (p. xviii). The edition contains the expected detailed critical notes and a thorough discussion of all the sources and appendixes containing fragments, some of which were discovered as late as September 2019 (see p. xxxiv). One of the most tantalizing fragments is from Marguerite's lost mad scene in prison after she has killed her child (pp. 925–31). The text is intact and is given in the libretto (p. clviii), but only part of the music remains, mostly in the string parts with a few fragments of Marguerite's melody. Prévost explains that the complete number, which had [End Page 591] been removed from the autograph, appeared in 1979 in a sale catalog, misidentified as being from Gounod's Le Tribut de Zamora and that its location is unknown (p. 988). In the course of the opera, we see Marguerite's yearning for Faust at the spinning wheel ("Il ne revient pas"), her torment at the hands of Méphistophélès in the church scene and the terrible moment when her dying brother Valentin curses her. Without a solo number for Marguerite in the prison scene before the arrival of Faust, the plot seems incomplete. Faust arrives at the scene and wakes Marguerite ("Ah! C'est le voix du bien aimée!"), but there has been no significant expression of her grief. Thanks to this edition, with the string parts that exist, it might be possible to compose a believable substitute number for this important scene. Prévost's discussion of the work and its sources (such as in the lengthy introduction) is translated...

The Album and the Scrapbook

Much scholarly energy has been spent on reuniting detached manuscript fragments with their original medieval codices, but far less attention has been paid to the pre-twentieth-century albums and scrapbooks which were these fragments’ transitory homes. This article considers the fixing of fragments of medieval manuscripts into blank books during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. It demonstrates the ubiquity of the practice of presenting and preserving miniatures and examples of calligraphy in such contexts, and considers when, why, by whom, and how these assemblages were created. Though now mostly associated with male collectors, the likelihood that women were involved in the physical assembly of albums and scrapbooks is explored, through a focus on Glasgow University Library MS Euing 26 and its creator Esther Cory. In very many instances such albums were subsequently disassembled to facilitate the more profitable sale of individual fragments. Lot descriptions in nineteenth-century sale catalogues provide important testimony to the existence of now vanished albums, and that evidence is interrogated for information about their nature and material forms. A preliminary checklist of extant and disassembled albums and scrapbooks is included in an Appendix.

“Malachite Rooms” of Villa San Donato: The Reconstruction of the Ensembles and the Attribution of the Pieces

Demidoff ’s villa San Donato near Florence, in the middle of the 19th century, was one of the most interesting phenomena of European artistic life. The richest collection, acquired by the two generations of the family and opened for the choice public at the end of the 1850s, was attractive not only for the curious tourist by also for the specialists in the history of art. This collection gives his influence for the collecting of the second half of the 19th century The total liquidation of the 1860s–1880s destroyed this ensemble. However, thanks to the sales catalogues, some detailed descriptions of the interiors of San Donato and the archive’s documents, unique pictures, it becomes possible to restore not only the list of this collection but to try to understand the taste of these collectors. At the end of the 1850s at the rooms of Villa San Donato was amassed one of the most important collections from Russian malachite. Those pieces reflected two main styles applied by European and Russian artists. One of the rooms was decorated by the pieces created in the first third of the 19th century in empire taste. The second interior, remarkable by the concentration of the malachite pieces realized in the middle 19th century was known only by a description completed by the malachite pieces in the second rococo taste. The decoration of this room was destroyed by the sales. However, the study of the descriptions of 1858 and 1864, archive documents, sale catalogues and previous research permit to reconstruct of the main elements of one of the main interiors of the Florentine villa of the Demidoff family and to talk about the very special taste of his members.

Book monument imprint: Identifying via foreign information resources

The author reviews foreign science publication, websites, digital databases, catalogs and methods to be used to specify imprints of book monuments and their history as exemplified by 16-th century collection of Russian Academy of Arts Library. The collection comprises over 60 books published in Western Europe; with the special attention to the collection in architecture, in particular books published by Sebastiano Serlio (1475 – c. 1554). To attribute the publications, the catalogs of foreign museums and libraries, bibliographic, fulltext, factographic and objectographic databases in the art market, e. g. ArtPrice, MutualArt, Invaluable, were used to reveal various guides in 16-th century architecture, catalogs of private collections, and auction sale catalogs. The author discusses the methods to use the identified sources to attribute book monuments, as exemplified by Sebastiano Serlio’s books in architecture, and to investigate into this area further.

Selection of The Most Proper Unmanned Aerial Vehicle for Transportation in Emergency Operations by Using Analytic Hierarchy Process

Today rapid development on Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) technologies continues to evolve and expand its use as a tool that can be used in many fields. The most communal areas for the use of UAV are mapping, assessing, and supporting damage assessments, and search and rescue activities, respectively. However, the application of transporting light and important cargoes that have become widespread recently accessing to the difficult areas is also becoming a new sector in the usage areas of UAV. Lightweight, user-friendly designs of UAVs and flight systems managed by automated workflows giving a convenience for this field application. In this study, two different flight platforms (3 fixed-wing and 3 multi-rotor) of flight parameters evaluated by selecting the sales catalogue. Brand knowledge of the UAVs has not given in consideration of the belief that it may adversely affect commercial competition. The sample modelled as a multi-criteria decision-making problem consisting of quantitative and qualitative criteria, and the analytic hierarchy process (AHS), which clearly reveals the decision-makers' views for such problems. Priorities for the criteria of each alternative for the payload, UAV weight, maximum altitude, maximum speed, flight time and controller range criteria with numerical performance values in order to maintain the consistency problem in the AHS method were figured out by direct assignment. The impact of each criterion in the choice and coherence analysis to determine the effect of each alternative criteria were performed using Expert Choice v2000 software. Because of the analysis made, it is seen that multi-rotor UAVs are the predominant choice for fixed-winged UAVs, among which the UAV_4 flight platform is the most appropriate vehicle for emergency transport with an overall weight of 0.2530. When UAV_4 is compared with other alternative flight platforms, it is seen to be in the foreground according to the criteria of maximum altitude, maximum ground speed, landing field and ease of use. As seen in the analysis of 2-dimensional alternatives at the end of the example, analysis of UAV to be used in emergency transport according to landing field and ease of use criteria revealed that multi-rotor UAVs (UAV_4, UAV_5, UAV_6) have more dominant results than fixed-wing UAVs (UAV_1, UAV_2, UAV_3). Although most of the UAV models being developed are still in prototypes, with the rapid development in the field of technology and the industrial knowledge in these applications, further progress can be expected in the future projects.

A Woman of No Importance?: Elizabeth Workman’s Collection of Impressionist and Post-Impressionist Art in Context

This article discusses Elizabeth Workman’s collection in the context of the early reception of Impressionism by women artists in Britain and the USA. In the 1920s Elizabeth Russell Workman (1874–1962) was recognized as one of the most enlightened collectors of her generation in Britain; Percy Wyndham Lewis described her as ‘one of the only people in England to understand French painting’. She began collecting French Impressionism well before more prominent collectors such as Samuel Courtauld and in several ways was more adventurous in her tastes. And yet today, not only is her important collection of modern French art all but forgotten, Elizabeth Workman herself remains an invisible, unknown figure, occasionally listed in provenance histories, and more often than not under her husband’s name. Born and brought up in Rhu, Dunbartonshire, Elizabeth lived in London with her husband Robert, a prominent shipowner. Her collection included works not only by Scottish contemporary artists, acquired from the early 1900s onwards, but also by Monet, Degas, Sisley, Renoir, Gauguin, Van Gogh, Toulouse-Lautrec, Vuillard, Matisse, Picasso, and Braque, the bulk of which were bought through the dealers Reid &amp; Lefèvre just after the First World War. However, when Robert’s business ran into financial difficulties in the late 1920s much of the collection was dispersed, with the result that its full extent and importance has never properly been recognized. Drawing on material in the family archive, as well as information from sale catalogues and dealer stock books, this article establishes a more comprehensive overview of the Workman collection. Its aim is to reassess Elizabeth’s importance as a British collector in the interwar period and to identify her individual tastes, taking into consideration the changing economic context. It also draws parallels with earlier patterns of collecting among women collectors of the previous generation, especially those whose contribution has been overshadowed by the activities of a spouse or agent.<br>

Genteel or Respectable? the Material Culture of Rural Clergy in Late Georgian England

The vicar and rector often formed part of the elite in English rural communities, elevated in social and moral terms, but also economically and materially. They occupied what was frequently the largest house in the village and sometimes enjoyed close links with the local gentry – as even a cursory reading of the novels of Austen and Elliot makes clear. Indeed, lucrative livings formed one possible option for the younger sons of gentry families. Beyond literary representations, however, we know relatively little about the material lives of these men: the ways in which their houses were furnished or decorated. How deeply did gentility penetrate their domestic arrangements, equipping them to participate in the social rituals and cultural lives of the elite? In this paper, I draw on a collection of sale catalogues for rural and small town clergymen in Northamptonshire, in the English Midlands, to discover the nature and quality of their domestic material culture, from porcelain to cooking pots and from beds to books. Comparisons are drawn with the houses of neighbouring gentry to determine whether these clergymen were genteel, respectable or occupied a particular social and material niche.

90 Effectiveness of an Educational Program on Beef Bull Selection that Incorporates Classroom Instruction and a Mock Auction

Abstract An educational program was developed to assist beef producers with making informed bull purchasing decisions. There are two core pieces to this decision: targeting the bull’s genetics to the producer’s management and resources, and paying a price that maximizes the return on investment. This was a two-part educational program; the first session was classroom instruction with topics related to proper bull selection. At the conclusion of this session producers were assigned one of five management scenarios and received a sale catalogue with 60 bulls. Videos of all bulls were made available, along with all production information, including adjusted measurements, EPD and indices. The producers were tasked with returning the next week to attend the mock auction and purchase the best valued bull for their assigned scenario. At the conclusion of the auction, each scenario was discussed and the individual that purchased the best value bull in each scenario was recognized. Value was determined as the price paid for the bull compared to a price determined through an “economic selection index” equation. Beef producers (n = 322) participated in the program over 9 locations; in locations with less attendance, a reduced sale catalogue was used. Of the post-program survey respondents (n = 155), 71% were commercial beef producers, 27% were seedstock producers and 5% were Extension agents (n = 10, were cross classified). When asked how much time they spent reviewing the materials before the mock sale 8% said they made their decision at the sale, 16% spent 30 minutes or less, 58% spent 30 minutes to 2 hours and 18% spent over 2 hours preparing. When asked if the program would help with their next bull purchase, 88% said it would probably or definitely help. The conclusion was that this was a valuable educational program.

Los catálogos de venta de las librerías argentinas: eclosión y especialización de un medio publicitario efímero, 1850-1920

Los catálogos de venta de libros son una fuente principal en la historia del comercio del libro. Su razón publicitaria permite acercarse a los ritmos del mercado del libro y orienta sobre las modalidades y estrategias usadas por los libreros para alcanzar sus clientelas. La condición efímera de estos materiales ha impedido, sin embargo, documentar su impacto en la vida comercial urbana o incluso determinar la frecuencia de su uso por parte de los libreros. Sobre una base de datos que registra más de 500 catálogos publicados para el espacio cultural argentino entre 1850 y 1920, este artículo identifica y analiza los momentos de auge de estas producciones, releva sus orígenes y emisores, y señala algunas de sus transformaciones en el tiempo. El estudio enfatiza así la necesidad de reconocer al catálogo de librería como un material primario en la consolidación de una cultura impresa en la Argentina.

Misdescription and Misrepresentation Liability Arising Out of Art Auctions in New Zealand

Assumptions that successful bidders carry the risk in terms of artwork that is either mis-described or misrepresented by art auctioneers is challenged, for New Zealand at least. This is because descriptions of works to be auctioned are invariably proffered in sale catalogs as unqualified assertions of fact (or opinion based on fact), inviting reliance. Further, consumer protection legislation in New Zealand overrides privity of contract, enabling courts to give relief where the auction contract terms are found to be unfairly weighted against the successful bidder, as a consumer. For New Zealand, these arguments may be more persuasively made, given a significant number of bidders are members of the general public.
