["This charming flower calendar is a facsimile edition of a hand-illustrated manuscript created in 1913 by A K Landale. Agnes Katherine Landale, or Aggie as she was known to her family and friends, was married to an Indian merchant with a Scottish background. She lived in the pretty Surrey village of Limpsfield in a large house, where a team of eight gardeners tended a large garden with far-reaching views down to a lake and the village church beyond. It had an abundance of colour overflowing with plants. An enormous greenhouse was crammed with peaches, nectarines and grapes. Aggie took inspiration from this remarkable garden to create this lavish calendar.

paperback. Zustand: Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor.

Born into the British nobility and married into one of Germany's most powerful princely houses, the Princess occupied a unique position at the intersection of two empires, offering readers unparalleled insights into the social and political dynamics of the Edwardian era.The narrative details the splendors of court life, the complexities of international diplomacy, and the personal struggles of a woman caught between her English heritage and her German duties during the lead-up to and the duration of the Great War. Through personal letters and diary entries, the work explores themes of identity, social duty, and the tragic dissolution of the old European order.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Memoir and Correspondence of Caroline Herschel (1876) contains the letters and diaries of the celebrated astronomer Caroline Herschel (1750-1848), edited by her niece, Mary Herschel. Caroline was born in Hanover to a musician father and an illiterate mother who did not want her daughter to be educated. However Caroline's brother William, an organist employed in Bath, persuaded their mother to allow Caroline to join him there. She left for England in 1772 to live with William, to whom she remained devoted all of her life. In Bath, William turned towards telescope-making and astronomy, to such effect that in 1781 he discovered the planet Uranus. He was appointed 'the King's astronomer' in 1782, and Caroline, trained by William, continued to work at his side as a scientist in her own right. Between them, they discovered eight comets and raised the number of recorded nebulae from a hundred to 2500.…
