Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Very Good. 252 pages : illustrations (some colour) ; 28 cm. "Published in conjunction with an exhibition of American folk art canes from the collection of George H. Meyer, held at the Museum of American Folk Art, New York, June 4-September 14, 1992"--Title page verso. Summary:"Hand-carved canes are a part of America's culture and art, speaking to our rich national heritage and capacity for self-expression. As vehicles of personal communication and group identity, American folk art canes display images ranging from King Kong to depression-era bathing beauties, from boxer "Gentleman Jim" Corbett to an anonymous shoemaker, and from Civil War soldiers to Dolly Parton. Symbols of fraternal and military organizations also occupy the miniature world on the cane, as do representations of nature, from snakes swallowing frogs to bee-filled gardens." "American Folk Art Canes: Personal Sculpture is the first comprehensive, scholarly book focusing on American folk canes and will be a foundation for future research in the field. Reproduced in full color, more than three hundred canes dating from the early nineteenth century to today disclose the complex cultural meanings, obscure individual histories, and light-hearted social commentaries of folk art walking sticks. Detailed, comparative, and historical photographs show the diverse styles, techniques, and themes used by the generations of American carvers who have mastered this expressive and utilitarian art form. Each illustration eloquently demonstrates the carvers' artistry in transforming a simple functional object into a work of art." "The introduction and eight original essays by noted scholars examine the methods of dating canes, their sculptural and symbolic qualities, and the aesthetic character and history of Native American, African-American, Civil War, fraternal, and contemporary canes. Details of the canes' imagery, origins, and composition are given in an extensive documentation section. Color plates of related folk art carvings, a selected bibliography, and a thorough index supplement the book."--Jacket.

Zustand: guter Zustand. George Cattermole H. K. Browne, genannt Phiz (illustrator). F. guter Zustand, geringe Gebrauchs- und Alterungsspuren: Papier teils etwas vergilbt, aber Seiten überwiegend sauber und ordentlich - komplett mit Anstreichungen, Markierungen oder Randnotizen mit Bleistift, im hinteren Vorsatz umfangreiche Bleistiftnotizen - Schutzumschläge gering defekt Erstausgabe der Übersetzung von Margit Meyer "Wie in allen Romanen von Charles Dickens begegnet uns auch hier eine Fülle verschiedenartiger, sehr einprägsamer Gestalten, deren Schicksale durch eine Reihe merkwürdiger und höchst aufregender Ereignisse miteinander verbunden sind. Den geschichtlichen Hintergrund und zugleich dramatischen Höhepunkt der Handlung gibt ein Aufstand, der im Juni 1780 in London ausbrach. Damals unterlagen die Katholiken Diskriminierungen, die durch ein Gesetz des Parlaments aufgehoben werden sollten, während Lord George Gordon als Präsident einer Vereinigung wirkte, die sich gegen die Gleichstellung der Katholiken richtete. Durch Gerüchte und unsinnige Behauptungen wurde das Volk aufgewiegelt, und eine Petition sollte im Verein mit einer Demonstration seiner Anhänger das Gesetz verhindern. Die Bewegung entglitt jedoch Lord Gordon. Es kam zu Exzessen gegen die Katholiken. Eindrucksvoll schildert Dickens, wie sich die blinde Wut der Aufrührer in Plünderung, Brandstiftung und sinnloser Zerstörung austobt. Die Urheber und Drahtzieher, die im Hintergrund bleiben und straffrei ausgehen, sind 'ehrenwerte' Gentleman . "Barnaby Rudge" ist der zweiteselbstständige Roman, den Dickens unter dem Obertitel "Meister Humphreys Wanduhr" veröffentlichte. Mit dem ersten Roman "Der Raritätenladen" ist er durch die Rahmenhandlung verbunden. Beide Werke erschienen in Heften 1840 und 1841 in London."
