I’d often wondered about Shoreham. It’s famous as the inspiration for many of Samuel Palmer’s bucolic paintings, but on the map it’s surrounded by motorways, an edgeland bor…
Creator: Unidentified Location: Brisbane, Queensland Description: A Bulimba horsedrawn tram appears in the foreground. In 1849 immigrants from the ship 'Fortitude' arrived in Brisbane. They named the low lying land they occupied Fortitude Valley after the ship which brought them to Australia. Within a few years they had established thriving farms and dairies. By the early 1850s the Valley had 150 houses and cottages as well as two hotels and one store. By the 1880s the area was densely settled, and in 1891 the train was extended to Fortitude Valley from the city. Up until the 1960s the Valley was a major retail centre, dominated by the department stores of T.C. Beirnes, McWhirters and Overells, which had all begun in the 1890s. These firms dominated retailing outside the city centre for over half a century. In the latter part of the twentieth century population and business declined. However the rise in inner city living and the restaurant/nightclub scene has led to a resurgence of the Fortitude Valley area.

An authoritative history on the exquisite jewelry of ancient Nubia Located at the intersection of trade routes from central Africa, the ancient Near East and the Classical world, ancient Nubia ruled the entire Nile Valley at the height of its power in the eighth century B.C. Its neighbor and frequent rival Egypt called it the gold lands because its territories held such an abundance of the precious metal, and because its inhabitants produced some of the most finely crafted jewelry of the ancient world. This book features over 100 adornments and personal accessories from the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, which houses the finest collection of Nubian jewelry outside Khartoum. The first comprehensive introduction to the sophisticated jewels of this great empire, it reveals how Nubian artisans employed techniques that would not be reinvented in Europe for another two thousand years, and how the original owners valued such possessions not only for their inherent beauty, but also because they were imbued with magical meanings. Exquisite photography and an authoritative history written by leading experts make this book essential for both jewelry aficionados and anyone interested in the great cultures of the ancient world. | Author: Yvonne J.

Notes: A Miners' Hut, Lithgow Valley NSW, c.1880 The Vale of Clwydd Colliery was separated from the rest of Lithgow by a mountain spur, and operated at the edge of a secluded swampy gully. One of its tunnels extended under the swamp, making working conditions extremely unsafe. Living conditions were scarcely more pleasant in spite of the romantic view that this official photograph and a Sydney Mail account suggest : "The miners' homes are scattered about, some of them in the forest... These habitations are of the rudest description being in many instances composed of logs of wood cemented together with tenacious mud and covered either with canvas or bark. Yet inside these I was astonished to find a snugness which contrasts greatly with the exterior and people seemed quite happy in these rude houses."

ORIGINAL VINTAGE STONE LITHOGRAPH SPANISH CITRUS CRATE LABEL. EARLIEST SPANISH CRATE LABEL I HAVE EVER SEEN. LOOKS SIMILAR TO A TURN OF THE CENTURY CALIFORNIA LABEL. LABEL IS IN VERY GOOD CONDITION SOME MINIMAL BLEMISHES, VERY FAINT WATER STAINING ON BOTTOM LEFT CORNER EDGE PRIMARILY, AS SHOWN IN SCAN . GUARANTEED AUTHENTIC. MEASURING APPROXIMATELY 10.25X10.75". Original vintage commercial advertising label. These labels were pasted on the ends of wooden crates packed with oranges lemons apples and other fruits and vegetables. These colorful crates were shipped nationwide via the railway system to be sold in the local markets. Packers and growers would order labels from printing companies that specialized in this work, these companies employed commercial artists in large numbers. The artists were not paid well, and rarely received any acknowledgment for there creations. Most commercial use of labels ended during wwii due to commodity rationing and shortages. The cardboard box was adapted to ship fruit and labels were almost completely phased out by the 1950s. I will ship all items flat, sandwiched between two study pieces of cardboard. Item will arrive in excellent condition and well protected. I usually ship the same day, unless item is purchased after 2pm in which case I will have it out the following morning.
