Mary Houston came from Coleraine, County Londonderry and in 1890 went to study at the Dublin Metropolitan School of Art. In 1894 and 1895 she exhibited lace and crochet at the Royal Dublin Society and black and white drawings at the Arts and Crafts Society of Ireland. The following year she won prizes for leather-work and repousse metal-work. In 1896 she moved to London to study at South Kensington where she became extremely successful. She began to exhibit with the English Arts and Crafts Society, and won a gold medal for a modelled leather book cover. In 1901 she exhibited with the Royal Academy. Her book bindings, including the Rubiayat of Omar Kayam were very popular and she also embossed and modelled leather panels. She was also a fine metal-worker, working in silver, copper and pure tin and in 1900, her toilet set in beaten silver was sent to the Paris exhibition as an example of work from British Art Schools. She often used designs inspired by Irish myth and legend. She was commissioned by the Studio to design two silver trophies. Later in her career she turned to Celtic style designs. Although an international artist, she continued to exhibit at the Royal Dublin Society and at the Irish Decorative Art Association Exhibitions held in Portrush, County Antrim. She joined the staff of Camberwell School of Art and became interested in costume design, and wrote three books on the subject: Ancient Egyptian, Assyrian and Persian Costumes (with Florence Hornblower); Medieval Costume in England and France and Ancient Greek, Roman and Byzantine Costume.".

Barbay, Lijnen, Thomas, - sporen van de groote oorlog in houthalen

heemkring Houthalen, 2014 hardcover, 151 pag. afbeeldingen. ¶ In Houthalen zijn er zeker sporen te vinden van de Eerste Wereldoorlog, voornamelijk in de vorm van verhalen en documentatie. Een lokaal geschiedenis- en heemkundekring heeft een boek uitgebracht met de titel "Sporen van de Groote Oorlog in Houthalen". Dit boek bevat foto's, illustraties en verhalen over de gebeurtenissen tijdens de Eerste Wereldoorlog in Houthalen en in de Westhoek. Daarnaast is er archeologisch onderzoek gedaan, maar dit heeft geen sporen van de oorlog aan het licht gebracht.

- Which Card Is the Larger? Mystify Your Friends. An Illusion

S. l. Monarch Foods, 1925. First Edition. Two, die-cut, card stock pieces + original envelope; cards - 4 x 2 1/4, lithographed recto, text and photographic images to verso (of one of them); minor wear to edges and light off-setting; very good or better condition. Envelope - 4 1/2 x 2 1/2; beige stock, printed in dark-blue; a rubbed spot with glue residue to front panel; very good- condition. A wonderful advertisement for Monarch Foods, the cards featured various company products, arranged in such a way, which created an optical illusion of one of them seemingly looking smaller than the other. One of the cards also included photographs of three of the Monarch factories, in Rochester, MN, Salem, OR, and Chicago, Ill. Monarch Foods, nowadays an entity of US Foods, traced its origins to the Reid Murdoch Company, which was founded in 1853 to provision Gold Rush wagons heading west, and produced a variety of canned foods, including olive oil, vegetables, coffee, candies, etc. Very good .
