Abstract:

 The article describes the theoretical and practical questions that rise by including blind and partial sighted students at an art academy. Several examples are presented, like the painter Jonathan Huxley, who studied at the Royal Academy in London or the scluptor Flavio Titolo, who did his art program at the University of the West of England in Bristol. The main theoretical questions go beyond an interpretion of the arts as visual or merely conceptual, and the practical approach includes haptic techniques and sensibilities which might otherwise be none discovered.

Abstract The discovery of an account held by Handel at the Bank of England in 1721 offers new documentary information about his financial transactions and evidence for his residence before the move to Brook Street. Careful consideration of the circumstances surrounding this account leads to a reinterpretation of Handel’s short-lived accounts with the Royal African Company in 1720 and sheds light on Handel’s South Sea Annuities account (1723–32). An analysis of the South Sea Annuities account clarifies its origin and explains its pattern of credits and withdrawals, suggests the exact salary Han

In particular there are several drawings from the years 1771 to 1784, when Soane was a student and exhibitor at the Royal Academy, a competition entrant, and in the first years of practice. Later sketch designs by Dance for Soane then relate to several phases of the rebuilding of the Ba

Abstract In 1719, the Royal Academy of Music was founded with the purpose of setting Italian opera in England on solid ground. Previously, at least two thirds of the Italian operas staged in London had been pasticci. Much of the criticism of the Italian opera before 1719 concerned stylistic fickleness. This is just one reason why it seems likely that the declining number of pasticci after 1719 can be interpreted as an effect of the move against stylistic compilations in music. In fact, in the first period of the Academy’s opera management (from 1720 to 1728) the share of pasticci fell to appro

The first section details a virtuoso aesthetic in which a modern approach to the cultural heritage of antiquity was central. The instructive ethical and historical

Abstract This article assesses the role of the female cadaver in the design of 16 Great Windmill Street in London, the house/museum/anatomy theater complex built in 1767 by Robert Mylne, student of Piranesi, and William Hunter, man-midwife, physician to the queen of England, and first professor of anatomy at the Royal Academy. The focus on the female cadaver exposes the rigid gendering of emergent spaces of modern Western science. More important, this investigation suggests that the subaltern subject of a building might act less as a passive object and more as an active agent in the generation

Abstract:

R Burton Deane, a Mounted Police officer, was instrumental in the development of theatre in the Prairie West between 1883 and 1901. His interest in theatre had been an outgrowth of his performance of magic tricks. As an adjutant for the Royal Marines in England he had been placed in charge of a theatre and in that capacity he gained considerable experience in producing, directing and acting. The pioneer communities of Regina and Lethbridge received the benefit of Deane's expertise. His productions supported local charities, improved relations between the Mounties and the local elite, raised cr

Abstract:

This article examines the economic incentives for Europeans to migrate to the so-called ‘white man’s grave’ of West Africa. Ignorance and coercion have been proposed as explanations for migration to high mortality areas. We use data on the Royal African Company and their European employees on the Gold Coast during the period 1707–1740. We found that the employees received a premium above the wage they would have received in England. Economic reasons might therefore have swayed the decision to migrate. Nevertheless, the wage premium was low in relation to the very high risk of dying. The migrat

I present estimates here of the geographic persistence of estate owners and managers in Barbados during 1673–1723. The estimates are based on evidence generated by the functioning of an economic market; the evidence was produced by tracing the names of purchasers over time through the invoice accounts of slave sales held by the Royal African Company on the island.Estimated rates of out-migration from Barbados were low during the 1670s, comparable in magnitude to those found in colonial New England towns, but the rates rose considerably during the following decades.

Our aim was to assess whether CVI rates could be improved by promoting clinician awareness. We collected CVI data for Sight Impairment (SI) and Severe Sight Impairment (SSI) from a prospective MS Excel database maintained at RCHT for all certifications between 1 August 2014 and 31 July 2016. Annual local certification rates were compared to regional and national rates using data from Public Health Outcom

Abstract:

In late Victorian England, dance teachers lacked national representation and means of communication among themselves to address professional concerns. By 1930, at least ten professional associations had emerged in Britain, some of which, such as the Royal Academy of Dance (RAD), The British Association of Teachers and Dancing (BATD) and the Imperial Society of Teachers of Dancing (ISTD), are still active today. Little has been written about the wider context of their foundation and of earlier initiatives to establish a professional body for dance pedagogy in England. A key figure in contempora

Abstract:

This report describes a group of distinctive earthworks in the north-east of the North York Moors (fig. 1) that, prior to investigation by the RCHME, had been categorised as double pit-alignments. The earthworks consist of two or three pairs of pits, with the spoil from the pits spread into parallel enclosing banks. The orientation of the segments is fairly consistent along an axis north-west to south-east; in each case there seems to be a tangential alignment on burial mounds, putatively Bronze Age in date, which may give a clue as to their age and function.

Following the loss in 1712 of its previous monopoly over British trade with West Africa, the Royal African Company found itself unable to compete with smaller, lower-cost British slave traders and nearly collapsed entirely. Salvation seemed to arrive in 1720 in the person of James Brydges, the Duke of Chandos, who led a massive re-capitalization of the company and made the strategic decision to move its focus to the commodity trade between Europe and Africa and on the search for new botanical and mineral resources in Africa itself.

Carl Wilhelm Scheele (1742–1786) has an important place in the history of the discovery of respiratory gases because he was undoubtedly the first person to prepare oxygen and describe some of its properties. Despite this, his contributions have often been overshadowed by those of Joseph Priestley and Antoine Lavoisier, who also played critical roles in preparing the gas and understanding its nature. Sadly, Scheele was slow to publish his discovery and therefore Priestley is rightly recognized as the first person to report the preparation of oxygen. This being said, the thinking of both Scheele

A key ingredient in New England’s shipping successes was the speed with which its vessels completed their voyages. The principle research on this subject was completed by Gary Walton and published in its first form in 1967. Walton was ahead of his time in identifying the importance of a detailed study of colonial shipping and linking it to a broader Atlantic World. He draws several conclusions. First, that technological change between 1675 and 1775 was minimal in the industry. Second, costs and crew sizes declined due to increases in security after the Royal Navy eliminated piracy.
