The lamp is inside a plastic display box with a wooden base. Oil lamps were made of common pottery in the ancient world people did not have much light at nights most homes would contain several oil lamps because olive oil was in abundance and therefore not expensive. There was also an oven that provided a little bit of light but the oil lamps were the main source of light in every home. In excellent condition.<br/><br/>Lamps appear in the Torah and other Jewish sources as a symbol of "lighting" the way for the righteous the wise and for love and other positive values. While fire was often described as being destructive light was given a positive spiritual meaning. The oil lamp and its light were important household items and this may explain their symbolism. Oil lamps were used for many spiritual rituals. unknown books

185528465Susquehanna Depot 1855. Pencil pen and ink. Signed in ink: "Theodore Krausch. Susquehana sic Depot. N.Y. and Erie Railroad. October 13 1855." A very handsome drawing of a locomotive by a prominent inventor and engineer.<br/> <br/>Theodore Krausch dates unknown was employed by what was then known as the New York and Erie Railroad at Susquehanna Depot where railway cars and locomotives were designed built and repaired. The town in northeastern Pennsylvania just below the New York border and Binghamton came into existence with the coming of the railroad. Krausch who obtained several patents during his life one for innovations in railway chair design also received a Silver Medal from the American Institute of the City of New York for a drawing of a locomotive no doubt similar to this one. During the 1850s when railway lines and companies were spreading out across the country each railroad customized its engines and cars to its specific needs. There was a large degree of standardization and this Krausch drawing is a perfect rendition of the 4-4-0 wheel arrangement and overall design that was used almost universally in 19th century America. unknown books

"Italian pedagogical methods were widely disseminated and emulated in the 18th century and with the founding of the Paris Conservatoire in 1795 training in solfeggio was instituted as a basis of the curriculum . The first important collection was Solfeges d'Italie Avec la Basse chiffree. . which appeared in 1772 and saw three later editions as well as several pirated ones . <br/><br/>The French solfège tradition has served as a point of departure for numerous methods of teaching basic musical skills developed in other countries among them the methods of Wedge Hindemith Kodály and Villa-Lobos. Since World War II many instruction manuals have been printed in a variety of languages all of them more or less indebted to solfeggio and solfège ." Owen Jander in Grove Music Online.
