His remarkable ceramic achievements and accomplishments have been recognized and held in high esteem continuously by both aficionados and technical specialists alike since the year 1790 when as a young craftsman at the renowned Derby China Factory he was suddenly called upon to assume the role of head flower painter in completing an important order for the matching of some valuable early Chelsea plates with profuse botanical plant decoration. <br /> <br /> This copy is signed by W. H. John on the front flyleaf. It is also inscribed by Sir Leslie Joseph to the Duchess of Bedford Nicole Russell: "Her Grace the Duchess of Bedford from Leslie Joseph." Nicole Russell 1920-2012 was one of the first female television producers in France working on projects which included "The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes."

Title translates as "Resistance in Wilmersdorf a neighborhood in Berlin. A Series on the Resistance in Berlin from 1933-1945. Part 7.â€<br> Includes bibliographical references pages 174-182 and indexes.<br> ISBN: 3926082038; 9783926082039 <br> <br> “In her 192-page book “Resistance in Wilmersdorf".Felicitas Bothe-von-Richthofen documents the many acts people were able to undertake against a criminal social system. The chapter 'Unsung Heroes' recounts the stories of Berliners who hid refugees: '.and the many who came under the code name 'Black' who stayed with me for one or more nights or received other assistance because as undocumented immigrants they had no ration cards. They all needed clothing. Sometimes they came simply to wash the clothes they were wearing and to wash themselves.' Ms. Blochwitz known by the code name 'Black' helped many refugees. But she was not alone; in Berlin approximately 1400 people who found shelter with private individuals survived the Nazi terror.<br> In Wilmersdorf the artists' colony at Laubenheimer Platz today: Ludwig-Barnay-Platz was considered a place of politically conscious confrontation with fascism. The 'Professional Association of German Stage Performers' and the 'Professional Association of German Writers' built three apartment blocks for their members in the late 1920s. By the spring of 1933 over 300 artists and left-wing intellectuals lived there including Ernst Bloch and Johannes R. Becher . Nazi jargon for this residential area was the 'Red Block.' To protect themselves from SA members the artists organized a self-defense force. Solidarity within the artists' colony soon came to an end after January 30 1933 and many residents fled into exile.<br> Flight is certainly not the most extreme form of protest. Hildegard Henschel the wife of the last chairman of the Jewish community in Berlin during the Nazi era observed the deportation of the first Jews from the Grunewald S-Bahn and freight station in October 1941: 'SS officers some equipped with riding whips supervised the loading of the cars. The victims’ composure was admirable; everyone knew that resistance was impossible the only possible form of defiance was suicide. But if suicide failed it later led to accelerated evacuation.’†Translated from the German.

1852183532Sheffield: 1852. No Vote No Tax A Victorian silver cake basket seized in lieu of taxes. Turquand belonged to the Tax Resistance League TRL and in May 1912 refused to pay her house duty as a protest against women's disenfranchisement. In due course this family heirloom was confiscated by a bailiff. Turquand reclaimed it at auction after giving a speech on the urgency of women's suffrage. Lizzie Emma Turquand 1857-1943 was a member of multiple women's suffrage organizations in addition to the TRL and worked as a secretary and a teacher. She sent a letter to the Income Tax Offices explaining her refusal to pay her taxes which concluded "to force women out of the their earnings to pay salaries to Cabinet Ministers and M.P.'s to legislate for men who through the ballot box command attention and consideration is to me such gross injustice that I offer no apology for my action". The ensuing seizure of the basket was "formal but friendly" and the bailiff acted with "forbearance and politeness" Norwood News p. 5. The TRL seized the opportunity of the auction to promote their cause and on 14 May arrived at the auction house in large numbers bearing banners and placards. Although their presence in the auction room was unexpected the auctioneers dealers and other attendants treated them with good humour. The auctioneer permitted Turquand to give a speech on her decision to resist taxation; her remarks were met with cheers and a chorus of "For she's a jolly good fellow". The usual attendees declined to bid for the basket so that it could be purchased by a fellow member of the TRL. Turquand thanked the auctioneer for his kind manner and commented that similar sales all over the country were being met with the same "courteous treatment and sympathy" Norwood News p. 5. Turquand was reunited with the basket following the auction and continued to resist taxation which resulted in a similar confiscation and demonstration the following year. Items which so vividly represent the efforts of the Tax Resistance League to publicise the mantra "No Vote No Tax" are unusual in both commerce and institutions. The London Museum holds a comparable example: a gold bracelet seized in lieu of tax from the suffragette Edith How-Martyn. Provenance: from the collection of the suffrage historian Elizabeth Crawford. Sterling silver bowl with handle 253 x 95 mm by Henry Wilkinson elaborately fluted and embellished in ornate floral design later engravings in the centre "Sold for King's Taxes 1912 Woman Suffrage" and "L. E. Turquand 1913". A few spots of scraping and discolouration residue of polish in grooves of floral design overall bright and clean barely tarnished: in very good condition.
