On wensday sic preceding her death the writer of these lines was called upon to visit her and it proved to him both a profitable and pleasing visit". After this the letter is primarily focused on the More's condition and her acceptance of death "I found her in a state of uncommon resignation to the will of God patiently waiting the hour of her departure. I want the the sic will of the lord to be done whether I live or die". Heathcote writes that More asked him to preach at her funeral and for two hymns to be recited "Come humble sinner in whose breast a thousand thoughts resolve" and "When thou my righteous Jude shall come". Heathcote documents More's interactions with her family and friends before commending her on her devoutness to God. He writes finally that he is happy to have gotten to see her and finishes with "Let me die the death of the righteous that my latter end may be like his".<br /> <br /> Reverend Charles John Heathcote was born in Middlesex England in 1796 and followed in his father's footsteps by becoming a reverend.

Catalogo ragionato con schede delle fotografie e degli album di Alessia Borellini. Un testo di Adriana Mazza "I grandi fotografi della Scuola di Yokohama". Oltre 300 illustrazioni a colori. 4to cm 295x27. pp. 320. Ottimo Fine. Prima edizione First Edition. <em>Nella seconda metà dell'Ottocento ha luogo in Giappone una singolare fusione fra la tecnica fotografica occidentale e la tradizionale capacità artigianale locale: le stampe all'albumina color seppia sono colorate a mano a volte anche con pennelli dotati di un solo pelo e raccolte all'interno di album impreziositi da coperte di legno laccato e intarsiato d'oro avorio e madreperla.A realizzarle sono fotografi europei e giapponesi che rispondono al bisogno dei visitatori occidentali di portare con sè un ricordo del viaggio in un paese straordinario che la modernizzazione sta velocemente trasformando da mondo medievale a nazione industriale. Nelle fotografie spesso d'inattesa bellezza dominano la ricerca delle geometrie la declinazione ideografica dello spazio e un diffuso senso della nostalgia che rimanda all'ukiyo-e e ricorda i dolci ritratti di Utamaro e le ardite prospettive di Hokusai. Il libro è frutto di un lavoro di ricerca antropologica e storico-artistica durato tre anni condotto dai curatori e dall'equipe del <strong>Museo delle Culture di Lugano</strong> sulla più grande collezione del genere esistente al mondo.</em> Giunti, hardcover
