The prospectus proper on twenty-eight lines of small print heads the recto of the second leaf and begins: 'The recognition that Dancing properly taught by teachers with a scientific understanding of movement can play a very important part in the education of the growing child is opening a new field for the dancing profession. The London College of Educational Dance Training has been founded to meet this requirement.' The 'Fees: payable in advance' are given at the foot of the page.

Second a typed letter on the College letterhead 20 March 1945.

She hopes that Pfister can join in September: 'I should think the war will be over by then so maybe they would release you'. Third a typed letter on the College letterhead 4 May 1945. She thanks her for writing about her live in Italy and hopes that her 'holiday at Warminster will help to complete the cure'. She also deserves 'a little time of gaiety' at the London theatres. 'It will be very nice indeed if you can do part time work in London and part time at the Cone School to get back into practise.' She suggests a meeting to discuss matters. 'Yes we were in Bognor for Sheila's show. It was very bad luck that she tore a muscle in her leg just five minutes before the curtain went up!' The 'war news' is 'grand': 'It makes one feel as though the news for which we have longed for so many years is a trifle unreal. It seems wrong to celebrate too much when men are still having to fight in the East.' Four typed letter from Rawdon Hall 18 June 1945. She is pleased to learn from Cone that Pfister is joining the College in the autumn. The term begins on 28 September and it is 'more than probable that we shall not be at Maidenhead as we hope to find a building nearer to London … We are very busy with rehearsals and work for our Advisory Board demonstration and therefore I am never in London where Pfister will be working in September at 'the Cone School' in an evening and seldom during the daytime just now.' The letter ends on the subject of attendance at 'the Imperial Congress'.

The ballet gave her scope for some wonderful and proved immensely popular. It was a novel idea artistically carried out and illustrated the history and power of the Fourth Estate. A number of charming coryphees were ingeniously attired as representatives of the various newspapers boys' costumes indicating the morning and girls' the evening journals. The venerable Times was typified by a man in the guise of Father Time with hour-glass and other symbols of his ancient office and accompanied by a retinue. Mme.

[BRITISH ARMOUR - TOWER OF LONDON - DUTCH MANUSCRIPT].Biblio.com

Beschrijving van de paarden wapenzaal in de Tower te London.

1825ABC_47921The Netherlands 1825. Ca. 21.5 x 17 cm. Contemporary green paper over brown cloth with a calligraphed title on the front in a floral frame and a drawing of a knight on horseback on the back board within the same floral frame blue speckled edges. With 12 large colourful ink drawings of knights on horseback depicting various British kings and nobles and a smaller ink drawing of knights in battle on the title-page. 1 1 blank 105 pp. Remarkable manuscript with beautiful illustrations and descriptions of the displays in the Royal Armouries in the Tower of London. As the armoury was engulfed by a large fire in 1841 the largest in the history of the Tower of London some of the depicted armour has been destroyed making the present manuscript a unique source on these objects.The work shows the armour of various British kings and nobles including that of Kings Edward I and VI Henry VI VII and VIII James II and V and military officer Horace Vere. They are all on horseback which is how the armour was displayed in the Tower of London at the time. The illustrations are beautifully hand coloured which gives a good impression of how the armour must have looked. The included text describes the objects and gives extensive background information on the kings and nobles they belonged to.The Royal Armouries in the Tower of London is one of the oldest museum exhibitions in the world. One of the earliest recorded visitors was in 1498 when entry was only by special permission. The visitors in the 16th century who wrote about their experience often called the display "disorderly" suggesting that little attention was paid to presentation at this time. This changed when the Stuarts reclaimed the throne in 1660. Two permanent public displays were set up to encourage visitors to marvel at the splendour of the British monarchy. One of the displays was called "The Line of Kings" which placed figures wearing the armour of former British kings on life-sized wooden horses. In 1825 The Line of Kings was relocated into a new building against the south side of the White Tower where it stayed until the fire of 1841. The present manuscript describes this display during this time period.The edges corners and hinges of the boards are somewhat scuffed with some loss of paper on the spine showing the brown cloth underneath. With very mild foxing on some of the leaves. Otherwise in good condition.l Cf. Nederlandsch magazijn ter verspreiding van algemeene en nuttige kundigheden 1843 p. 224. hardcover
