Been reading Impossible Creatures by Katherine Rundell recently...

It's magical... Katherine's writing makes the world of the Archipelago sound so amazing, descriptions that paint images I've not seen since Philip Pullman introduced us to the world of the Mulefa... I'm ver much enjoying this book.

The Diamond Diadem 1820

Diamonds, pearls, silver, gold

Openwork silver frame lined with gold and set transparent with diamonds; narrow band edged with pearls, surmounted by four crosses-pattée, the front cross set with a pale yellow brilliant, and four sprays representing the national emblems of the United Kingdom. 

Incorporating the national emblems of England, Scotland and Ireland, is probably the most familiar piece of Her Majesty The Queen's jewellery. Set with 1,333 diamonds, including a four-carat pale yellow brilliant in the centre of the front cross, the diadem has been regularly worn (and slightly modified) by queens regnant and consort from Queen Adelaide onwards. This feminine association belies its origin, since it was made for George IV's use at his famously extravagant coronation in 1821. On that occasion, he wore it over a large velvet 'Spanish' hat at the ceremonies in Westminster Hall and during the walking procession to Westminster Abbey. 

The order for the diadem was placed with Rundells in 1820 and work was complete by May of that year. The design, probably by Rundells' chief designer Philip Liebart, reflects something of the discarded plan for George IV's Imperial State Crown, which was drawn up by Liebart in the same period and was to have included the national emblems in place of the traditional fleurs-de-lis. 

Together with a diamond-studded loop (which was broken up to help make Queen Victoria's Garter armlet) the bill for the diadem amounted to the large sum of £8,216. This included an £800 hire charge for the diamonds - stones were regularly hired for use at coronations up to 1837 - computed on a percentage of the value of the stones. When the coronation had to be postponed for a year on account of Queen Caroline's trial, a further hire charge was levied. Normally the stones would have been returned to Rundells after the coronation, but in this case there is no sign that the delicately worked diamond sprays and crosses, a masterpiece of the new transparent style of setting, have been disturbed. Equally, there is no evidence that the King purchased the stones outright, so it could be that the bill was met by a discreet barter of old stones from George IV's extensive collection. 

Today the diadem is worn by Her Majesty The Queen when travelling to and from the State Opening of Parliament.

[tiny-librarian]

A mantle of cloth of gold, woven in coloured threads with a curvilinear pattern of foliage, crowns, fleurs-de-lis and eagles, with coloured roses, thistles and shamrock woven over, and with gold fringing, lined in red tabby silk. The gold clasp, which closes the mantle at the chest, is cast in the form of an eagle. The Imperial Mantle, also known as the Pallium or Dalmatic Robe, was made for the coronation of George IV in 1821. The design of this example was based on earlier Mantles, which may be seen in portraits of the Tudor and Stuart monarchs, but in origin it is based on a priestly robe, and its form has changed little since medieval coronations. This link with priestly robes was a reminder of the divine nature of kingship. The sovereign is robed in the Mantle in the investiture part of the coronation ceremony, which follows the anointing with holy oil. After this the sovereign is dressed in the Supertunica and Stole, with the Mantle on top. The various ornaments (swords, ring, orb, sceptres, spurs and armills) are then presented, before the moment of crowning. The silk for George IV's Mantle was supplied by two mercers - William King and Philip Cooper, and the robe was made by the tailor John Meyer for £24. The royal goldsmiths Rundell, Bridge and Rundell created the 'elegant chased golden eagle' to form the clasp. After the coronation of George IV the Mantle became a perquisite of the Dean and Chapter of Westminster Abbey, and it was passed down to a private individual. Eventually it was returned to the Crown in the early 20th century and it was subsequently worn at the coronations of Kings George V and VI and Queen Elizabeth II.

Biblioteca Británica pide a los niños locales que escriban libros en miniatura de bloqueo | Libros

Hace doscientos años, los niños de Brontë reunieron paquetes de azúcar de papel marrón, tiras de papel tapiz y papel de escribir viejo para crear libros del tamaño de un sello postal que sus soldados Podía leer. Hoy, la Biblioteca Británica hace un llamado a los niños locales para que sigan sus pasos y escriban sus propios pequeños libros, que formarán parte de una "Biblioteca Nacional de Libros en Miniatura para el Mundo del Juguete" en línea.

Inspirado en la colección de "gemas en miniatura" de la biblioteca, que abarca desde los 600 volúmenes en miniatura de la casa de muñecas de la Reina María hasta la biblioteca para bebés en la caja de fósforos del editor John Marshall, El proyecto cuenta con el apoyo de autores e ilustradores, incluidos Axel Scheffler y Jacqueline Wilson, cada uno de los cuales ha creado su propio libro para la biblioteca.

En una serie de videos de los autores que leen sus libros en miniatura, Wilson comparte los suyos sobre un conejo llamado Radish que vive en su escritorio, mientras que Scheffler habla de una ardilla llamada Fipsy que se adapta a la vida. bloqueo El ilustrador de Gruffalo también revela que a menudo hace pequeños libros falsos mientras trabaja, mostrando una edición en miniatura de The Snail and the Whale, así como una pequeña copia de The Gruffalo que 39, se dirigió a la casa de muñecas de su hija.

Otros contribuyentes al nuevo proyecto de la Biblioteca Británica incluyen a Katherine Rundell y Philip Ardagh. El libro de este último, sobre un niño llamado Tim Little que tiene muy poco tiempo para ir a la biblioteca, incluye un formulario "Préstamos de libros mini británicos" estampado en la portada.

"Todos me dijeron que les gustaba hacer libros", dijo Anna Lobbenberg de la biblioteca.

Ella dijo que los pequeños libros creados por Brontës "proporcionan una especie de taller literario para niños, permitiéndoles experimentar diferentes géneros y estilos y así desarrollar su propio estilo de escritura. extraordinario ", mientras que" el enfoque lúdico a la escala "de los libros en miniatura de Marshall que datan de 1800" permitió a sus jóvenes lectores convertirse en maestros responsables y sabios ", haciéndose cargo explicando el mundo a sus juguetes.

"Poder sostener y manipular pequeñas versiones de objetos ordinarios es poderoso y delicioso para los niños, ayudándoles a asumir nuevas responsabilidades y personajes", dijo, y agregó que la biblioteca esperaba que el proyecto ayudaría a los lectores jóvenes a ganar confianza al interpretar a los autores, ilustradores, encuadernadores y bibliotecarios.

La biblioteca pide a los niños que compartan sus libros en miniatura caseros con su cuenta de Twitter @BL_Learning usando el hashtag #DiscoveringChildrensBooks, o envíelos por correo electrónico a learning@bl.uk. Él instruirá a un ilustrador para crear una biblioteca virtual para exhibir el trabajo.

La biblioteca es consciente de que durante el cierre "una gran proporción de niños no tiene acceso a una computadora y que muchos no tienen material artístico", también distribuirá una carpeta impresa en las bibliotecas. público, bancos de alimentos y viviendas protegidas, y archivos PDF por correo electrónico a maestros de todo el país.
