Although the series remained unpublished at the time of the artist's early death in 1887, the drawings reemerged fifty years later, when they entered the collection of the Edgar Allan Poe Museum in Richmond.

He examines the social and cultural context in which these works were created, and argues that they represent a fundamental shift in human consciousness and creativity.The book offers a comprehensive overview of the major artistic movements and styles that emerged during this period, including the Paleolithic, Neolithic, and Bronze Age. Spearing also discusses the role of art in shaping human society and culture, and how it has been used to convey religious, political, and social messages throughout history.Overall, \"\"The Childhood of Art or The Ascent of Man\"\" is a fascinating and insightful exploration of the origins of human creativity and artistic expression.

In \u003ci\u003eLeonardo's Lost Princess\u003c\/i\u003e, Silverman gives a riveting first-person account of how his initial suspicions of the portrait's provenance were confirmed repeatedly by scientists and art experts. He describes the path to authentication, fraught with opposition and controversy.

In 1998, he had seen an exquisite nine-by-thirteen-inch portrait of a lovely young woman in a richly detailed costume. As much as he was captivated by its beauty, he was intrigued by the catalog annotation, which said it was \"German, early 19th century.\" He was certain that the piece was either a genuine Renaissance work or a brilliant forgery. He resolved to pay up to twice the minimum estimate for this extraordinary jewel at auction, but when the time came, he lost his nerve at $17,000. Now, nine years later, here it was again, for sale in a Manhattan gallery. It would not escape his grasp this time. Still, he had no inkling of the momentous discovery he was about to make or the great controversy that would follow.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn \"Leonardo's Lost Princess,\" Silverman tells the riveting story of how his initial suspicions of the portrait's provenance grew as one art expert after another confirmed his view that this haunting image was, indeed, created in the fifteenth century, that the artist was certainly left-handed, and that the quality of the work was extraordinarily fine. Few, least of all Silverman himself, were willing to even hint that it was the rarest of all finds, an original masterpiece by the greatest painter in history. More proof was needed, but where could it be found?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSilverman's account of the cutting-edge science used to authenticate the portrait--from radiocarbon dating to multispectral photography--is as fascinating as it is convincing. Not only were scientists able to prove that the materials dated from Leonardo da Vinci's lifetime, an analysis of photos taken of the portrait using thirteen different light spectra revealed beyond doubt that the work was made by the master himself. They also provided hints to the drawing's history over the intervening centuries.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStill, many questions remained unanswered. Who was this poised and beautiful young woman? Why had Leonardo, who was very busy at the time with multiple projects for his patron, the Duke of Milan, and others, spent valuable time making this small and modest portrait in chalk and ink? Where had it been hiding for five centuries? The answers to these questions could only be found through good, old-fashioned research and legwork, which would take investigators from Paris to Milan to, improbably, Warsaw. The answers they found are surprising, revealing, and often moving.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eComplete with vivid accounts of the art-world controversy sparked by Silverman's claim, similar controversies over the authenticity of works supposedly by Leonardo, and the very different lives of Leonardo and the lovely young woman who was his subject, \"Leonardo's Lost Princess\" is part whodunit, part revealing expose, and all-enthralling tale of an impossible dream come true.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBack Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA Princess Found\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn 1496, a beautiful princess was preparing to marry in Milan. Bianca was the daughter of Duke Ludovico Sforza and betrothed to Galeazzo Sanseverino, commander of the duke's armies. Portraits were often commissioned during the Renaissance to mark major events in a subject's life, and a court artist named Leonardo da Vinci was given the task of memorializing Bianca.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTragically, the princess died soon after her wedding. Then her portrait, the last evidence of her existence, was also lost.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt a New York City gallery in 2007, Peter Silverman saw a portrait catalogued as \"German, early 19th century.\" Thinking it misattributed and regretting not buying it once before, he scooped it up for a mere $19,000 and began a long quest to discover its origins.

Bianca was identified as the subject, and her clothes and hair were matched to those of her period.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMany in the art community still would not believe, but Silverman persisted and, with the help of Leonardo scholar Martin Kemp, discovered its provenance: the tribute book from which the picture had been removed.

In so doing, they set the artistic agenda of the Harlem Renaissance and gave form to some of its most compelling visions. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis innovative study examines the efforts of Harlem Renaissance artists and writers to create a hybrid expression of black identity that drew on their ancient past while participating in contemporary American culture. Caroline Goeser investigates a critical component of Harlem Renaissance print culture that until now has been largely overlooked, arguing that illustrations became the most timely and often most radical visual products of the movement. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis vibrant partnership between literary and visual talents--a trail blazed by artist Aaron Douglas and poet Langston Hughes--resulted in the image of the New Negro, one that remade the African American past in order to foster greater participation in modern American culture and commerce. Illustrations by Douglas, James Wells, Gwendolyn Bennett, and others appeared on covers of books about black American life and in journals such as Opportunity and The Crisis. Goeser considers the strategies that these artists developed to circumvent stereotypes and shows how their work was received within the movement and in mainstream America. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eConnecting visual imagery with literary text and commercial enterprise, these illustrations participated in the modern economy in ways that painting and sculpture could not. Goeser reveals how Harlem Renaissance illustrators depicted the wide-ranging and sometimes conflicting ideas about black identity held within the community: African roots and Egyptian heritage, racial uplift and gay pride. She shows how some artists revisited the Judeo-Christian tradition by portraying a black Adam and Jesus, and examines the interdependent relationships between race and sexuality in the work of artists Richard Bruce Nugent and Charles Cullen, the former black, the latter white. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eGoeser clearly shows that, contrary to common belief, the visual image of the New Negro was created by African Americans, for African Americans. Her work assigns a central role to black artists as cultural innovators intimately involved with the construction of identity and new expressive paradigms and is a new touchstone in understanding both the emergence of black identity and American culture between the world wars.\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 376\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.15 x 9.48 x 6.34 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e May 25, 2011\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48791769186558,"sku":"9780700614660","price":89.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0826\/8716\/4670\/files\/g8Q-zn8Yid9780700614660_11283503-52c7-46f8-9253-0d839c5b90f4.webp?v=1787868586"},{"product_id":"a-memoir-of-thomas-bewick-paperback-2","title":"A Memoir of Thomas Bewick - Paperback","description":"\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cp style=\"text-align: right;\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/reportcopyrightinfringement.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eReport copyright infringement\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cp\u003eby \u003cb\u003eThomas Bewick\u003c\/b\u003e (Author)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA Memoir of Thomas Bewick, has been regarded as significant work throughout human history, and in order to ensure that this work is never lost, we have taken steps to ensure its preservation by republishing this book in a contemporary format for both current and future generations.

Classicists, however, have traditionally subordinated the study of colour to form. By drawing together evidence from contemporary philosophers, elegists, epic writers, historians and satirists, Mark Bradley reinstates colour as an essential informative unit for the classification and evaluation of the Roman world. He also demonstrates that the questions of what colour was and how it functioned - as well as how it could be misused and misunderstood - were topics of intellectual debate in early imperial Rome. Suggesting strategies for interpreting Roman expressions of colour in Latin texts, Dr Bradley offers alternative approaches to understanding the relationship between perception and knowledge in Roman elite thought. In doing so, he highlights the fundamental role that colour performed in the realms of communication and information, and its intellectual contribution to contemporary discussions of society, politics and morality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 282\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.64 x 8.5 x 5.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e June 09, 2011\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48791790911742,"sku":"9780521291224","price":83.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0826\/8716\/4670\/files\/gr8ukVAOMi9780521291224_8a0b8759-388d-44c1-9e97-d44777860d6a.webp?v=1787868600"},{"product_id":"thoughts-on-art-and-life-paperback-2","title":"Thoughts on Art and Life - Paperback","description":"\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cp style=\"text-align: right;\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/reportcopyrightinfringement.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eReport copyright infringement\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cp\u003eby \u003cb\u003eHollybook\u003c\/b\u003e (Editor), \u003cb\u003eMaurice Baring\u003c\/b\u003e (Translator), \u003cb\u003eLeonardo Da Vinci\u003c\/b\u003e (Author)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"Of this volume translated by Maurice Baring and edited by Lewis Einstein with types \u0026amp; decorations by Herbert P.

MILLER POPE, born in South Carolina, embarked on a lifelong career as an illustrator in the Marine Corps during World War II on the staff of the legendary Leatherneck magazine. During his stint on the magazine staff he took a course in advertising through the Marine Corps Institute.He also studied at the Corcoran School of Art and later, the Art Students League in New York City. His illustrations have appeared in countless publications, on novel covers, in magazines such as Glamour, Saga, Blue Book, and Reader's Digest, and in many books.He was a partner in a New York Advertising agency in the nineteen fifties and was elected to the Society of Illustrators as its youngest member in 1957. In 1975, Pope and his wife, Helen, moved to the North Carolina coast and became leaders in establishing beach and golf resort communities. He became a major force in publicizing the area and is still active in the community today.

She shared trenchant observations, her sharp sense of humor, and over ninety years of experience, much of it in the company of men who changed the world: Picasso, Matisse, and her second husband, the famous virologist Jonas Salk, developer of the polio vaccine. Never one to stand in the shadows, Gilot engaged with ground-breaking artists and scientists on her own terms, creating from these vital interactions an artistic style all her own, translated into an enormous collection of paintings and drawings held by private collectors and public museums around the world. In her early nineties, she generously shared her hospitality and wisdom with Herwig, who started out as an interviewer but found himself drawn into the role of pupil as Gilot, whom he called \"a philosopher of joy,\" shared with him different ways of seeing the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMalte Herwig is a German-born writer, journalist, and literary critic.

He was the masterful painter who gave us the \u003ci\u003eMona Lisa\u003c\/i\u003e and the \u003ci\u003eLast Supper\u003c\/i\u003e, and the visionary inventor who anticipated airplanes, hot-air balloons, and other technological marvels. But what was the connection between Leonardo the painter and Leonardo the scientist? And what can a mysterious, long-lost book teach us about how Leonardo truly conceived his art? \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eShortly after Leonardo's death, his peers and rivals created the myth of the two Leonardos: there was Leonardo the artist and then, later in life, Leonardo the scientist. In this pathbreaking biographical interpretation, the art historian Francesca Fiorani tells a very different and much more interesting story. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eTaking a fresh look at Leonardo's celebrated but challenging notebooks as well as other, often obscure sources, Fiorani shows that Leonardo became fluent in science when he was still a young man. As an apprentice in a Florence studio, he was especially interested in the science of optics, which tells us how we see what we see. For the rest of his life he remained, according to a close observer, obsessed with optics, believing that his art would grow only as his knowledge of light and shadow deepened. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eGiven Leonardo's scientific bent, one might think this meant that he wanted to turn himself into a human camera. In fact, he aspired to use science to capture--as no artist before him had ever done--the interior lives of his subjects, to paint the human soul in its smallest, tenderest motions and vicissitudes. And then he hoped to take one further step: to gather his scientific knowledge together in a book that would be even more important than his paintings. His \u003ci\u003eTreatise on Painting\u003c\/i\u003e would be disfigured, ignored, and lost in subsequent centuries; now, Fiorani traces this singular work's byzantine path through history and reconstructs the wisdom Leonardo hoped it would impart. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eRanging from the teeming streets of Florence to the most delicate brushstrokes on the surface of the \u003ci\u003eMona Lisa\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Shadow Drawing \u003c\/i\u003evividly reconstructs Leonardo's life while teaching us to look anew at his greatest paintings. The result is both a stirring biography and a bold reconsideration of how the Renaissance understood science and art--and of what was lost when the two were sundered.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eFrancesca Fiorani\u003c\/b\u003e is a professor of art history at the University of Virginia, where she has served as associate dean for the arts and humanities and chair of the art department.

But it's only since the introduction of the Barbie doll in 1959 that pink has become decisively feminized. Indeed, in the eighteenth century, pink was frequently masculine, and the color has signified many things beyond gender over the course of its long history--from the prim to the vulgar, and from the romantic to the eccentric. In this richly illustrated book, Michel Pastoureau, a celebrated authority on the history of colors, presents a fascinating visual, social, and cultural history of pink in the West, from antiquity to today. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003ePink pigments first appear in ancient Macedonian paintings, but it was not until the eighteenth century that vivid, saturated pinks were developed for dyeing and painting. At the same time, a popular new flower--the pink rose--finally gave the color a standard name, and pink, assuming a place in everyday life, began to acquire its own symbolism, distinct from that of red, yellow, or white. Bringing the story up to the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, \u003ci\u003ePink\u003c\/i\u003e describes how the color, both adored and detested, became associated with many other things, from softness and pleasure to nudity and sex. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIllustrated throughout with a wealth of captivating images, \u003ci\u003ePink \u003c\/i\u003eis an entertaining and enlightening account of the evolving role and significance of the color in art, fashion, literature, religion, science, and everyday life across the millennia.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMichel Pastoureau\u003c\/b\u003e is a historian and emeritus director of studies at the École Pratique des Hautes Études de la Sorbonne in Paris.

His greatest contribution to the history of art is his special treatment of expression and, in its more mature form, self-expression. The image of the Temple of Painting embodies all his essential thoughts about art. Housing statues of Michelangelo, Gaudenzio Ferrari, Polidoro da Caravaggio, Leonardo, Raphael, Mantegna, and Titian--paradigms of style and, for Lomazzo, the seven greatest painters in the world--it guides the novice in the discovery of a unique style that matches his own temperament. \u003ci\u003eIdea of the Temple of Painting\u003c\/i\u003e (1590), written as a pithy introduction to the encyclopedic \u003ci\u003eTrattato dell'arte della pittura\u003c\/i\u003e, demonstrates why art is all about expressing an individual style, or \u003ci\u003emaniera\u003c\/i\u003e.

In particular, the garden frescoes uncovered in 1974 at the Augustinian monastery of Malinalco document the collision of the European search for Utopia with the reality of colonial life.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn this study, Jeanette F. Peterson examines the murals within the dual heritage of pre-Hispanic and European muralism to reveal how the wall paintings promoted the political and religious agendas of the Spanish conquerors while preserving a record of pre-Columbian rituals and imagery. She finds that the utopian themes portrayed at Malinalco and other Augustinian monasteries were integrated into a religious and political ideology that, in part, camouflaged the harsh realities of colonial policies toward the native population.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThat the murals were ultimately whitewashed at the end of the sixteenth century suggests that the \"spiritual conquest\" failed. Peterson argues that the incorporation of native features ultimately worked to undermine the orthodoxy of the Christian message. She places the murals' imagery within the pre-Columbian tlacuilo (scribe-painter) tradition, traces a \"Sahagún connection\" between the Malinalco muralists and the native artists working at the Franciscan school of Tlatelolco, and explores mural painting as an artistic response to acculturation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book is beautifully illustrated with 137 black-and-white figures, including photographs and line drawings.

This book serves as a quick but comprehensive introduction to the Nordic art of the pre-Viking Age era when the Nordic mythology and legends we know so well emerged. As such, it serves as a prequel to The Anatomy of Viking Art, but it's much more than the origin story of Viking art. Germanic animal ornament is immensely intriguing, with its elegant interlacing patterns and ribbon animals woven into some of the most extraordinary expressions of art. However, as fascinating as it may be, it may be challenging to understand precisely how these patterns are constructed and even more difficult to recreate.\u003c\/p\u003eThis guide breaks down the styles of Germanic Iron Age art in an easy-to-understand manner to help you quickly grasp its anatomy. Clear illustrations and graphics straightforwardly present the characteristics of each style, so you'll be able to easily distinguish each from the others and understand how one style developed into the next.

Soon after Canada and the United States followed. The United States built their embassy in the form of a southern mansion and started a trend for overseas missions to reflect the architectural style of their home country. This architectural pattern is fairly unique to Australia and a great tourist attraction. The buildings of these embassies and high commissions are some of the treasures of Canberra. From small beginnings the diplomatic corps has grown, and now there are nearly 90 international missions established in the capital.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAustralia is a multicultural nation and it is appropriate that so many countries are represented in our nations capital.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book examines 36 embassies and high commissions, each accompanied by illustrations.

Sarah Remond Parker, invited to Britain to lecture on abolitionism, and then qualifying as one of the first women doctors.

An insightful investigation of seven extraordinary lives, Fugitive Families is a fascinating portrait of social attitudes in the 1850-60s, a history that underpins modern British society.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 305\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.64 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e October 30, 2025\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48792142774526,"sku":"9780718898144","price":46.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0826\/8716\/4670\/files\/6JjuK2pNoS9780718898144_178ca36c-0323-4b7f-a0da-69b191c73e02.webp?v=1787871805"},{"product_id":"civil-war-sketch-book-vol-4-illustrations-by-alfred-rudolph-waud-paperback-2","title":"Civil War sketch book - Vol. 4: Illustrations by Alfred Rudolph Waud - Paperback","description":"\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cp style=\"text-align: right;\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/reportcopyrightinfringement.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eReport copyright infringement\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cp\u003eby \u003cb\u003eLuca Stefano Cristini\u003c\/b\u003e (Author)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlfred Waud was a British-born American illustrator whose lively and detailed sketches of scenes from the Civil War captured the war's dramatic intensity and furnished him with a reputation as one of the preeminent war-artist of his era.

The latter, the focus of this volume, increasingly diverged from the world view embodied in Hopi art, ceremony, and philosophy to become a new form of storytelling. While it is unlikely that anyone familiar with Hopi carvings (dolls) would look to Honyoutis artworks expecting to unearth political, social, or environmental truths and circumstances, these are, nonetheless, the messages he determined to convey. In Brian Honyouti: Hopi Carver, art historian Zena Pearlstone explores the ideas Honyouti sought to communicate through his work. She examines as well how he transmitted them by turning a traditional art form, the carved representations of katsinas, into a modernistic critique of local Native American and global concerns. It is as a result of these universal implications that Honyoutis art will endure. Because Honyoutis attachment to Hopi culture was so profound, he veiled his critical reflections with humor and imagination to avoid exposing too much to public scrutiny. Feeling that there should be a public record of his intentions, however, he set aside many of his self-imposed limitations when he agreed to collaborate with Pearlstone. It was his hope that having made his intentions public for the first time, his work would be seen as a window into Hopi life as well as a reflection of contemporary mainstream American society.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eZena Pearlstone is Emerita Professor of Art History at California State University, Fullerton.

Carnegie led the expansion of the American steel industry in the late 19th century and is often identified as one of the richest people (and richest Americans). He became a leading philanthropist in the United States and in the British Empire. During the last 18 years of his life, he gave away about $350 million to charities, foundations, and universities-almost 90 percent of his fortune. His 1889 article proclaiming \"The Gospel of Wealth\" called on the rich to use their wealth to improve society, and stimulated a wave of philanthropy. Carnegie was born in Dunfermline, Scotland, and emigrated to the United States with his parents in 1848. Carnegie started work as a telegrapher, and by the 1860s had investments in railroads, railroad sleeping cars, bridges, and oil derricks. He accumulated further wealth as a bond salesman, raising money for American enterprise in Europe. He built Pittsburgh's Carnegie Steel Company, which he sold to J. P.

Carnegie devoted the remainder of his life to large-scale philanthropy, with special emphasis on local libraries, world peace, education, and scientific research. With the fortune he made from business, he built Carnegie Hall in New York, NY, and the Peace Palace and founded the Carnegie Corporation of New York, Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, Carnegie Institution for Science, Carnegie Trust for the Universities of Scotland, Carnegie Hero Fund, Carnegie Mellon University, and the Carnegie Museums of Pittsburgh, among others.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 138\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.3 x 9.02 x 5.98 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e July 27, 2018\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48795755380990,"sku":"9781724395993","price":8.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0826\/8716\/4670\/files\/GmNythEdS9781724395993_6fa167ae-a33e-4f22-99b4-667729b68d35.webp?v=1787922498"},{"product_id":"masks-of-anarchy-the-history-of-a-radical-poem-from-percy-shelley-to-the-triangle-factory-fire-paperback-2","title":"Masks Of Anarchy: The History Of A Radical Poem, From Percy Shelley To The Triangle Factory Fire - Paperback","description":"\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cp style=\"text-align: right;\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/reportcopyrightinfringement.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eReport copyright infringement\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cp\u003eby \u003cb\u003eMichael Demson\u003c\/b\u003e (Author), \u003cb\u003eSummer McClinton\u003c\/b\u003e (Illustrator)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eMasks of Anarchy\u003c\/i\u003e tells the extraordinary story of Percy Shelley's poem \"The Masque\u003cbr\u003e of Anarchy,\" from its conception in Italy and suppression in England to the moment it became a\u003cbr\u003e catalyst for protest among New York City workers a century later. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Shelley penned the poem in 1819, after hearing of the Peterloo Massacre, where British cavalry\u003cbr\u003e charged peaceful political demonstrators near Manchester.
