The Ewers-Tyne Collection of Worcester Porcelain at Cheekwood

Art jewelry inspired by a Met treasure. A celebration of whimsy and artistry, this handcrafted magnifier pendant nods to the exquisite foliate detailing on an imaginative Bohemian ewer (a vase-shaped pitcher) (ca. 1680) in The Met collection. A tangle of fantastical tails and scales supports a smoky rock-crystal basin fiercely protected by a dragon, whose serpentine form creates a handle. The Museum's remarkable Renaissance-style vessel is attributed to the workshop of the 17th-century artisan Ferdinand Eusebio Miseroni (Italian, active Prague, working 1656-84); however, certain elements indicate that it was reworked in the early 19th century.

This collection of the stoplists of Cavaillé-Coll organs by Jesse Eschbach is now available again! Published by Verlag Peter Ewers, this is the authoritative source of Cavaillé-Coll stoplists. "Stoplists organized in chronological order in this book retrace the history and tonal evolution of Aristide Cavaillé-Coll throughout his sixty year career as a master organbuilder. The first chapter gives detailed stoplists based on documents written at the completion of a project, while those derived from sources dating before construction (proposals) are relegated to the second chapter. For instruments completed before 1859, the fundamental source is invariably the Lapresté Collection, also the basis for the work of Fenner Douglass. Additionally, the author gives a survey of the "Tableau des sommiers" assembled by Cavaillé-Coll between 1850 and 1885. This often permits completing information missing for instruments altered during later rebuilds or when there are few original sources available." Jesse Eschbach

Winner of the 2018 John C. Ewers Book Award  Winner of the 2018 Donald Fixico Book Award Rosalyn R. LaPier demonstrates that Blackfeet history is incomplete without an understanding of the Blackfeet people’s relationship and mode of interaction with the “invisible reality” of the supernatural world. Religious beliefs provided the Blackfeet with continuity through privations and changing times. The stories they passed to new generations and outsiders reveal the fundamental philosophy of Blackfeet existence, namely, the belief that they could alter, change, or control nature to suit their needs and that they were able to do so with the assistance of supernatural allies. The Blackfeet did not believe they had to adapt to nature. They made nature adapt. Their relationship with the supernatural provided the Blackfeet with stability and made predictable the seeming unpredictability of the natural world in which they lived. In Invisible Reality LaPier presents an unconventional, creative, and innovative history that blends extensive archival research, vignettes of family stories, and traditional knowledge learned from elders along with personal reflections on her own journey learning Blackfeet stories. The result is a nuanced look at the history of the Blackfeet and their relationship with the natural world.

Hanns Heinz Ewers is a vastly ignored and misunderstood master of the horror and fantasy genre of literature. He was an associate of Guido von List, Lanz von Liebenfels, and Aleister Crowley and later a member of the NSDAP, but also a nudist, pioneer of sexology and decadent poet, film maker, playwright and cabaret performer. This volume contains most of Ewers' stories which had been previously translated and also includes two newly translated tales: "The Water-Corpse" and "From the Diary of an Orange Tree." There is also an extensive 22 page introduction that makes the reader familiar with the facts of Ewers' life and his sometimes overtly "Satanic" ideas and philosophies to an extent never before discussed in the English language.

In vino, veritas. But in the water supply of Rome, horroras Marcus Didius Falco is about to find out. Sharing an ewer of Spanish red with his old friend and new partner Petronius Longus, Falco is on the spot when a man cleaning the local fountain makes a gruesome discovery: a human hand. Small and evidently female, the hand suggests its owner met a terrifying fate. Naturally, Falco and Petro, formerly of the Vigiles, want to seize on it as their first big case. The officials of Rome, however, prefer to hush up the incident, since a population that riots at the drop of a toga might run wild if body parts are polluting their drinking water. Soon other delicate, dismembered hands are being found in Rome's two hundred miles of aqueduct. Now aided, inspired, and given critical clues by his wife, Helena, Falco & Partner are ready to buck the status quo and even butt heads with Falco's old boss, Chief Spy Anacrites, to crack the case. But O, Hades! The duo suspects a serial killer is at large, linked topublic festivals, and likely to strike again at the upcoming Roman Games. Even a detective as astute as Falco may not spot a twisted mind in a crowd of 250,000. And if Falco loses this race with time, another pretty victim will make a deadly splash...

Delight in Design is a richly illustrated volume that focuses on the remarkable ornamented silverware produced by Indian craftsmen during the period of the British Raj. Silversmiths created elegant silver tea services, bowls, wine and water ewers, beer mugs, and goblets to adorn the sideboard or mantelpiece in a British Raj home, creating European forms fulfilling European requirements. These same silversmiths then adopted a unique manner of embellishing these objects with a variety of different motifs that reflect local taste and carry a recognizably local pattern. This book carries a set of five essays that explore different facets of the production and consumption of Indian silver for the Raj. It considers the silverware in terms of its clearly distinguishable regional styles, which is prefaced by two thematic sections, one on calling card cases and the other on tea services, which demonstrate its wide prevalence. The visual presentation of the silverware does justice to it dazzling quality.

As Frank Braun travels America in support of the German cause in the Great War, he undergoes a gradual transformation into a vampire . . . In this masterpiece of dark fantasy, Ewer explores themes of war, patriotism, exile, madness, and lust. Hanns Heinz Ewers was born in Dusseldorf, Germany, November 3, 1871. His varied and stormy literary career began in 1901 with the publication of a volume of rhymed satires entitled A Book of Fables, written in collaboration with Theodor Etzel. This attracted considerable attention and led to his association with Ernst von Wolzogen in the formation of a literary vaudeville theatre. In 1901 he founded his own vaudeville organization and, with his troupe of artists, toured Germany, Switzerland, Austria, and Hungary. This enterprise, for a time successful, eventually was abandoned because of its prohibitive expense and the interference of the censor. Later he travelled widely and at the outbreak of the World War was in South America. Unable to return to Germany, he came to the United States, and upon America's entry into the war, was interned. Of his books the following have appeared in English translations: Edgar Allan Poe, an essay (1926); The Sorcerer's Apprentice (1927); The Ant People (Die Ameisen) (1927); Alraune (1929); Rider of the Night (1932). Aside from his fiction his writings include numerous volumes of plays, poems, critical essays, fairy tales, and books of travel. This edition is a reproduction of the first American edition published by The John Day Company, New York, 1934.

Illustrated English translation of Hanns Heinz Ewers’ decadent novel, Alraune, the second volume in his Frank Braun trilogy: The Sorcerer’s Apprentice, Alraune, and Vampire. Inspired by medieval beliefs in the occult properties of the mandrake root (alraune), which was thought to grow under gallows from the fallen semen of hanged men, an arrogant student, Frank Braun, persuades his vicious uncle, Jacob ten Brinken, to create a child through artificial insemination using sperm from a condemned man and a prostitute as the mother. The child, Alraune, grows into an extremely beautiful but thoroughly perverse young woman with a mysterious power to subject others and to bring riches and ruination. Alraune was first published in German in 1911. This Birchgrove Press edition is based on an English translation published by The John Day Company, New York, in 1929 that was illustrated by Mahlon Blaine.
