Title: Our Peaceable Kingdom (FIRST EDITION)(OUT OF PRINT EDITION)
Author: John Drysdale
ISBN: 0-312-26588-3
Publisher: St.Martin's Press, New York
Type: Hardcover
Condition: Used-Excellent
Price: $25.00 Shipping: $5.50
Description: John Drysdale's photographs are exciting, tender,
hilarious, often exhilarating- but for more than the obvious
reasons. Certainly it's not every day that one sees a lion that's
befriended a Boston terrier. Maybe elephants don't usually go
fishing, and parrots generally don't tend to lounge around in beach
chairs, next to their human companions. But in the "peaceable
kingdom" of John Drysdale, surprisingly unique alliances flourish.
His photographs are whimsical and charming, but also carry a very
important, necessary truth - the essential bonds of friendship
transcend appearances, expectations, and traditions. Cats can love
mice, bulldogs can rear squirrels, and foxes can protect chicks.With
a refreshingly honest eye, Drysdale has captured the many ways in
which the creatures that inhabit the earth bring one another comfort
and happiness. Never mind that a burro and a boy are curled up on
the sofa, or that a chimpanzee is sunbathing with his human family
by the pool. Friendship is where you find it. The familiarity and
love expressed in Drysdale's work is heartfelt and very real - as
the endnotes explain, the exotic animals that are his subjects were
often orphaned as babies, and reared along with the humans and other
animals in the photographs.Since his earliest photographs of
children frolicking on the cobblestoned streets of London,
Drysdale's wonderfully illustrious career has spanned close to fifty
years. And in Our Peaceable Kingdom, for the first time, 100 of his
most memorable images are collected in one beautiful volume,
destined to become a favorite on the shelves of children, adults,
animal lovers, and anyone who appreciates a good friend. --This text

Description: The Gothic period was a uniquely exciting period in
European art history. It originated in Ile-de-France around the mid
12century , quickly fanning out through Europe and extended as far
as Scandanavia, Spain, and The Levant. It was not eclipsed until the
16th century by the Renaissance. Incredibly majectic cathedrals are,
if you will, the cornerstone of Gothic Art but would have been
unable to flourish had it not been for the advent of centralized and
orderly systems of centralized government. Religious themes
dominated the art of the period, though one will find selected
examples of secular works. Dr. Hofstatter catches the spirit of the
Gothic or Late Middle Ages in the way he has presented the art of
the period in this book. This volume would be a wonderful asset for
those who have an interest in the period or who are studying art,
architecture, design and a must have for students.

inch was torn away. The binding itself is intact. Most pictures are

famous paintings and some sites around Salzburg Discussions covered
in the 118 pages are designed to be read quickly so it is not an in

appetite to encourage the reader to pursue further information to
better understand this complex man who gave the world so many
beautiful compositions. This would make a wonderful gift for the
