The Christian cross, seen as a representation of the instrument of the crucifixion of Jesus, is the best-known symbol of Christianity. It is related to the crucifix (a cross that includes a corpus, usually a three-dimensional representation of Jesus' body) and to the more general family of cross symbols, the term cross itself being detached from the original specifically Christian meaning in modern English (as in many other western languages).
The basic forms of the cross are the Latin cross with unequal arms (✝) and the Greek cross (✚) with equal arms, besides numerous variants, partly with confessional significance, such as the tau cross...

Eileen Gray: Objects and Furniture Design (Book)
Located in North Yorkshire, GB
by Sandra Dachs, Patricia De Muga & Laura Garcia Hintzo
Focuses on Eileen Gray, a breakaway designer in a world dominated by male-centric style schools
Besides an introductory essay, each title in the By Architects series is compiled by key modern architects through sketches, drawings, photos of the original productions, and ambient shootings
A design-orientated book for a design-orientated series, Eileen Gray boasts an innovative layout and a special binding
Neglected for most of her career, Eileen Gray (1878-1976) is now regarded as one of the most important furniture designers and architects of the early twentieth century and the most influential woman in those fields. Her work inspired both modernism and Art Deco.
Eileen Gray was to stand alone throughout her career, first as a lacquer artist, then a furniture designer, and finally as an architect. At a time when other leading designers were almost all male and mostly members of one movement or another - whether a loose grouping like De Stijl in the Netherlands, or a formal one such as the Congrès Internationaux d'Architecture Moderne - Gray remained staunchly independent.
Her design style was as distinctive as her way of working. Gray developed an opulent, luxuriant take on the geometric forms and industrially produced materials used by the International Style designers, such as Le Corbusier, Charlotte Perriand and Mies van der Rohe, who shared much of her ideology. Her voluptuous leather and tubular steel Bibendum Chair and clinically chic E-1027 glass and tubular steel table...

Antique Map of North and South America by Pierre Antoine Tardieu (1784-1869)
Located in Langweer, NL
This is an original antique map titled "Carte Générale et Politique de l'Amérique," depicting the political and geographical features of North and South America. This map, created by Pierre Antoine Tardieu, illustrates the continent's boundaries, major regions, and significant features as understood in the early 19th century.
Map Details:
- **Title**: Carte Générale et Politique de l'Amérique
- **Creator**: Pierre Antoine Tardieu (1784-1869)
- **Publication Date**: Early 19th century
- **Dimensions**: Approximately 34.5 x 43.5 cm (13.5 x 17.25 inches)
- **Features**: The map includes detailed representations of North and South America, highlighting political boundaries, major cities, rivers, and mountain ranges. The title cartouche is located in the lower right corner, and the outlines are hand-colored to distinguish different regions and countries.
Condition Overview:
1. Paper Quality: The paper shows typical signs of aging, such as slight yellowing, but remains in good condition without major tears or damage.
2. Edges and Corners: The edges are slightly worn, with minor fraying and small tears, particularly near the center fold. These imperfections do not significantly impact the overall readability or aesthetic value.
3. Center Fold: A center fold is present, which is common for maps of this period that were often folded for storage or publication. The fold appears intact without significant separation or damage, except for a small split at the lower end.
4. Color and Print Quality: The hand-colored outlines remain vibrant and clear, highlighting the borders of different regions. The print quality is excellent, with sharp, legible text and detailed illustrations.
5. Staining and Spots: There are a few spots and stains, particularly near the edges and along the fold. These do not obscure any critical details of the map.
Historical Context
Around the year 1800, the Americas were a region of significant political change and exploration. Here’s an overview of the region during that period:
Political Landscape
1. North America:
- United States: The United States was a young nation, having gained independence from Great Britain in 1776. The early 19th century was a period of westward expansion and the establishment of new states.
- Canada: Canada was divided into British colonies, including Upper Canada (Ontario) and Lower Canada (Quebec). The British maintained control over these territories following the American Revolution.
- Mexico: Mexico was part of the Spanish Empire, known as New Spain. It would gain independence from Spain in 1821.
2. Central and South America:
- Spanish Colonies: Much of Central and South America was under Spanish colonial rule. Significant regions included New Granada (Colombia), Peru, and the Viceroyalty of the Rio de la Plata (Argentina).
- Portuguese Brazil: Brazil was a Portuguese colony and the largest territory in South America. It would gain independence from Portugal in 1822.
- Independence Movements: The early 19th century was marked by independence movements across Latin America, led by figures such as Simón Bolívar and José de San Martín, which resulted in the creation of new nations.
3. Caribbean:
- The Caribbean islands were controlled by various European powers, including Spain, France, Great Britain, and the Netherlands. These islands were significant for their sugar plantations and as hubs of the Atlantic slave trade.
Socio-Economic Conditions
1. Trade and Commerce:
- The Americas were integral to global trade, exporting commodities such as sugar, tobacco, cotton, and coffee. The port cities of Havana, Veracruz, and Buenos Aires were crucial trade...
