[JHRB News] Our New Books on Decorative & Fine Arts Catalog

[Joslin Hall Rare books]

The Book Elves have always been a little more “literal” than is good for
them, but they usually (well, sometimes) manage to get to the edge of the
cliff without falling over, so I didn’t think too much of it when they
said they were going to build an historical snow scene in the front yard.
I didn’t even give it much thought when they announced the theme would be
‘The Charge of the Light Brigade’.

So I suppose it’s all my fault, really.

I prefer to think of what happened as a case of “over-exuberance” (though
the District Attorney insisted on calling it “reckless endangerment”).
After all, they only “borrowed” those two howitzers from the local
National Guard Armory, and the ensuing re-creation of the final charge was
certainly dramatic, even if a few snow soldiers did end up on the
neighbor’s roof. Of course the whole affair attracted the attention of a
certain amount of press, not to mention an array of Federal and State
authorities...

But before they spent three days explaining themselves to some
not-very-amused FBI agents, the Book Elves finished our “Winter” catalog-

RECENT ACQUISITIONS ON ANTIQUES & THE ARTS- WINTER, 2008 features more
than 300 books on furniture, folk art, silver, ceramics, glass, textiles,
painting, prints, and much more, with a special section on Maritime Arts,

antiques dealer.
