Lyrics - Pathetic & Humorous from A to Z by Edmund Dulac
More Books
A treasure for readers and book lovers of all ages, this dazzling children's alphabet is graced by the work of Edmund Dulac, a preeminent twentieth-century illustrator. Dulac provides a limerick for each letter of the alphabet, in addition to twenty-four related illustrations of people and animals in whimsical situations.
Dulac possessed an endearing gift for caricature, and his use of jewel-toned, glowing colors adds vivid life to these fantasy images. A facsimile of an extremely valuable 1906 edition that was published by Frederick Warne & Co. of London, this volume faithfully re-creates the original publication's luminous splendor.
Although this was published after the Victorian Era officially ended with the death of Queen Victoria in 1901, it retains some of the feel and sensibilities of the times.
This soft cover book measures 8-1/4 by 11 inches and boast 64 wonderful pages with wondrous illustrations.
Some entries are politically incorrect and may be offensive to some people. This is an exact facsimile of the original.

Small Reproduction Orange Blossom Bouquet in the Vintage Style
The classic floral accessory for the bride during the Victorian years of the 19th century and well into the early years of the 20th century, orange blossoms were used for hair wreaths, bridal bouquets and even as dress ornaments. Originally the adornments were made from the actual blossom - which was then dipped in wax to preserve the petals and leaves. Of course, most specimens have long since disappeared. The ones that have survived have found their way into antique markets - and at a very precious price!
Our newer blossoms have actually been molded from vintage specimens - and using modern technology, have been made to duplicate the original bouquets in texture, color and form, making them virtually indistinguishable from each other. They give the appearance of natural blossoms being dipped in was - and, at first touch, you'll suspect they are made of wax.
Whether for a bride, for every day wear or as a millinery accent, our orange blossoms are sure to evoke the warmth of an era long past.

Art Postcard - The Lost Chord
More Postcards
More Music
Arthur Sullivan (of the famed Gilbert and Sullivan) composed the music for The Lost Chord as he sat at his brother Fred's beside, during his last days. The words were written by Adelaide A. Proctor. Known for its grandeur and eloquence, The Lost Chord is often represented by the young woman playing the the pipe organ with a choir of angels accompanying her.
Seated one day at the organ, I was weary and ill at ease, And my fingers wandered idly Over the noisy keys; I know not what I was playing, Or what I was dreaming then, But I struck one chord of music, Like the sound of a great Amen, Like the sound of a great Amen.
It flooded the crimson twilight, Like the close of an angel’s psalm, And it lay on my fevered spirit, With a touch of infinite calm, It quieted pain and sorrow, Like love overcoming strife, It seemed the harmonious echo From our discordant life, It linked all the perplexed meanings Into one perfect peace, And trembled away into silence, As if it were loath to cease; I have sought but I seek it vainly, That one lost chord divine, Which came from the soul of the organ, And entered into mine.
It may be that death’s bright angel Will speak in that chord again; It may be that only in Heav’n I shall hear that great Amen. It may be that death’s bright angel Will speak in that chord again; It may be that only in Heav’n I shall hear that great Amen

The Natural History of the Flirt
The Shorter Oxford English Dictionary gives the meaning of the word flirt as 'to play at courtship.' Perhaps some will regard it as a more frivolous past-time, though George Elliot put it rather well 'every man likes to flirt with a pretty girl and every girl likes to be flirted with.'
This little 108-page book measures 10.5 by 13 cm and is loaded with delight from cover to cover. It was first published in 1848. This facsimile reproduction brings the original work to life as it was originally published! The illustrations by Gavarni, Gilbert and Henning are worth the price alone! Full of anecdote, suggestion and song, with tales from notorious flirts, this might also be considered a how-to manual for flirting - not just the history!
