Cranford Collection [DVD] [2007-2009]

Product Information

Focusing on European art since the early 80s, Cranford Collection is based in London and is shown exclusively in a private house in Regent's Park. Rather than being named after its first volume, Old Christmas , or the first designer (Randolph Caldecott illustrated the first two titles), the series derives its moniker from the fourth volume released, Cranford by Elizabeth Gaskell, which was published in 1891 and illustrated by Hugh Thomson. Jane Austen, the Brontë sisters, Louisa May Alcott… Timeless Classics offers you a superb selection of novels that revolutionised the female universe. Following the release of six additional volumes in 1892, all including the name “Cranford” in Macmillan’s advertising material, the collection was retrospectively named the Cranford Series, encompassing the earlier three volumes as well.

Beyond their visual allure, these bindings at the time were also a symbol of affordability – they were produced with a desire to make beautiful books accessible to a wider audience, ensuring that more readers could appreciate the elegance of 1890s design. Part of Penguin's beautiful hardback Clothbound Classics series, designed by the award-winning Coralie Bickford-Smith, these delectable and collectible editions are bound in high-quality colourful, tactile cloth with foil stamped into the design.The 2000s in the Cranford Collection focuses on this as yet unexplored decade, which has still to be fully defined. com, the Sell on Etsy app, and the Etsy app, as well as the electricity that powers Etsy’s global offices and employees working remotely from home in the US. Here you’ll find the answers to any doubts you might have about details of the collection and subscription terms and conditions. Turning off the personalised advertising setting won’t stop you from seeing Etsy ads, but it may make the ads you see less relevant or more repetitive.

Often mistaken for the Cranford Series, these derivative-style volumes may be of a slightly different size, but they possess a similar charm and appeal ( particularly the Dobson collections), so I have included a good many of these titles in a separate list below as they form part of the broader landscape of these delightful late 19th-century publishers bindings and mingle attractively together on a shelf.An early precursor to the Cranford style, this beautifully bound prose and verse translation of the story of the Volsungs was limited to 750 copies. All five episodes, plus the two-part 2009 Christmas special, of the BBC's lavish costume drama based on three novels by Elizabeth Gaskell. Besides collecting A-listers, the Salem collectors are open to collaborations and are recently hosting an artist residency with Camden Arts Centre, which allowed them to share time with younger artists.

From the rumblings of provincial England in Silas Marner and Cranford to a wild and dangerous journey across the Holy Lands in Ivanhoe, these classic novels of the Georgian and Victorian period are as relevant and important today as they ever have been.The exhibition, curated by Anne Pontégnie, focuses on British and German art from the mid-1980s to the present day.
