Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book tells the story of The Perse School in Cambridge from its humble beginnings as a small, poorly funded institution to a renowned center of learning that has shaped countless lives over several centuries. The school was the brainchild of Dr. Stephen Perse, a successful physician who had a deep concern for the welfare of his community. Perse believed that education was the key to a better life, and he was determined to provide opportunities for the underprivileged children of Cambridge. The book traces the school's history from its inception in 1615 through various challenges and triumphs. It sheds light on the school's educational philosophy and curriculum, which emphasized the classics and aimed to produce well-rounded individuals who were prepared for university study or a career in business or the professions. The book also discusses the school's relationship with the University of Cambridge and the wider community. The Perse School has played a significant role in the intellectual and cultural life of Cambridge for over four centuries, and its story offers valuable insights into the evolution of education in England. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.…

Zustand: Very Good. A special 8 page supplement celebrating the opening of the Design Centre. Advert clipped from page 3/4. Two staples in front cover. We have recently acquired the library of Harry Horlock Stringer who was a leading British potter at the old Fulham Pottery in the 1950's where he concentrated on earthenware. Later he moved to Taggs Yard in Barnes, south west London, where he built and ran his own school, welcoming pupils and making friends such as Ginger Rogers from across the world at a time when studio pottery was enjoying newfound popularity. Stringer experimented with his own glazes and firing techniques, and wrote a book on Raku, becoming a Fellow of the Craft Potters Association, editing the association's journal for a time and exhibiting widely as well as lecturing at home and abroad.

The collection is in very good condition, with a few staple and pin holes. Gray's letters are signed 'Milner Gray' and occasionally 'Milner'. All but the first two, which are on Society of Industrial Artists letterheads, are on Design Research Unit letterheads. An early letter (5 April 1949), to Kenneth Luckhurst, Secretary, Royal Society of Arts, apologises for and explains a 'difficulty' which has arisen 'over the fees we estimated for completing the necessary working drawings and supervising construction of the permanent display screens for the Society's headquarters'. The rest of the correspondence makes clear Gray's role as an active member of the Society.…

Attractively bound volume comprising four articles by Gray extracted from the journal of the RSA over a twenty year period. Inscribed by the author to his wife on the front free endpaper, "To Gnade with all my love, Milner 1959". The papers are; "The History and Development of Packaging"(26 pages with illustrations, 5 May, 1939); "The Industrial Designer and Consumer Goods" (17 pages, 8 April 1949); "The Creative Urge" (6 pages, one illustration, 25 November 1955); "Packaging Progress" (19 pages with illustrations, August 1959). Milner Gray trained initially at Goldsmith's, spent the First World War in the Royal Engineers School of Camouflage, and in 1921 established "with fellow students Charles Bassett and his brother Henry - the Bassett-Gray Group of Artists and Writers, effectively the first British multi-disciplinary design consultancy. The group's complement of freelance creators included Gray's lifelong friend Graham Sutherland and, later, Misha Black" (ODNB). In 1930 he founded the Society of Industrial Artists (SIA), which he "came to regard as his lifetime's achievement". In 1938 he was elected Royal Designer for Industry, and in 1940 chosen to head the Ministry of Information's exhibitions branch. Post-war he was a founder member of the Design Research Unit which "soon began its ground-breaking work in a field which became a dominating factor in commerce over the next four decades: corporate identity. establishing a co-ordinated visual style across the full range of items, from printed material to vehicles, by which a company presented itself to the world." Early clients included Rolex, Ilford, and British Rail. Gray was subsequently involved "branding" the Festival of Britain, the Coronation, and the Queen's Jubilee in 1977. "In his professional life Gray did much to set the standards for designers for most of the twentieth century. His own designs - which embraced, from the early 1930s, bottles, cookware, table china, furniture, and even the Ascot gold cup, as well as graphics, exhibition design, and packaging - were always immaculate, combining craftsmanship and deep respect for materials. On a personal level he was a delightful companion, with an irreverent wit, and a formidable mimic.Gray continued to 'enjoy weak health' until he died, aged ninety-seven. [in]1997. At his own wish, he was cremated. without ceremony or witnesses, apart from his wife who had been his unfailing support in life and work for sixty-three years." Octavo. Halftone illustrations to the text. Half vellum on marbled boards, title gilt longitudinally to the spine, top edge gilt, marbled endpapers. Very good.…
