Covering the 100 years that Winchester and its predecessor companies, Volcanic Repeating Arms Co., and New Haven Arms Co., produced cartridges in New Haven, this is the first detailed study ever done on cartridge boxes from the era of the modem gun. Coverage includes all the calibers cataloged for every rifle model from 1856 to 1956. Drawing on never before seen company records and correspondence, as well as interviews with oldtime employees, the authors have unearthed a wealth of new and significant information on this under-researched, fast growing aspect of gun-related collectibles. With over 1,400 pictures, all in full color, this book also includes a Pricing Guide and a Rarity Guide. It is unlikely that the incredible number of varieties of Winchester cartridge boxes pictured will ever again be assembled for presentation to the collecting public. Whether you want to date your collectible box or determine which box would be appropriate as a contemporary display piece with your Winchester rifle, this is the book to own.

Humble Beginnings - An Expression of my Journey through Paintings and Poems (Paperback): Timothy L. Giles Humble Beginnings - An Expression of my Journey through Paintings and Poems (Paperback)
Timothy L. Giles; Edited by Sterling T. Giles; Timothy L. Giles
R393 Discovery Miles 3 930 Out of stock

This is a book of original artwork created by the author, Timothy L. Giles. Upon review of each subject matter, Mr. Giles hopes that the reader experience an influx of emotion because they can relate; whether the piece of the father kissing his son or the African mother preparing food for her family. He hopes that everyone comes with the same conclusion that the world is a small village and we have more in common than our differences. Mr. Giles also authored the poems that are included with each piece of artwork. The poems express the emotions he felt while painting. His spirit of painting is massaged and inspired by family, history, struggles, and the journey of so many strong individuals. One of his favorite pieces is of the old woman with the walking cane entitled "The Elder." Mr. Giles states he could feel her strength, wisdom and grace each time he sat down to apply paint to paper. He wants you to also feel this same sort of emotion when viewing his work. Mr. Giles' objective is to tell the human story through his art so that everyone can relate to it. He encourages the viewer to appreciate the technical element of his work, but even more, the emotion felt behind it. Mr. Giles believes the world sees him as an artist, but he sees himself also as a story teller Currently at the "young age" of 49; born in rural Suffolk, Virginia and having seen over 100 countries, Mr. Giles states he is humbled and fortunate to be able to place his experiences on canvas for the world to see. His favorite phrase and description of himself is "I'm just a country boy" who prefers the simplicities of life. God has truly blessed him with a great gift that he now wants to share with the world.

New Methods and Theories for Analyzing Mississippian Imagery (Hardcover): Bretton T. Giles, Shawn P. Lambert New Methods and Theories for Analyzing Mississippian Imagery (Hardcover)
Bretton T. Giles, Shawn P. Lambert
R2,587 Discovery Miles 25 870 Out of stock

In this volume, contributors show how stylistic and iconographic analyses of Mississippian imagery provide new perspectives on the beliefs, narratives, public ceremonies, ritual regimes, and expressions of power in the communities that created the artwork. Exploring various methodological and theoretical approaches to pre-Columbian visual culture, these essays reconstruct dynamic accounts of Native American history across the U.S. Southeast. These case studies offer innovative examples of how to use style to identify and compare artifacts, how symbols can be interpreted in the absence of writing, and how to situate and historicize Mississippian imagery. They examine designs carved into shell, copper, stone, and wood or incised into ceramic vessels, from spider iconography to owl effigies and depictions of the cosmos. They discuss how these symbols intersect with memory, myths, social hierarchies, religious traditions, and other spheres of Native American life in the past and present. The tools modeled in this volume will open new horizons for learning about the culture and worldviews of past peoples.
