Die Anglo-German Fellowship (AGF) war eine im Herbst 1935 von Friedrich von der Ropp (1879–1964) gegründete britische pro-nazistische Organisation. Die deutsche Schwesterorganisation war die Deutsch-Englische Gesellschaft (nicht zu verwechseln mit dem gleichnamigen Schüleraustauschprogramm der britischen Botschaft in Berlin).

Ziele

In der Anglo-German Fellowship waren diejenigen britischen Industriellen, Bankiers und höchsten Beamten vertreten, die ein Bündnis mit dem nationalsozialistischen Deutschen Reich förderten und – inoffiziell – die führenden Vertreter des Deutschen Reiches zu einem Krieg gegen die stalinistische Sowjetunion ermunterten. So schrieb das Mitglied der Fellowship Lord Londonderry am 25. Februar 1936 an Hermann Göring:

Die Organisation

Am 2. Dezember 1935 erfolgte die erste Generalversammlung in der Zentrale des Unilever-Konzerns, ab Herbst 1936 fanden regelmäßig monatliche Zusammenkünfte statt.

Die Fellowship führte massiv prodeutsche Propaganda in Großbritannien. Jahrelang lud man hohe SA- und HJ-Führer, Diplomaten, Minister und Kommunalpolitiker in Londoner Clubs und auf Landsitze ein. Unter den Gästen und Rednern befanden sich der spätere Außenminister Ribbentrop, Generalfeldmarschall von Blomberg, der nationalsozialistische Reichssportführer Hans von Tschammer und Osten, Himmlers Adjutant Hajo Freiherr von Hadeln und Herzog Carl Eduard (Sachsen-Coburg und Gotha). Zu den Reichsparteitagen der NSDAP in Nürnberg fuhr regelmäßig eine starke Abordnung der Fellowship. Es wurde eine eigene Zeitung, die Anglo-German Review, herausgegeben. Insgesamt 50 Mitglieder beider Häuser des Parlaments hatten sich der Fellowship angeschlossen. Lord Londonderry besuchte drei- bis viermal im Jahr Hitler und Göring. Enge Beziehungen bestanden zum Cliveden Set.

Der sowjetische Agent Kim Philby war Mitglied der Organisation, Hitlers Spionin, Stéphanie zu Hohenlohe-Waldenburg-Schillingsfürst, Ehrenmitglied.

Mitglieder

Die einflussreichsten Mitglieder der etwa 600 bis 800 Mann starken Vereinigung waren:

Darüber hinaus waren folgende Konzerne, Gesellschaften und Banken durch Vorstands- oder Direktoriumsmitglieder vertreten:

Auflösung

Lord Mount Temple legte am 19. November 1938 das Amt des Präsidenten nieder und stellte zusammen mit 20 anderen Mitgliedern die Tätigkeit ein. In der Öffentlichkeit trat die Fellowship ab November 1938 kaum noch in Erscheinung, was fast einem Zerfall gleichkam. Nach der Besetzung der Rest-Tschechei hörte die Gesellschaft auf zu bestehen.

Am 8. Juni 1939 schrieb Londonderry an Franz von Papen, dass er seine Meinung geändert habe, nachdem Deutschland die Tschechoslowakei überrannt habe. Dies habe gezeigt, "dass ein von Deutschland gegebenes Versprechen keine reale Grundlage habe", und er führte aus:

In einem Brief vom 2. April an Neville Chamberlain begrüßte Londonderry die Britisch-französische Garantieerklärung an Polen.

HMC's community garden. Lessons for Oregon. Learning to innovate from Metropolis. The Dirt on the equity of smart growth. ArchDaily's noteworthy social media campaign.
Community garden. As part of Earth Week, HMC's Ontario studio planted a community garden of vegetables and learned about compost, irrigation and earthworms.
There is, however, a community component, in launching the garden: hunger. The purpose of HMC's community garden is to engage staff to volunteer and collaborate outside the studio, promote sustainable living, and inspire staff and visitors to start gardens of their own.
Lessons for Oregon. Architect Randy Nishimura writes on how the devastating Tohoku earthquake and tsunami in Japan in 2011 was a wakeup call and wealth of information for seismologists, hydrologists, and engineers in the Pacific Northwest.
Learning to innovate. Educator and businesswoman Michelle Greenwald shares key takeaways that companies like to hear in understanding how physical and mental environments can impact creativity and collaboration.
It's critical to allow and allocate time to innovate and do things well.
A range of customer touch points makes new products and services great.
It's extremely important to create a psychological and physical environment that fosters innovation.
Having a Methodical Process and Great Stimuli maximize creativity.
All ideas need solid screening criteria that both fit what the brand stands for and make economic sense.
Is smart growth equitable? With the rise of "smart growth" approaches to urban development – the promotion of dense, walkable urban centers as an alternative to sprawl – there are questions whether smart growth is actually equitable.
Those compact, walkable neighborhoods are in hot demand across the country so it costs more to live there, which means not everyone gets to reap all the health benefits from living in a walkable community. In gentrifying neighborhoods, the issue is further compounded because people who once lived in these communities and could walk everywhere are being pushed out because they can't afford the rising rents and property taxes. They are instead being shunted to the suburbs, the growing place for the poor in the U.S. where many can't afford cars so they are even more affected.
Arch Daily created an engaging social media campaign on Facebook to commemorate World Book Day. They asked "What is your all-time favorite architecture book?" followed by having people post their top books in the comment section and then follow "The Architect's Library" on Pinterest where they have posted an amazing selection of books.
HDR wonders about meddling with nature. Creating good places with Perkins+Will. Architects + Artisans' offers thoughts on shingle style. Studio E Architects on the new black: small. A birthday party on Facebook.
Meddling with mother nature. Mark Meaders, sustainable design project manager at HDR Architecture, talks about whether an aerial spraying of insecticide to kill mosquitoes with West Nile virus in Dallas was necessary and even effective.
Meaders asks if the decision to spray affected things we didn't consider and longer term consequences of spraying and nature such as the bee population in Dallas. Bees contribute $14 billion to the value of U.S. crop production through their pollination efforts.
Creating a good place. Carl Meyer, a principal at Perkins +Will, examines the importance of third places – the informal "public places on neutral ground where people can gather and interact," according to urban sociologist Ray Oldenburg.
Meyer ponders whether the third place is something that can be designed, and looks deeper at the idea.
Shingle style. The book "Shingle Style" written by Lucia Howard and David Weingarten looks at poets, artists and musicians of San Francisco who built their homes and clad them in shingles from nearby forests.
The book looks at 20 homes in the book, mostly between 2,000 and 3,000 square feet. Howard and Weingarten, architects at Ace Architects in Oakland, place all of them in context as the best examples of American shingle design.
Small is the new black. Studio E Architects explores the soaring popularity of tiny dwellings, and offers tips on what you should look for in a micro-flat.
In California, 160 square feet is the legal minimum size for a dwelling unit. Some people are experimenting with ultra-compacts in that range – however most developers are looking at units that average between 250 to 400 square feet.
Gerber celebrates 85 years. Early childhood nutrition brand Gerber is celebrating its 85th birthday this year with a virtual cake on its Facebook page for its 5.1 million fans. Gerber is giving away a daily cash prize for 85 days for those who "join the party," but eligible recipients must like the brand first. On the 85th Birthday Party tab on Gerber's Facebook page, fans are prompted to blow out a virtual candle for a chance to win the daily $585 prize. Each entry also gives participants a chance to win the grand prize of $20,085.
Gensler on types of urban interface. Manaugh looks at Arctic instruments. Preservation Nation features church like no other. Earth day with Ayers Saint Gross and Living Classrooms. The Dirt shows the power of flowers.
Urban interface. Sarah Mathieson, an architectural assistant from the Gensler London office, discusses how the London office explored how education campuses interact with their immediate surroundings, or what they call the Urban Interface, as part of the Education Practice Area Next Gen Initiative.
Suburban/Rural: Has dedicated facilities separated from the surrounding environment, allowing for multiple interactions between educators and students; establishes a clear institutional identity but offers less real estate flexibility and less accessibility if the student is off campus.
Urban Cluster: Offers real estate flexibility, allowing for interaction with educators and accessibility both on and off campus. As students are more dispersed, however, interactions between them are fewer, and the sense of institutional identity isn't as strong.
Urban: Has dedicated facilities allowing for interactions between educators and students and is accessible on and off campus, as it is based in the community. It offers less real estate flexibility.
Virtual: Possesses no real estate but is accessible from anywhere. As the institutional identity is digital, it is thus not part of the greater community.
Global: Real estate accessible in multiple locations exports the institutional identity and allows for interactions between educators and students. This reach could be seen as diluting the offer (exclusivity).
Arctic instruments. Geoff Manaugh writes about at a trip students from the University of Lund School of Architecture took to the Arctic island of Svalbard last autumn led by David Garcia.
Students flew up to visit "the far north, beyond the Polar Circle, to Svalbard, to study the growing communities affected by the melting ice cap and the large opportunities for transportation and resources that the northeast passage now offers," researching first-hand the "urban structures in the extreme cold" with Arctic instruments.
Historic church gets mural makeover. Graffiti artist Alex Brewer, also known as HENSE, took to Washington, D.C.'s city streets last year to transform an abandoned, historic church into a work of art.
In several weeks, HENSE dove into his imagination and conjured up the beautiful, vibrant mural that now envelopes the church.
Living classrooms. In honor of Earth Day, 14 volunteers from Ayers Saint Gross had the unique opportunity to help build 23 floating wetlands that will be planted and launched into the Inner Harbor in Baltimore, Maryland, on April 20..
Spearheaded by Living Classrooms and Biohabitats, the project will support the city of Baltimore's effort to make The Harbor swimmable, healthy and fishable by 2020.
Flower power. Tyler Silvestro, a master's of landscape architecture candidate at the City College of New York (CUNY), examines the Center for Sustainable Landscapes (CSL), one of the Earth's greenest buildings and the latest addition to the Phipps Conservatory and Botanical Gardens of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
Richard Piacentini, executive director of Phipps Conservatory and Botanical Gardens, says the primary drive behind the Center for Sustainable Landscapes is to function "as elegantly and efficiently as a flower." While the merits of this approach can be questioned, the pure essentials of this poetic gesture are there.
BNIM's collaboration stage. Lake|Flato on the Evolution of air barns. Stantec sees common ground in ski areas and airports. Placemakers on mixed use. Innovations in education with LPA.
Setting the stage for collaboration. BNIM staff attended the firm's annual Symposium, opting for "family" conversation that encouraged informal dialogue instead of traditional breakout sessions.
Evolution of air barns. Grace Boudewyns of Lake Flato discusses working on "Air Barns," a project that was designed to provide a habitat for a client's string of polo ponies.
Ski areas and airports share common ground. Bruce Erickson, a senior associate at Stantec, explores how ski areas and airports have a lot in common and how planners of each property can learn from one other.
Land side: Parking, shuttle, utilities etc.
What is mixed use? Howard Blackson, principal and director of planning at Placemakers, looks at the term mixed use, which has held different meanings in various places over the past 40 years.
Blackson says mixed-use can be defined as three-dimensional, pedestrian-oriented places that layer compatible land uses, public amenities, and utilities together at various scales and intensities. This allows for people to live, work, play and shop in one place, which then becomes a destination for people from other neighborhoods.
Innovative urban education. Kate Mraw, an associate and interior designer at LPA, continues to discuss San Diego's e3 Civic High, a revolutionary school-within-a-library that aims to redefine the meaning of the studio. The second part of this series examines design goals and features, and as well as the administration's emphasis on sustainable architecture and engineering.
Evolving Library. Removing urbanity. Guide to rendering. Site and structure in Norway. Human rights social media blitz.
Evolving library. David Dewane of Gensler, discusses Librii, a digitally enhanced, community-based, revenue-generating library network created for the developing world. Librii has launched a Kickstarter campaign to receive funding for the pilot library.
Dewane explores the five ways Librii is innovative.
Removing urbanity. Kenneth Caldwell of Caldwell Communications writes about his feelings of sentimentality when he sees the loss of urbanity in buildings and architecture in San Francisco.
Guide to rendering. Build LLC discusses the importance of renderings, and how they have found them to be beneficial throughout multiple phases of their design and build process.
Site and structure in Norway. David Hirzel, principal emeritus at Sasaki Associates, writes on how he was awarded a Fulbright Scholarship to study architecture in Norway in 1963, with a particular interest in wood construction and Norway's rich history with this type of building.
Hirzel talks about what struck him when he first saw the stave churches and farm buildings was their dramatic setting in the many valleys throughout Norway and how the individual church buildings and the groupings of farm buildings related to the unique environmental characteristics and functional requirements for the location and each building.
The Human Rights Campaign's ubiquitous logo went viral last week in anticipation of two landmark marriage equality cases argued before the United States Supreme Court. Facebook reported a 120% increase in profile picture swaps to support gay marriage, as compared with an average day.
According to a post from Facebook data scientist Eytan Bakshy, 2.7 million more users swapped their photos Tuesday, March 26, than on the previous Tuesday, due to the viral marriage equality Facebook campaign started by the Human Rights Campaign.

Sean Carroll earned his celebrity by stitching together the patterning that underlies much of the animal kingdom's various shades and shapes.

Sean Carroll's most flamboyant finding was prompted by an innocent query before a seminar. Carroll had gone down to Duke University to give a talk about his research on the genes and molecules that direct the regular spacing of bristles on a fruit fly leg. There he met up with Fred Nijhout, who had been studying the spots on butterfly wings. "Fred asked, 'Do you think the things you're working on could explain these patterns, too?' And he shows me a bunch of butterflies," says Carroll. "I said, 'I don't know, Fred. It's a big question.' But it haunted me."
So Carroll asked Nijhout for some butterflies. And he set out to do the same sort of rigorous analysis he'd been conducting on Drosophila...
Palin vs. the flies
Fire Fly
Patricia Wittkopp: Fresh eyes on flies
First, they found that the same genes that make a wing in a fruit fly also make a wing in a butterfly. "So we saw that these genes have deeply conserved jobs in building limbs," says Carroll. But the big surprise came next. To address Nijhout's original question about spots, Carroll and company then looked to see which genes are turned on in a butterfly chrysalis a week or so before it emerges to unfurl its colorful wings. And they discovered, much to their surprise, that one of the master genes involved in making limbs, a gene called Distal-less, is also switched on in the center of every developing eyespot, one of the wing's most dramatic markings.
"It just smacked us in the face," says Carroll. "Here was this ancient gene, doing something entirely new." In addition to its regular duty assembling the wing, it also graced the wing with spots. "So the message," says Carroll, "is that you can teach old genes new tricks."
And as an HHMI investigator at the University of Wisconsin, Madison, Carroll has shown again and again that much of the physical and anatomical diversity we see in the creatures around us is generated using the same genes—and their associated regulatory networks—in novel ways. What's more, he's found that when evolution tinkers with animal form, it often does so by tweaking the switches that control gene expression.
"Sean got a lot of notoriety for showing that the same genes involved in the patterning of limbs were co-opted to give the patterns on butterfly wings," says Cliff Tabin of Harvard Medical School. The study made the cover of Science in 1994 and was picked up by the New York Times. "But regardless of popularization," says Tabin, "Sean is without a doubt one of the leading people in pattern formation during embryonic development and in evolution—and he has been a true pioneer in bringing those fields together."
"He's really been at the forefront of figuring out the genetic and molecular changes that have led to morphological diversity," adds Jim Skeath of Washington University School of Medicine, a former student. And he's written eloquently about the topic in textbooks and books aimed at the general public. Carroll's work—and his words—"have changed the way we think about how bodies evolve," says Neil Shubin of the University of Chicago.
EARNING HIS STRIPES
Since boyhood, Carroll has enjoyed collecting critters of all stripes, and has even been known to whip out a live snake during a seminar to make a point about patterning. But Carroll actually cut his academic teeth in immunology. After speeding through his undergraduate studies at Washington University in two years, he landed at Tufts, where he generated antibodies that allowed him to probe the structure and function of eukaryotic RNA polymerase II. "It was great training," says Carroll, who took three-and-a-half years to complete his thesis. "The immunological tools were great weaponry to have as the years went on."
When he joined Matt Scott's lab at the University of Colorado, Boulder as a postdoc in 1983—at the age of 22—Carroll aimed that weaponry at developing fly embryos. Scott had isolated genes belonging to the Antennapedia complex, a set of genes that control the normal development of the fly thorax. Mutations in Antennapedia cause flies to form legs where their antennae should be. Although Scott had cloned the genes themselves, Carroll says, "nothing was known about their expression or their function."
"He's really been at the forefront of figuring out the genetic and molecular changes that have led to morphological diversity." —Jim Skeath, Washington University School of Medicine
Which is where Carroll's immunology skills came in. "Sean started preparing antibodies against the still-mysterious protein products of these genes," says Scott, who's now at Stanford University. "And he used the antibodies to figure out when and where the genes were active and where the proteins were present." And he did it right. "He ended up with antibodies to die for," says Allen Laughon, another Scott postdoc who wound up on the faculty at the University of Wisconsin. What's more, he says, "Sean and Matt understood that with these beautiful reagents, they could look at gene expression not just in the wild-type embryo, but in various mutants."
The approach allowed them to begin to piece together gene regulatory hierarchies and cascades, says Laughon, "and it's a strategy that people have used ever since to figure out which genes regulate which." So, for example, Carroll and Scott followed the expression of the Ftz gene in a series of mutants defective in body segmentation, and they were able to identify which genes act upstream of Ftz—to regulate its expression—and which genes were its downstream targets.
"I remember fondly the first day we saw the striking pattern of stripes made by Ftz," says Scott. "We popped open some champagne and the corks made dents in our rather flimsy ceiling." It became a lab tradition—labeling the resulting marks with the dates of notable experimental successes. "We ended up with a highly decorated ceiling," says Scott. In fact, Carroll alone published 10 papers based on his work in Scott's lab, including three in Cell and one in Nature. "It was a very fertile time," says Carroll.
In his own lab in Madison, Carroll continued to chase the genes that generate body parts, especially "adult" features like wings, legs, and body color patterns. He looked in a menagerie of creatures in addition to flies and butterflies, and found, for example, that the Distal-less gene—and the regulatory elements associated with it—controls outgrowth of all sorts of limbs across the animal kingdom, including the legs of flies and butterflies, the feet of marine worms, and the siphons on sea squirts. "If you want to make a novel appendage, you just take this outgrowth circuitry and snap it into place," says Tabin.
But how do animals use the same genes and genetic circuits to do different things? The key, Carroll has found, lies in the regulation. "Body building genes play many different roles at different times in development. So they generally have vast regulatory regions," he says. And those regions might contain a dozen or more switches that include different binding sites for the sets of regulatory proteins that control when and where a gene is expressed. Evolution, then, fine tunes the function of these genes by fiddling with these regulatory switches.
"Sean was one of the people who really championed the idea that you could change morphology by changing the cis-regulatory elements of developmental genes," says Yale's Scott Weatherbee, Carroll's former student. "And he's pushed it to the forefront to the point where folks take it for granted that that's how different morphologies arise."
The earliest proof for this paradigm of cis-regulatory evolution came from studies the Carroll lab conducted on pigmentation in different Drosophila species. "Fruit flies differ remarkably in body pigmentation," says Antonis Rokas of Vanderbilt University, a former postdoc. "Some species are all black or tan or yellow. Others have various kinds of spots or pigments or stripes. And Sean's lab has been systematically dissecting the genetic basis for that variation." The team has shown, for example, that changes in the cis-regulatory sequences of a gene called Yellow are responsible for the patterns of spots—or the lack thereof—on the wings and bodies of Drosophila melanogaster and related species.
The work was fueled, in large part, by Carroll's enthusiasm and determination. "Sean has a real instinct for identifying the most informative experiments," says Patricia Wittkopp of the University of Michigan, another former student. "It doesn't matter if you've never done it before—or if others have failed. If it's the definitive experiment, then Sean encourages you to push hard to try to get it to work." Like her colleagues who cloned the butterfly genes, Wittkopp had to develop tools for studying the regulation of Yellow in different Drosophila species. "That really was the strength of the paper in the end," she says of the resulting article, published in Nature in 2005.
In addition to being experimentally rigorous, articles from the Carroll lab are also visually captivating. "Sean knows how to grab a person's attention, give them a compelling story," says Laughon. "And what could be more compelling than a gorgeous and informative image of a fluorescently stained butterfly wing or fly embryo?"
Not to mention—the guy knows how to write. "He's just phenomenally clear—and fast," says Skeath. "I'd give him a draft and within an hour he'd give back comments. It got to the point where I would wait until I thought he'd left for the day before dropping off my draft, just so I could get away from it for a night. He's just off the standard curve with regards to writing."
And perhaps with regards to where the papers appear. Indeed, publishing in Science, Nature, or Cell was the goal, says Jim Williams of the Nature Technology Corporation in Lincoln, Nebraska, a former postdoc whose work led to back-to-back cover articles in Nature and Science in 1994. "In a way, anything not in those three journals was a bit of a failure. Because if it wasn't global enough to be of general interest, you didn't get to the big picture."
Rokas agrees. "Sean used to say that life is too short to spend it trying to answer trivial questions. He'd really force you to think big and to try to find problems that are truly exciting," he says. "I think that's why so much of his work appears in these high-caliber journals: the studies are designed to be high impact from the get-go."
Which is good for Carroll's trainees—and for folks in the field. "He's one of those authors that when you see one of his papers, you make a point to read it," says Shubin. "Because you know it's going to be something that will change the way you think."

It's Episode 163 of In the Mood for Podcast, a British-based film podcast hosted by Calum Reed of Ultimate Addict and Pete Sheppard of In the Mood for Blog.
This week we return with a lively episode, featuring (sorry!) not a great deal of positivity, but we try and make the best of a bad situation regardless. There's two helpings of Michael Caine, firstly in the supernatural Vin Diesel vehicle "The Last Witch Hunter," and then in Paolo Sorrentino's "Youth," which had to ride some heavy preconceptions about its director's historic use of music. Elsewhere, Cal reviews gambling affair "Missisippi Grind" and we turn our attention to "Spectre," the latest film in a recent purple patch for the James Bond franchise. Other issues which emerge include Taylor Swift's legal problems, the history of curses in the game of baseball, and laughable accents of Jude Law past. We assess the history of BIFA Best Actress winners, there's speculation about Judi Dench's fondness for Vin Diesel, and the writing's on the wall for Sam Smith as we dig our claws into his latest assault on the eardrums.
The week's news:
Ricky Gervais to host the Golden Globes

or Download MP3
This week we're catching up for lost time with two weeks' worth of films, and a ton of news, from the sad demise of Mike Nichols to the influx of awards action, featuring discussion of Marion Cotillard's Oscar prospects and the underachievement of Edward Norton, while Pete is particularly aghast at the NBR's fondness for "The Lego Movie." Reviews this week include our take on podcast favourite Chadwick Boseman's portrayal of James Brown in "Get On Up," the less-than-popular Hilary Swank in Tommy Lee Jones' maybe-Western "The Homesman," and the daunting prospect of Michael Bond's "Paddington" being adapted for the big screen. Elsewhere, Pete found time to see Antipodean vampire comedy "What We Do In the Shadows," while Cal was the only one queuing up to see Jennifer Lawrence in the latest instalment of The Hunger Games, "Mockingjay Part I." Meanwhile, there's a digression about 2006's Best Actress Oscar lineup, one of Faye Dunaway's many camp film roles is celebrated, Kevin Spacey's private life gets an airing, and Pete is seriously torn between allegiance and detest in anticipation for Jason Reitman's upcoming film, which stars the one and only Judy Greer.

Episode 99: The Changing of the Guard
It's Episode 99 of In the Mood for Podcast, a British-based film podcast hosted by Calum Reed of Ultimate Addict and Pete Sheppard of In the Mood for Blog.
This week marks the end of an era, as we announce who will take over from Emma Watson and Melvil Poupaud in our factor and range segments, so tune in to find out which delectable actor and actress will assume the baton. It's a week of good cast lists, as the latest blockbuster incarnation of "Godzilla" managed to assemble a who's who of Thespian talent (if you discount Aaron Taylor-Johnson), and we review period thriller "The Two Faces of January," despite not having a clue why it's titled as such. Cal goes it alone for "Concussion," the sapphic answer to "Belle De Jour," which Pete took as a cue to go into innuendo overdrive, while love triangle melodrama "In Secret" instigates fierce preconceptions about Jessica Lange. A recent death in the cinematography world leads to a digression about the best shot films of 1990, a discussion of anti-heroes turns into an analysis of category placement politics, plus the Huston problem rears its ugly head to plague one of our new replacements.

Episode 68: Taking No Prisoners
This week we're talking "Prisoners" but not taking any, as Denis Villeneuve's first foray into the studio system leaves at least one of us distinctly unimpressed. Pete interrupts Cal's plot run-down of the film with his best Paul Dano impression, while we dig into the hilarity of Melissa Leo, and cite the worst performances from actors in every film this week. Elsewhere, Pete gives his take on Italy's official Oscar submission "The Great Beauty," which features some interesting pubic design work, and Cal responds to Pete's abandonment of Gemma Arterton by braving Latin-set thriller "Runner Runner." We spend ages talking about Cate Blanchett's Oscar-tipped turn in "Blue Jasmine," and ponder Sally Hawkins' chances of finally getting that overdue nod. How this didn't turn into a bitching session about 2008's Best Actress line-up is anyone's guess.

A fine pair of topographical porcelain vases with scenes of Haarlem, circa 1830
Price: € 12500
A pair of very beautiful 'Empire' porcelain topographic Campana vases with extremely important historical scenes. The pair are in mint condition and the subjects are very rare and the vases were probably made to order.The gilding is in very good condition.
Topographical scene 1: a castle between Amsterdam and Haarlem located at the town of Half Weg which still exists. This castle was built in 1645/1648 The architect was Pieter Post, a very good architect with a fine reputation. In this castle there was a section designed for water-level measuring. This was very important for the Dutch. We always fought against the water and important dykes were built to control the water-level during storms, floodings and dry periods. Swanenburg is still the standard in the Netherlands for this. In the Dutch language it is called 'Zwanenburg Metingen'. Most of the castle is still in good condition and the entrance gate with the swans is very beautiful.
Topographical scene 2: an estate called 'De tuin land en Ijzicht'. This property was also in the neighbourhood of Haarlem. The first building on this estate was an inn built in 1793 by Frederick Kuhn. It was a very popular location between Amsterdam and Haarlem. In 1830 the building burnt down and was rebuilt.The engraving on the vase was made after a painting by Cornelis de Kruyff (1774 - 1828 Amsterdam: a fine Dutch painter, draughtsman, etcher and lithographer).
The porcelain Campana vases are unsigned. They are attributed to the famous Sevres factory in Paris, but they also made this kind of vase in Brussels. Similar vases were made by KPM (Royal Porcelain Factory Berlin) and in Austria and Russia.
These topographical vases were very fashionable in the early nineteenth century. They were very expensive and almost aways made to order from wealthy clients.
