  • Type of proof-listening required (Note: please read the PL FAQ): standard



    IMPORTANT - soloist, please note: in order to limit the amount of languishing projects (and hence the amount of files on our hard-pressed server), we ask that you post an update at least once a month in your project thread, even if you haven't managed to record anything. If we don't hear from you for three months, your project may be opened up to a group project if a Book Coordinator is found. Files you have completed will be used in this project. If you haven't recorded anything yet, your project will be removed from the forum (contact any admin to see if it can be re-instated).
    Please don't download or listen to files belonging to projects in process (unless you are the BC or PL). Our servers are not set up to handle the greater volume of traffic. Please wait until the project has been completed. Thanks!

0-1 PL OK.

Went to a talk today at the AIC on "The Accidental History of Iridescence." Louis Tiffany was inspired to create iridescent art glass after he wondered how the ancient Romans had obtained such a colorful effect on their vessels. It turns out that the vessels only became iridescent centuries later due to very slow unintended chemical changes. Long after their makers and original owners were dead.

Armitage is certainly different from the modern commentators I've read. Wonder if he's typical of mid-Victorian artistic thought?
