John Long (climber)
John Long (born July 21, 1953 ) is an American rock climber and author whose stories have been translated into many languages. A 1971 graduate of Upland High School in Upland, California, Long studied humanities at the University of LaVerne (graduating with departmental honors), Claremont Graduate School and Claremont School of Theology.
Long joined teenage climbers John Bachar, Rick Accomazzo, Richard Harrison, Tobin Sorenson, Robs Muir, Gib Lewis (climber), Lynn Hill, Jim Wilson, and Mike Graham as founding members of an elite group known as the "Stonemasters". As the result of the groups exploits, from the French Alps to the North Pole, combined with Long’s popular writings, the Stonemaster ethos was central in the “extreme” adventure sports culture.
While Long and the Stonemasters branched out into diverse disciplines including caving, river running and first descents, extreme skiing, big wave surfing, trans-continental traverses, BASE jumping and Himalaya alpine climbing, the original renown sprang from establishing scores of daring new rock climbs – throughout the 1970s and 80s - in Southern California and Northern Mexico, most notably at Tahquitz and Suicide Rock in Idyllwild, Joshua Tree National Park, and Yosemite Valley, all in California, and El Gran Trono Blanco, in Baja, Mexico.

Toronto
Toronto (
i/təˈrɒntoʊ, -tə/,local /təˈrɒnoʊ, ˈtrɒ-/) is the most populous city in Canada, the provincial capital of Ontario, and the centre of the Greater Toronto Area, the most populous metropolitan area in Canada. In the 2011 census, Toronto had a population of 2,615,060, making it the fourth most populous city in North America, after Mexico City, New York City, and Los Angeles. An alpha global city, Toronto is an international centre of business, finance, arts, and culture, and is widely recognized as one of the most multicultural and cosmopolitan cities in the world.
Aboriginal peoples have inhabited the area now known as Toronto for thousands of years. The urban history of the city dates back to 1787, when British officials negotiated the Toronto Purchase with the Mississaugas of the New Credit. They established the Town of York, and later designated it as the capital of Upper Canada. During the War of 1812, the town was the site of the Battle of York and suffered heavy damage by U.S. troops. York was renamed and incorporated as the City of Toronto in 1834, and became the capital of the province of Ontario in 1867. The original borders of Toronto were expanded through amalgamation with surrounding municipalities at various times in its history, the results of which can been seen in the 140 independently unique and clearly defined official neighbourhoods that make up the city.

Old Toronto
Old Toronto is the retronym of the original city of Toronto, Ontario, Canada, from 1834 to 1998. It was first incorporated as a city in 1834, after being known as the Town of York, and became part of York County. In 1954, it became the administrative headquarters for Metropolitan Toronto. It expanded in size by annexation of surrounding municipalities, reaching its final boundaries in 1967. Finally, in 1998, it was amalgamated into the present-day "megacity" of Toronto.
Post-amalgamation, the area within the boundaries of the former city is variously referred to as the "former city of Toronto" or "Old Toronto". Historically, Old Toronto has referred to Toronto's boundaries before the Great Toronto Fire of 1904, when much of city's development was to the east of Yonge Street. The term "downtown core" is also sometimes used to refer to the district, which actually refers to the central business district of Toronto, which is located within the former city.
Old Toronto is the densest area in the Greater Toronto Area.

Letterlocking: The John Donne Lock, England (1601/1602) (UH0027)
Modelled after Donne’s letter to Sir Thomas Egerton (12 February 1601/1602), Folger Shakespeare Library L.b. 528. Model found in the Massachusetts Institute of Technology Libraries (MIT), Unlocking History Research Group archive, MC 0760. John Donne’s surviving letters at the Folger Shakespeare Library attest to his letterlocking style around 1600–1602, when he was in his late 20s and early 30s. Notoriously, these letters largely deal with the fallout from his impolitic marriage to his employer’s niece, Anne More. Donne was sacked and briefly imprisoned. The contents of his letters are fascinating from a biographical perspective. His intricate, flashy, and apparently unique letterlocking format has never previously received comment, however. Donne cuts a lock from another piece of paper...

The Mess That Is Early Modern Europe (1500 - 1700s) Explained: A Complete Overview
Early Modern Europe delves into an often overlooked period of European history, the time between the end of the Middle Ages and the French Revolution. We will go over the significant events of this period, starting with social life, the invention of the printing press, and the spread of the Renaissance out of Italy and the forms it took across the Alps. We then delve into how this led to the Reformation, first in Germany with Luther, and then in Switzerland with Zwingli and Calvin. We visit Tudor England under Henry VIII, Queen Elizabeth I and the English Reformation. The Catholic Church responds with the Counter Reformation and stunning Baroque Art styles emerge. The Reformation leads into a series of Wars of Religion from the mid 1500s to mid 1600s. We go over the wars in France, the ...

William the Silent led the United Provinces' (and later Dutch Republic's) bid for independence and he encountered many issues, notably the Duke of Alba and Parma as well as some hiccups in picking a monarch. All of the turmoil forced the D...

The Story of the Pilgrims and the Mayflower
Imagine fearing for your life so much, you leave your family and country, live in another society for a decade trying to start a new life, only to decide it wasn’t what you hoped. So, you decide to move to a wilderness where you can truly start from scratch, only to nearly starve and/or freeze to death with nearly no support, except what you can muster. In the fall and winter of 2020, like many others around the world, we were stuck in our house by the covid closures. On the weekend after Thanksgiving, out of boredom, I began reading about the Pilgrims and the Mayflower. As usual, I took notes as I read about their plight, letting one source lead me to another, which led to another. Being someone who has a lifelong enjoyment of writing and storytelling, I began crafting an ess...

Correction of Optical Defects: From Spectacles to Lasers - Professor William Ayliffe
Despite sophisticated techniques; Laser, intraocular surgery and contact lenses; spectacles remain the most popular method for correcting optical defects of the eye. Roger Bacon (1266) proposed that convex lenses could be used for elderly people with failing sight, replacing crystals used for magnification. Printing exploded the need for spectacles and by the close of the 20th century amazing advances in surgery corrected vision defects. The transcript and downloadable versions of the lecture are available from the Gresham College website: http://www.gresham.ac.uk/lectures-and-events/correction-of-optical-defects-from-spectacles-to-lasers Gresham College has been giving free public lectures since 1597. This tradition continues today with all of our five or so public lectures a wee...

Letterlocking: A Letter from William Yelverton to John Paston I, England (1443–1460) (UH0062)
Modelled after William Yelverton’s letter to John Paston I (c. 4 October 1444), the British Library, Add. MS 43488, Letters and papers of the Paston Family, Fol. 9r–v, Davis number 599. Model found in the Massachusetts Institute of Technology Libraries (MIT), Unlocking History Research Group archive, MC 0760. Justice William Yelverton wrote from Bayfeld to John Paston I on a paper remnant. According to scholar Norman Davis, Yelverton probably wrote the letter after he became a judge in July 1443 and before he was knighted in 1461. (Norman David, Paston Letters and Papers of the Fifteenth-century, volume II. Oxford: Oxford University Press, 197–198.) After writing, the letterpacket was C-folded head to tail, followed by a closed gatefold short-edge to short-edge. The letterpacket wa...

Phil Warwick’s cut-triangle wrapped locked letter to Sir John Bankes, England (1638) (UH0074)
Modelled after Phil Warwick’s letter to Sir John Bankes (8 June 1638), Bodleian Libraries, University of Oxford, MS Bankes 65/1 fols. 44/45. Model found in the Massachusetts Institute of Technology Libraries (MIT), Unlocking History Research Group archive, MC 0760. Warwick or his letterlocker had to perform a series of folds to plan where to create the attached lock used to lock this variation. The bifolium was folded in half, short edge to short edge twice, and then unfolded. The bifolium was folded in half, long edge to long edge, and unfolded. The resulting crease pattern created the guidelines for the triangular-shaped attached lock. The bifolium was opened flat and cut diagonally, beginning at the gutter fold and ending at the top edge near the centerfold. The bifolium was re-fol...

The contents of his letters are fascinating from a biographical perspective. His intricate, flashy, and apparently unique letterlocking format has never previously received comment, however. Donne cuts a lock from another piece of paper, shaping it into a kite with a long tail, folding it lengthwise, and snipping a hole from the center. Having folded up his letterpacket, he creates a slit perpendicular to the fore-edge. The narrow tip of the lock is pushed through, trimmed at an angle, and pushed back to create a secure hook. When the lock is folded round, the hook pulls tight. Sealing wax is applied beneath the lock but emerges through the lock’s hole. When the seal stamp is impressed into the sealing wax, it is therefore both beneath and above the lock, securing it shut, and exposed, creating a highly attractive packet. Digital facsimiles of the original letters can be viewed online at: LUNA: Folger Digital Imaging Collection.

Early Modern Europe delves into an often overlooked period of European history, the time between the end of the Middle Ages and the French Revolution.
We will go over the significant events of this period, starting with social life, the invention of the printing press, and the spread of the Renaissance out of Italy and the forms it took across the Alps. We then delve into how this led to the Reformation, first in Germany with Luther, and then in Switzerland with Zwingli and Calvin. We visit Tudor England under Henry VIII, Queen Elizabeth I and the English Reformation. The Catholic Church responds with the Counter Reformation and stunning Baroque Art styles emerge.
The Reformation leads into a series of Wars of Religion from the mid 1500s to mid 1600s. We go over the wars in France, the Spanish wars against the Dutch, the Wars of the Three Kingdoms in the British Isles, and finally the devastating Thirty Years War. There are also parts about social and economic change, focusing on the rise of mercantilism and the Witch Hunts.
This leads into the Age of Absolutism, marked by the reign of Louis XIV in France in the late 1600s. We go over 3 of his wars, with a focus on the War of Spanish Succession.
We end with a brief look at the new European powers of the 1700s, the Prussians, Austrians, and Russians.
It is the 2nd episode of our Early Modern series, which goes over the history of the world from roughly 1500 to 1800. The 1st episode dealt with the Age of Discovery.

Welcome to Early Modern series of the World History Summarized project! The entire project is meant to summarize broad topics in history and balances political history and events, with social/daily life, and culture. If you've watched our History of the World documentary, the project is a perfect next step. The videos are standalone, but presented in a chronological fashion. This series "the Early Modern" takes place after our megadocumentaries "The Ancient World" and "The Medieval World". It will be divided into 5 videos about the Early Modern period (c. 1500 - 1800) all over the world, and will be called Phase 3. Once these 5 videos are completed, we will move onto Phase 4 of the project, but this series will be considered completed, and compiled into ONE MEGA-DOCUMENTARY containing all 5 parts.

This episode of Ten Minute History (like a documentary, only shorter) covers the rise of Calvinism in the Spanish Seventeen Provinces and the subsequent outbreak of the Dutch Revolt/Eighty Years' War. William the Silent led the United Provinces' (and later Dutch Republic's) bid for independence and he encountered many issues, notably the Duke of Alba and Parma as well as some hiccups in picking a monarch. All of the turmoil forced the Dutch to innovate in matters of commerce and trade whilst having to decide the religious policy of their new state. The Dutch (after losing some territory) would win their independence in 1609 but the Spanish wouldn't accept this until 1648.
Recommended books:
A Concise History of the Netherlands by James C. Kennedy. - A Very good book which goes into great detail about the events of the war and the importance of religious and commercial reform. Very good book.
Christendom Destroyed, Europe 1517-1648 by Mark Greengrass. Another extremely good work, it bounces all over Europe so don't expect to be able to read a chapter on the Dutch and know everything. Fantastic for the religious changes in Europe during the period.

Imagine fearing for your life so much, you leave your family and country, live in another society for a decade trying to start a new life, only to decide it wasn’t what you hoped. So, you decide to move to a wilderness where you can truly start from scratch, only to nearly starve and/or freeze to death with nearly no support, except what you can muster.
In the fall and winter of 2020, like many others around the world, we were stuck in our house by the covid closures. On the weekend after Thanksgiving, out of boredom, I began reading about the Pilgrims and the Mayflower.
As usual, I took notes as I read about their plight, letting one source lead me to another, which led to another.
Being someone who has a lifelong enjoyment of writing and storytelling, I began crafting an essay. Over the next several weeks, each day I’d sit down and read and write more about what I read, until the essay was suddenly some 40 pages long. And that was before I found biographies about many of the passengers.
‘Now what do I do with this?’ I wondered.
I decided to create a video for our family and friends who were likely bored at home too.
This is the result. I’ve not been paid a single nickel for this. Some apparently expect perfection and this certainly is not.
It was fun.
I’ve been constantly stunned by the number of people who have seen it, reacted to it and commented about it both positively and negatively. Everyone is entitled to their opinions and I certainly don’t expect everyone to agree with mine.
None of us can say with certainty what happened some 400 years ago, we weren’t there.
But we can imagine. Imagining history has always made it something enjoyable for me. Hopefully, it does for many others too.

Despite sophisticated techniques; Laser, intraocular surgery and contact lenses; spectacles remain the most popular method for correcting optical defects of the eye. Roger Bacon (1266) proposed that convex lenses could be used for elderly people with failing sight, replacing crystals used for magnification. Printing exploded the need for spectacles and by the close of the 20th century amazing advances in surgery corrected vision defects.
The transcript and downloadable versions of the lecture are available from the Gresham College website:

Letterlocking: A Letter from William Yelverton to John Paston I, England (1443–1460) (UH0062)

Modelled after William Yelverton’s letter to John Paston I (c. 4 October 1444), the British Library, Add. MS 43488, Letters and papers of the Paston Family, Fol. 9r–v, Davis number 599.
Model found in the Massachusetts Institute of Technology Libraries (MIT), Unlocking History Research Group archive, MC 0760.
Justice William Yelverton wrote from Bayfeld to John Paston I on a paper remnant. According to scholar Norman Davis, Yelverton probably wrote the letter after he became a judge in July 1443 and before he was knighted in 1461. (Norman David, Paston Letters and Papers of the Fifteenth-century, volume II. Oxford: Oxford University Press, 197–198.)
After writing, the letterpacket was C-folded head to tail, followed by a closed gatefold short-edge to short-edge.
The letterpacket was slit through all layers perpendicular to the vertical axis. Both ends of a paper lock were possibly inserted through the slit with another piece of paper inserted in the loop to anchor it. The ends of the lock were then trimmed, splayed, and secured with warm sealing wax. A circular reservoir was formed by pressing a cord into the wax, which could be filled with more wax and impressed with Yelverton’s signet.
This letter is part of the British Library’s collections known as the Paston Letters,“one of the largest archives of 15th-century English private correspondence, comprising about 1000 letters and documents including petitions, leases, wills and even shopping lists. They offer a unique glimpse into the personal lives of three generations of the Paston family from Norfolk over a period of 70 years – the family name comes from a Norfolk village about 20 miles north of Norwich. The Pastons rose from peasantry to aristocracy in just a few generations: the first member of the family about whom anything is known was Clement Paston (d. 1419), a peasant, who gave an excellent education to his son William (d. 1444), enabling him to study law. William’s sons and grandsons, two of whom were knighted, continued his relentless quest for wealth, status and land, and their story was acted out against the backdrop of the Wars of the Roses.“

From learning Leonardo's approach to portraiture, to a full Yearlong Old Master Apprenticeship in drawing, each course promises a positive transformation: https://therenaissanceworkshop.com/pr...
Sir Peter Paul Rubens (1577-1640) is considered the greatest, most influential and important painter of the Flemish School of the first half of the Seventeenth Century. This Workshop discusses his artistic development in the time of the Catholic Reformation in which the Council of Trent had reevaluated and redefined Catholic doctrine and practice. We also consider the importance of the Age of Discovery and the impact of new means of generating wealth on framing the context within which Rubens became Europe's dominant painter.
The workshop begins by looking at the work and different approaches of Rubens' three main teachers: Tobias Verhaecht (1561-1631), Adam van Noort (c. 1561-1461), and Otto van Veen (1556-1629). In the sections discussing these artists we discover the significance of The High Renaissance, Mannerism, ant The Catholic Reformation on these artists who shaped Rubens' development. We also discover what van Veen looked like through a portrait by his daughter, the artist Gertruida van Veen (1602-1643).
We see one of Rubens' Battle Paintings, The Battle of the Amazons, in which he collaborated with his landscape painter friend Jan Breughel the Elder (1568-1625) in c. 1598. At this time, Rubens was assimilating his wide-ranging influences from classical sculpture, High Renaissance nudes, violently dynamic compositions, as well as his classical education. He combines an interest in the mythological Amazons with his ability to respond creatively to the work of Leonardo da Vinci (1456-1519) and Raphael (1483-1520) whose designs for battle scenes inspired the young Rubens.
We then travel to Italy with Rubens in 1600 and see the tremendous impact that the work of the great Venetian painters painters Titian (c. 1498/90-1576) and Tintoretto (1518-15894) had on him as well as the St Matthew series by Caravaggio (1571-1610) unveiled in 1600 in the Chiesa di San Luigi dei Francesi, Rome.

Warwick or his letterlocker had to perform a series of folds to plan where to create the attached lock used to lock this variation. The bifolium was folded in half, short edge to short edge twice, and then unfolded. The bifolium was folded in half, long edge to long edge, and unfolded. The resulting crease pattern created the guidelines for the triangular-shaped attached lock. The bifolium was opened flat and cut diagonally, beginning at the gutter fold and ending at the top edge near the centerfold.
The bifolium was re-folded, leaving the attached lock extending away from the substrate. The substrate was folded head to tail, short edge to short edge, then there was a final fold to create the packet with the triangle-shaped attached lock wrapped around the fore-edge of the letterpacket and tacked down with warm sealing wax. Additional wax impressed with a seal was applied over the external “seam” created by the attached lock. Although handsome, this folding variation allows access to the inside of the letterpacket while it is in its locked state.

Ajanta est un ensemble de trente grottes creusées dans le flanc d'une falaise. Découvert en 1819 lors d'une chasse au tigre anglaise, il est célèbre pour ses peintures murales colorées sur plâtre, datant des Ve et VIe siècles, qui illustrent des scènes de la vie sociale de l'époque. Les trente grottes comprennent cinq chaityas (temples) et 25 vihara (monastères) de différentes tailles. Ellora contient 34 grottes appartenant à différentes religions indiennes et reste un important lieu de pèlerinage.

John Donne’s surviving letters at the Folger Shakespeare Library attest to his letterlocking style around 1600–1602, when he was in his late 20s and early 30s. Notoriously, these letters largely deal with the fallout from his impolitic marriage to his employer’s niece, Anne More. Donne was sacked and briefly imprisoned. The contents of his letters are fascinating from a biographical perspective. His intricate, flashy, and apparently unique letterlocking format has never previously received comment, however. Donne cuts a lock from another piece of paper, shaping it into a kite with a long tail, folding it lengthwise, and snipping a hole from the center. Having folded up his letterpacket, he creates a slit perpendicular to the fore-edge. The narrow tip of the lock is pushed through, trimmed at an angle, and pushed back to create a secure hook. When the lock is folded round, the hook pulls tight. Sealing wax is applied beneath the lock but emerges through the lock’s hole. When the seal stamp is impressed into the sealing wax, it is therefore both beneath and above the lock, securing it shut, and exposed, creating a highly attractive packet. Digital facsimiles of the original letters can be viewed online at: LUNA: Folger Digital Imaging Collection.

Early Modern Europe delves into an often overlooked period of European history, the time between the end of the Middle Ages and the French Revolution.
We will go over the significant events of this period, starting with social life, the invention of the printing press, and the spread of the Renaissance out of Italy and the forms it took across the Alps. We then delve into how this led to the Reformation, first in Germany with Luther, and then in Switzerland with Zwingli and Calvin. We visit Tudor England under Henry VIII, Queen Elizabeth I and the English Reformation. The Catholic Church responds with the Counter Reformation and stunning Baroque Art styles emerge.
The Reformation leads into a series of Wars of Religion from the mid 1500s to mid 1600s. We go over the wars in France, the Spanish wars against the Dutch, the Wars of the Three Kingdoms in the British Isles, and finally the devastating Thirty Years War. There are also parts about social and economic change, focusing on the rise of mercantilism and the Witch Hunts.
This leads into the Age of Absolutism, marked by the reign of Louis XIV in France in the late 1600s. We go over 3 of his wars, with a focus on the War of Spanish Succession.
We end with a brief look at the new European powers of the 1700s, the Prussians, Austrians, and Russians.
It is the 2nd episode of our Early Modern series, which goes over the history of the world from roughly 1500 to 1800. The 1st episode dealt with the Age of Discovery.

Welcome to Early Modern series of the World History Summarized project! The entire project is meant to summarize broad topics in history and balances political history and events, with social/daily life, and culture. If you've watched our History of the World documentary, the project is a perfect next step. The videos are standalone, but presented in a chronological fashion. This series "the Early Modern" takes place after our megadocumentaries "The Ancient World" and "The Medieval World". It will be divided into 5 videos about the Early Modern period (c. 1500 - 1800) all over the world, and will be called Phase 3. Once these 5 videos are completed, we will move onto Phase 4 of the project, but this series will be considered completed, and compiled into ONE MEGA-DOCUMENTARY containing all 5 parts.

This episode of Ten Minute History (like a documentary, only shorter) covers the rise of Calvinism in the Spanish Seventeen Provinces and the subsequent outbreak of the Dutch Revolt/Eighty Years' War. William the Silent led the United Provinces' (and later Dutch Republic's) bid for independence and he encountered many issues, notably the Duke of Alba and Parma as well as some hiccups in picking a monarch. All of the turmoil forced the Dutch to innovate in matters of commerce and trade whilst having to decide the religious policy of their new state. The Dutch (after losing some territory) would win their independence in 1609 but the Spanish wouldn't accept this until 1648.
Recommended books:
A Concise History of the Netherlands by James C. Kennedy. - A Very good book which goes into great detail about the events of the war and the importance of religious and commercial reform. Very good book.
Christendom Destroyed, Europe 1517-1648 by Mark Greengrass. Another extremely good work, it bounces all over Europe so don't expect to be able to read a chapter on the Dutch and know everything. Fantastic for the religious changes in Europe during the period.

Imagine fearing for your life so much, you leave your family and country, live in another society for a decade trying to start a new life, only to decide it wasn’t what you hoped. So, you decide to move to a wilderness where you can truly start from scratch, only to nearly starve and/or freeze to death with nearly no support, except what you can muster.
In the fall and winter of 2020, like many others around the world, we were stuck in our house by the covid closures. On the weekend after Thanksgiving, out of boredom, I began reading about the Pilgrims and the Mayflower.
As usual, I took notes as I read about their plight, letting one source lead me to another, which led to another.
Being someone who has a lifelong enjoyment of writing and storytelling, I began crafting an essay. Over the next several weeks, each day I’d sit down and read and write more about what I read, until the essay was suddenly some 40 pages long. And that was before I found biographies about many of the passengers.
‘Now what do I do with this?’ I wondered.
I decided to create a video for our family and friends who were likely bored at home too.
This is the result. I’ve not been paid a single nickel for this. Some apparently expect perfection and this certainly is not.
It was fun.
I’ve been constantly stunned by the number of people who have seen it, reacted to it and commented about it both positively and negatively. Everyone is entitled to their opinions and I certainly don’t expect everyone to agree with mine.
None of us can say with certainty what happened some 400 years ago, we weren’t there.
But we can imagine. Imagining history has always made it something enjoyable for me. Hopefully, it does for many others too.

Despite sophisticated techniques; Laser, intraocular surgery and contact lenses; spectacles remain the most popular method for correcting optical defects of the eye. Roger Bacon (1266) proposed that convex lenses could be used for elderly people with failing sight, replacing crystals used for magnification. Printing exploded the need for spectacles and by the close of the 20th century amazing advances in surgery corrected vision defects.

Modelled after William Yelverton’s letter to John Paston I (c. 4 October 1444), the British Library, Add. MS 43488, Letters and papers of the Paston Family, Fol. 9r–v, Davis number 599.
Model found in the Massachusetts Institute of Technology Libraries (MIT), Unlocking History Research Group archive, MC 0760.
Justice William Yelverton wrote from Bayfeld to John Paston I on a paper remnant. According to scholar Norman Davis, Yelverton probably wrote the letter after he became a judge in July 1443 and before he was knighted in 1461. (Norman David, Paston Letters and Papers of the Fifteenth-century, volume II. Oxford: Oxford University Press, 197–198.)
After writing, the letterpacket was C-folded head to tail, followed by a closed gatefold short-edge to short-edge.
The letterpacket was slit through all layers perpendicular to the vertical axis. Both ends of a paper lock were possibly inserted through the slit with another piece of paper inserted in the loop to anchor it. The ends of the lock were then trimmed, splayed, and secured with warm sealing wax. A circular reservoir was formed by pressing a cord into the wax, which could be filled with more wax and impressed with Yelverton’s signet.
This letter is part of the British Library’s collections known as the Paston Letters,“one of the largest archives of 15th-century English private correspondence, comprising about 1000 letters and documents including petitions, leases, wills and even shopping lists. They offer a unique glimpse into the personal lives of three generations of the Paston family from Norfolk over a period of 70 years – the family name comes from a Norfolk village about 20 miles north of Norwich. The Pastons rose from peasantry to aristocracy in just a few generations: the first member of the family about whom anything is known was Clement Paston (d. 1419), a peasant, who gave an excellent education to his son William (d. 1444), enabling him to study law. William’s sons and grandsons, two of whom were knighted, continued his relentless quest for wealth, status and land, and their story was acted out against the backdrop of the Wars of the Roses.“

Sir Peter Paul Rubens (1577-1640) is considered the greatest, most influential and important painter of the Flemish School of the first half of the Seventeenth Century. This Workshop discusses his artistic development in the time of the Catholic Reformation in which the Council of Trent had reevaluated and redefined Catholic doctrine and practice. We also consider the importance of the Age of Discovery and the impact of new means of generating wealth on framing the context within which Rubens became Europe's dominant painter.
The workshop begins by looking at the work and different approaches of Rubens' three main teachers: Tobias Verhaecht (1561-1631), Adam van Noort (c. 1561-1461), and Otto van Veen (1556-1629). In the sections discussing these artists we discover the significance of The High Renaissance, Mannerism, ant The Catholic Reformation on these artists who shaped Rubens' development. We also discover what van Veen looked like through a portrait by his daughter, the artist Gertruida van Veen (1602-1643).
We see one of Rubens' Battle Paintings, The Battle of the Amazons, in which he collaborated with his landscape painter friend Jan Breughel the Elder (1568-1625) in c. 1598. At this time, Rubens was assimilating his wide-ranging influences from classical sculpture, High Renaissance nudes, violently dynamic compositions, as well as his classical education. He combines an interest in the mythological Amazons with his ability to respond creatively to the work of Leonardo da Vinci (1456-1519) and Raphael (1483-1520) whose designs for battle scenes inspired the young Rubens.
We then travel to Italy with Rubens in 1600 and see the tremendous impact that the work of the great Venetian painters painters Titian (c. 1498/90-1576) and Tintoretto (1518-15894) had on him as well as the St Matthew series by Caravaggio (1571-1610) unveiled in 1600 in the Chiesa di San Luigi dei Francesi, Rome.

Warwick or his letterlocker had to perform a series of folds to plan where to create the attached lock used to lock this variation. The bifolium was folded in half, short edge to short edge twice, and then unfolded. The bifolium was folded in half, long edge to long edge, and unfolded. The resulting crease pattern created the guidelines for the triangular-shaped attached lock. The bifolium was opened flat and cut diagonally, beginning at the gutter fold and ending at the top edge near the centerfold.
The bifolium was re-folded, leaving the attached lock extending away from the substrate. The substrate was folded head to tail, short edge to short edge, then there was a final fold to create the packet with the triangle-shaped attached lock wrapped around the fore-edge of the letterpacket and tacked down with warm sealing wax. Additional wax impressed with a seal was applied over the external “seam” created by the attached lock. Although handsome, this folding variation allows access to the inside of the letterpacket while it is in its locked state.
